Trypanosoma dionisii in China: ecology and tentative epidemiology by Qin Liu, Mu-xin Chen, Yu-chun Cai, Yuan-yuan Li, Zi-yi Wang, Yun-hai Guo, Yu-wan Hao, Jing-bo Xue, Yi-dan Jing, Fan-na Wei, Yong-bin Wang, Yue-jin Li, Hai-fang Wang, Jun-ling Sun, Ya-li Wang, Gang Wang, Na Wang, Nai-li Guo, Jian-cun Fang, Wei-xiao Chen, Xun-ming Zhou, Yang Yu, Yi Zhang, Jun-hu Chen, Qiang Wang, Shi-zhu Li, Ge Yan, Qun Li

“…It is important to improve our understanding of ecological and epidemiological patterns to identify potential transmission vectors and to estimate the risk of T. dionisii infection in the local population as well as in various species of domestic and wild animals. …”

Lhx2 and Lhx9 determine neuronal differentiation and compartition in the caudal forebrain by regulating Wnt signaling. by Daniela Peukert, Sabrina Weber, Andrew Lumsden, Steffen Scholpp

“…We therefore suggest that after initial neural tube patterning, neurogenesis within a brain compartment influences the integrity of the neuronal progenitor pool and border formation of a neuromeric compartment.…”

Increase in colonic propionate as a method of preventing weight gain in adults aged 20–40 years: iPREVENT, a multicentre, double-blind, randomised, parallel-group trial by Gary Frost, Joana C Vasconcelos, Jennifer E Pugh, Aisha Anjum, Katerina Petropoulou, George Thom, Louise McCombie, Martina Tashkova, Sumayya Alshehhi, Daphne Babalis, Leah Holroyd, Christina Prechtl, Tom Preston, Mike J Lean, Waljit Dhillo, A Toby Prevost, and Douglas Morrison

“…Younger adults have a greater tendency to eat sporadically or snack throughout the day, whereas older people tend to have more regular meal patterns and settled routines. Previous studies using stable isotopes indicate that IPE releases propionate 3–4 hours post ingestion. …”

A juxtamembrane basolateral targeting motif regulates signaling through a TGF-β pathway receptor in Drosophila. by Aidan J Peterson, Stephen J Murphy, Melinda G Mundt, MaryJane Shimell, Edward B Leof, Michael B O'Connor

“…We explored whether such regulation occurs in the Drosophila wing disc, an epithelial tissue featuring the TGF-β family member Decapentaplegic (Dpp) as a morphogen controlling growth and patterning. Dpp protein has been observed in an extracellular gradient within the columnar cell layer of the disc, but also uniformly in the disc lumen, leading to the question of how graded signaling is achieved in the face of 2 distinctly localized ligand pools. …”

Widespread innervation of motoneurons by spinal V3 neurons globally amplifies locomotor output in mice by Han Zhang, Dylan Deska-Gauthier, Colin S. MacKay, Krishnapriya Hari, Ana M. Lucas-Osma, Joanna Borowska-Fielding, Reese L. Letawsky, Vladimir Rancic, Turgay Akay, Keith K. Fenrich, David J. Bennett, Ying Zhang

“…Summary: While considerable progress has been made in understanding the neuronal circuits that underlie the patterning of locomotor behaviors, less is known about the circuits that amplify motoneuron output to adjust muscle force. …”

The formation of endoderm-derived taste sensory organs requires a Pax9-dependent expansion of embryonic taste bud progenitor cells. by Ralf Kist, Michelle Watson, Moira Crosier, Max Robinson, Jennifer Fuchs, Julia Reichelt, Heiko Peters

“…Unexpectedly, Pax9 is dispensable for patterning, morphogenesis and maintenance of taste buds that develop in ectoderm-derived fungiform papillae. …”

Multi-tissue transcriptomic analysis reveals that L-methionine supplementation maintains the physiological homeostasis of broiler chickens than D-methionine under acute heat stress... by Mingyung Lee, Hyesun Park, Jung Min Heo, Ho Jun Choi, Seongwon Seo

“…Three-tissue-specific DEGs were functionally enriched for regulation of cholesterol homeostasis and metabolism, glucose metabolism, and vascular patterning. Chicks fed with L-Met had lower immune (e.g., IL4I1 and SERPINI1) and intestinal angiogenic responses (e.g., FLT1 and FGD5), and stable glucose and lipid metabolism (e.g., PCK1 and LDLR) under heat stress conditions. …”
