Splice variants of Na(V)1.7 sodium channels have distinct β subunit-dependent biophysical properties. by Clare Farmer, James J Cox, E V Fletcher, C Geoffrey Woods, John N Wood, Stephanie Schorge

“…The results could have a significant impact on channel availability, for example with the long version of exon 11, the co-expression of β1 subunits could lead to nearly twice as large an increase in channel availability compared to channels containing the short version. Our data suggest that splicing can change the way that Na(V) channels interact with β subunits. …”

Transcription factor binding sites are genetic determinants of retroviral integration in the human genome. by Barbara Felice, Claudia Cattoglio, Davide Cittaro, Anna Testa, Annarita Miccio, Giuliana Ferrari, Lucilla Luzi, Alessandra Recchia, Fulvio Mavilio

“…This study identifies TFBSs as differential genomic determinants of retroviral target site selection in the human genome, and suggests that transcription factors binding the LTR enhancer may synergize with the integrase in tethering retroviral pre-integration complexes to transcriptionally active regulatory regions. Our data indicate that gamma-retroviruses and lentiviruses have evolved dramatically different strategies to interact with the host cell chromatin, and predict a higher risk in using gamma-retroviral vs. lentiviral vectors for human gene therapy applications.…”

Spatial and Temporal Dynamics of Bentho-Demersal Communities From Bottom Trawl Across the Moroccan Mediterranean Coast in Relation to Environmental Conditions: Implications for Fis... by Douaa Slimani, Souad Abdellaoui, Najib El Ouamari, Khaoula Kasmi, Rajae Mouedden, Imade Ouebdil, Nassir Kaddouri, Jamal Settih, Mostafa Layachi, Mohamed Fadili, Khalid Chaabane

“…In this paper, we investigated the changes in marine communities in the Moroccan Mediterranean (20–620 m depth) over both space and time. Using data from trawl scientific surveys conducted by the National Fisheries Research Institute from 2018 to 2021, we conducted a quantitative analysis to (1) assess the seasonal spatial patterns of bentho-demersal communities, including both economically important species and those not directly targeted by fisheries, and (2) explore the interactions between these communities and environmental factors to gain deeper insights into the dynamics of communities structure. …”

Understanding embolus transport and source to destination mapping of thromboemboli in hemodynamics driven by left ventricular assist device by Sreeparna Majee, Akshita Sahni, Jay D. Pal, Erin E. McIntyre, Debanjan Mukherjee

“…Additionally, we demonstrate how the resulting embolus distribution patterns compare and correlate with descriptors based solely on hemodynamic patterns such as helicity, vorticity, and wall shear stress. Using the concepts of size-dependent embolus-hemodynamics interactions, and jet impingement driven flow for hemodynamics under LVAD operation as established in our prior works, we gain valuable insights on departure of thromboembolus distribution from flow distribution, and establish that our in silico model can generate deep insights into embolus dynamics which is not otherwise available from standard of care imaging and clinical data.…”
