Associations between prior wasting malnutrition and indices of insulin secretion and sensitivity among six cohorts from Asia and Africa: The SAMPA study

Diabetic Medicine, EarlyView.
Abstract Aims The role of prior wasting malnutrition (PM) in determining insulin sensitivity and secretion in low‐ and middle‐income countries (LMICs) remains unclear. We investigated associations of insulin indices with PM and whether these were modified by current body mass index (BMI).

Physiological Host Range of the Tachinid Istocheta aldrichi, a Potential Biological Control Agent for the Japanese Beetle in Europe

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, EarlyView.
This study provides the first laboratory assessment of the physiological host range of Istocheta aldrichi, a candidate biological control agent for Popillia japonica in Europe. In sequential no‐choice tests with 14 European scarab beetles, the parasitoid oviposited on six species but successfully developed only in the two Rutelinae Anomala vitis and ...

The aesthetic sublime of megaproject structures: A framework and a research agenda

European Management Review, EarlyView.
Abstract The physical structures of megaprojects—such as mega‐canals, metros, railway lines, bridges, tunnels, and iconic opera houses—hold a profound capacity to generate aesthetic experiences with enduring societal impact. Yet, research on megaprojects has predominantly focused on functionality and economic rationale with aesthetics being pushed to ...

Comparison of plasma separation techniques prior to freezing on equine immunoreactive adrenocorticotrophic hormone

Equine Veterinary Education, EarlyView.
Summary Background Pituitary pars intermedia dysfunction (PPID) is the most common endocrine disorder affecting older horses and is commonly diagnosed by measurement of basal plasma adrenocorticotrophic hormone (ACTH) concentration. Current guidelines advise that whole blood or gravity‐separated plasma samples must not be frozen prior to analysis ...

Phenotypic characterization of Arabidopsis thaliana mutants that alleviate root growth defects in a vitamin B6 biosynthesis mutant

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Vitamin B6 is a critical molecule for plant metabolism and development. Rsr4‐1, a loss‐of‐function mutant in a vitamin B6 biosynthesis gene, has a distinct short root phenotype. Here we describe five novel suppressor mutants with an rsr4‐1 background that have normalized root growth and distinct phenotypic and molecular characteristics, representing a ...

Ion binding sites and intermediate domain closure induced by D‐serine in the GluD1 ligand‐binding domain

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
GluD1 belongs to the ionotropic glutamate receptors and has important functions in the brain and brain diseases. We report the crystal structure of the GluD1 ligand‐binding domain with D‐serine and zinc ions. MD simulations supported promiscuous binding of cations and that chloride ions play a stabilizing role. Pro725 seems to hinder interlobe closure,

Surface charge alterations in urinary extracellular vesicles mirror diabetic kidney disease pathophysiology

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
This study reveals that changes in the electrical charge, that is zeta potential of large extracellular vesicles (uEVs) found in urine, can reflect disease progression from diabetes to kidney scarring (fibrosis). With further clinical development, measurement of uEVs charge could provide a simple, noninvasive way to monitor disease progression and help
