Deficiency of Leucine‐Rich Repeat Containing G Protein‐Coupled Receptor 4 in Pancreas Reduces β Cell Mass

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
In islet β cells, LGR4 binds with Rspondin to activate the Wnt‐β‐catenin‐Ccnd1 axis, leading to a subsequent increase in cell proliferation. On the other hand, LGR4 also binds with RANKL, thus suppressing the phosphorylation of p44/p42 MAPK and p65 NF‐κB and subsequent cell apoptosis.

NRF2‐REGγ‐ACADM/KLF15 Signaling Pathway Regulates the Browning of White Adipose Tissue to Modulate Obesity

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
This study identifies that REGγ is elevated in obese adipose tissue. REGγ modulates WAT browning via ubiquitin‐independent ACADM/KLF15–UCP1 degradation. Overactivation of the NRF2–REGγ axis facilitates adipose tissue function to cause obesity. Inhibition of REGγ in the iWAT alleviates HFD‐induced obesity.

Survey of Ebola Viruses in Frugivorous and Insectivorous Bats in Guinea, Cameroon, and the Democratic Republic of the Congo, 2015–2017

open access: yesEmerging Infectious Diseases, 2018
To clarify the role of bats in the ecology of Ebola viruses, we assessed the prevalence of Ebola virus antibodies in a large-scale sample of bats collected during 2015–2017 from countries in Africa that have had previous Ebola outbreaks (Guinea, the ...

An Effective Oral Drug Delivery Route for Pharmacokinetic Complications: Spirulina Lipid Nanotechnology System

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Spirulina‐nano system facilitates the formation of drug coating on spirulina's surface through electrostatic adsorption. It targets intestinal villi effectively and overcomes the pharmacokinetic complications of IBS‐D. This system successfully carried out the treatment of multiple symptoms, including diarrhea, visceral hypersensitivity, mental symptoms,

Within-guild dietary discrimination from 3-D textural analysis of tooth microwear in insectivorous mammals [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Resource exploitation and competition for food are important selective pressures in animal evolution. A number of recent investigations have focused on linkages between diversification, trophic morphology and diet in bats, partly because their roosting ...
