Ablation of lipocalin-2 reduces neuroinflammation in a mouse model of Krabbe disease
Scientific ReportsLipocalin-2 (LCN2) is an acute-phase secretory molecule significantly upregulated in various neuroinflammatory and demyelinating conditions. Krabbe disease (KD) is a neurodegenerative lysosomal disorder caused by a galactosylceramidase (GALC) deficiency,

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.We ask whether species with exceptionally tough silk, like Caerostris bark spiders, show different developmental patterns in silk toughness between ontogenetic stages and sexes. We found that only large females produce exceptionally tough silk with higher initial stiffness, while juvenile females as well as adult and juvenile males produce inferior ...

Removing wolves did not reliably prevent domestic animal losses
Conservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.Exploiting a rare, modest increase in data, we review five recent studies of killing gray wolves to protect domestic animals and produce a cross‐study consensus conclusion. From the five field studies, we find consensus that killing wolves to protect domestic animals, as currently practiced, was highly unpredictable.
