European Journal of Haematology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Background Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a frequent and clinically relevant complication in allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) recipients, particularly during the early post‐HCT period. Although AKI has been extensively reported in long‐term follow‐up studies, data focusing on the initial hospitalization phase remain limited ...

The malate–aspartate shuttle supports thermogenic lipid mobilization in brown adipocytes
The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.Brown fat cells burn lipids within their mitochondria to generate heat. This process involves two energy “shuttles,” one of which is naturally blocked during heat production. We found that the second shuttle (MASh) is not required to generate heat. However, when MASh is disabled, the fatty acids meant for fuel are instead converted back into stored fat.

These changes in their way of life happened nearly 6,000 years ago.

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.Adult ascidians are capable of regenerating their entire brains following injury, and glycosaminoglycans have been shown to either promote or inhibit neuritogenesis. In this study, dermatan 2,6‐disulfate (D2,6S) was identified as the predominant complex carbohydrate in the ascidian brain.

The Trypanosoma cruzi vitamin C dependent peroxidase confers protection against oxidative stress but is not a determinant of virulence. [PDF]
, 2015 BACKGROUND: The neglected parasitic infection Chagas disease is rapidly becoming a globalised public health issue due to migration. There are only two anti-parasitic drugs available to treat this disease, benznidazole and nifurtimox. Thus it is important
