Role of Antimicrobial Peptides in the Pathogenesis of Atopic Dermatitis

The Journal of Dermatology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a chronic inflammatory skin disorder characterized by barrier dysfunction, immune dysregulation, and microbial dysbiosis. Recent studies have highlighted the multifaceted roles of antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) both as innate defenders against microbial invasion and as regulators of immune responses and skin barrier ...

Early life exploration behaviour and life‐history loci are colocalized in an adaptive genomic hotspot in Atlantic salmon

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
The genetic architecture of phenotypic correlations offers insights into how natural selection operates in the wild. Two functional phenotypes in Atlantic salmon, early life exploration and age‐at‐maturity, are correlated at an adaptive genomic hotspot, but through distinct genetic markers (SNPs), ruling out causality.

Commercial energy efficiency and the environment [PDF]

The production and use of energy create serious, extensive environmental affects at every level, in every country, argue the authors. That impact may be more serious in developing than in developed countries as developing countries depend more on natural

Dwelling in a post‐fallout landscape: re‐shaping and sustaining life in a former evacuation zone in Fukushima Habiter après la catastrophe : redonner forme au monde et entretenir la vie dans une ancienne zone évacuée à Fukushima

Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute, EarlyView.
This article explores the activities of daily life in a village neighbouring the TEPCO nuclear power plant in Fukushima. It argues that one of the potentials of taking a dwelling perspective – a phenomenological approach to living within the ecological and social environments – emerges most compellingly within a polluted landscape.

Visualization analysis of coal fine migration and settlement under different types of pore-fracture

Meitan kexue jishu
The production of solid particles mainly composed of "coal fine" runs through the entire process of coalbed methane development, and the resulting reservoir damage is one of the important factors leading to production capacity decline and increased production costs.
