Hypoxia‐Induced Histone Lactylation Promotes Ferroptosis in Cardiomyocytes via the Wnt/β‐Catenin Pathway

The Kaohsiung Journal of Medical Sciences, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study investigated the effects of histone lactylation on ferroptosis in hypoxia‐induced cardiomyocytes. A hypoxia model was established in AC16 cells treated with 2‐Deoxy‐D‐glucose (2‐DG, a glucose analogue), ferrostatin‐1 (Fer‐1, a selective ferroptosis inhibitor), lactate (LA), sh‐β‐catenin (shRNA of β‐catenin), or SKL2001 (an agonist ...

Lions as Bone Accumulators? Exploring Multi‐Predator Contributions to the Olduvai Carnivore Site (OCS) (Tanzania) Through AI and Metric Analyses

International Journal of Osteoarchaeology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Lions (Panthera leo) are apex predators with a well‐documented influence on ecological dynamics, yet their potential role as bone‐accumulating agents remains poorly understood and often debated. Previous taphonomic studies have largely attributed bone accumulations in African savannah ecosystems to other carnivores, such as spotted hyenas ...

Structural stability of plant–pollinator interactions despite seasonal abundance of long‐tongued hawkmoths

Oikos, EarlyView.
Seasonal environmental cycles affect plant–pollinator interactions by altering plant phenology. Periods of low resource availability can filter pollinators and reduce the complexity of interaction networks, but the extent to which the functional morphology of pollinators influences such filtering remains unclear.
