Drug Repurposing for Treating NCOR‐Related Intellectual Disability
Advanced Science, EarlyView.An autism‐associated NCOR1 heterozygous mutation upregulates NRGs and activates NRG backward signaling in hypothalamic GABAergic neurons in mouse models, leading to Gabra2 downregulation and cognitive deficits, which can be therapeutically targeted by repurposing FDA‐approved drugs.

Computational fluid dynamics simulations of airflow through the nasal passages of rhinolophoid bats
The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Abstract The nasal passages of bats that emit their echolocation call through their nostrils have adapted for sound emission as well as standard respiratory and olfactory functions. Rhinolophids, hipposiderids and rhinonycterids all use a high duty cycle (HDC) echolocation strategy.

Climate‐Related Disclosure and Bank Performance: Does Bank Type Matter?
Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This paper investigates whether climate‐related disclosure (CRD) affects the financial performance of conventional banks (CBs) and Islamic banks (IBs) differently. Using a unique hand‐collected dataset on CRD for 591 banks (422 CBs and 169 IBs) from 24 countries over a 4‐year period, we examine how the relationship between CRD and financial ...

Geological Journal, EarlyView.This study reveals that the underexplored Benin Basin features a narrow shelf and steep slope, which promoted the development of multi‐phase, stacked channel‐lobe complexes. These gravity flow deposits, further enhanced by bottom current reworking, reveal a significant undiscovered Upper Cretaceous stratigraphic play with considerable petroleum ...
