Ambient light exposure influences childhood eye growth [PDF]

, 2016
• Although there is evidence that outdoor activity is an important factor involved in the development of childhood refractive error,1,2 the mechanism underlying the association between more outdoor activity and less myopia in childhood is not clear.\ud ...

Size-Fractionated Net Primary Production Distribution and Its Environmental Control in the East China Sea During Winter

Biology
Phytoplankton primary production (PP) underpins marine ecosystems. In winter marginal seas, the magnitude and size structure of PP not only sustain overwintering zooplankton but also shape larval fish survival and fishery resources in the following year.

Mucinosis follicularis provoked by light exposure

Acta Dermato-Venereologica, 1979
The present paper reports a study on a case of follicular mucinosis exacerbated by sunlight exposure. Provocation with standardized light testing was carried out on both normally pigmented skin and on areas of hypopigmentation representing a residual state after earlier skin lesions but without any signs of active mucinosis follicularis.

Autophagy and mitophagy in pancreatic β‐cell homeostasis and their involvement in diabetes pathophysiology

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
This review focuses on the role of autophagy and mitophagy in maintaining pancreatic β‐cell function and homeostasis. We discuss how genetic defects affecting these pathways contribute to the development of type 1, type 2, monogenic, and gestational diabetes. We further explore their potential as therapeutic targets. Created in BioRender.

Impact of light logger and dosimeter placement on wearability and appeal in real-life settings [version 1; peer review: 3 approved]

Open Research Europe
Background Light exposure plays a crucial role in human health, influencing sleep, circadian rhythms, and visual development. As wearable light loggers are increasingly used to monitor real-world light exposure, their design must balance metrological ...

Golgi enzymes are retrieved from the plasma membrane to the trans‐Golgi network

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Golgi enzymes are traditionally considered resident proteins retained within the Golgi apparatus. Here, we demonstrate that a subset transiently reaches the cell surface and is subsequently retrieved to the trans‐Golgi network via retrograde transport. Using a nanobody‐based toolkit, we uncover a dynamic trafficking cycle of several Golgi enzymes.

Weight status of young children: Exploring the relationship with sleep and light exposure [PDF]

, 2017
The problem of paediatric obesity remains significant. This study investigated the potential influence of two environmental mechanisms proposed to affect children's weight status, sleep and light exposure.

Partial depletion of plasminogen activator inhibitor‐1 decreases subcutaneous fat cell hypertrophy and liver cholesterol in high‐fat‐fed female mice

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Obesity raises blood levels of PAI‐1, a protein linked to metabolic dysfunction‐associated steatotic liver disease in people with obesity. In female mice fed a high‐fat diet, partially lowering PAI‐1 led to smaller subcutaneous fat cells and lower liver cholesterol, without changing body weight or insulin sensitivity.

Light-dependent magnetoreception in birds : increasing intensity of monochromatic light changes the nature of the response [PDF]

, 2007
Background The Radical Pair model proposes that magnetoreception is a light-dependent process. Under low monochromatic light from the short-wavelength part of the visual spectrum, migratory birds show orientation in their migratory direction.
