Skeletal pathologies in extant crocodilians as a window into the paleopathology of fossil archosaurs
Abstract Crocodilians, together with birds, are the only extant relatives to many extinct archosaur groups, making them highly important for interpreting paleopathological conditions in a phylogenetic disease bracketing model. Despite this, comprehensive data on osteopathologies in crocodilians remain scarce.

Lrat+ quiescent hepatic stellate cells (qHSC) give rise to Lrat+Fbln2+ activated HSC (aHSC) in alcohol‐associated hepatitis and this subpopulation is highly profibrotic, inflammatory, and immunoregulatory based on their single cell transcriptomic profile. Abstract Background and Aims Relative roles of HSCs and portal fibroblasts in alcoholic hepatitis (

The Impact of Degree Class on the First Destinations of Graduates: A Regression Discontinuity Approach [PDF]
This paper uses a regression-discontinuity design to identify the causal impact of degree class on the first destinations of UK graduates. We exploit the discontinuous relationship between degree class and the mean grade achieved by graduates in their ...

Opposing consensus science through scholarly practices: The role of claims maintenance
Abstract This study examines how three US‐based communities who oppose consensus science produce and disseminate scholarly‐like artifacts: pro‐life activists, Young Earth Creationists, and Anthropogenic Climate Crisis skeptics. Prior research shows that industry‐ or church‐backed advocacy campaigns often generate claims supported by these communities ...

The 3‐Hit Metabolic Signaling Model for Autism Spectrum Disorder: A Summary
ABSTRACT Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a highly heritable yet environmentally sensitive neurodevelopmental condition whose biological heterogeneity has resisted a unifying causal explanation for over 100 years. The 3‐hit metabolic signaling model proposes that ASD arises from abnormal persistence of an evolutionarily conserved stress‐response ...
