The Toxoplasma “pseudo” ceramide synthase (TgCerS2) defines a novel apicomplexan class of these essential enzymes. Abstract Toxoplasma gondii is an obligate, intracellular apicomplexan protozoan parasite of both humans and animals that can cause fetal damage and abortion and severe disease in the immunosuppressed.

Optimizing VLP production in gene therapy: Opportunities and challenges for in silico modeling
Graphical Abstract and Lay Summary Abstract Over the past decades, virus‐like particle (VLP)‐based gene therapy (GT) evolved as a promising approach to cure inherited diseases or cancer. Tremendous costs due to inefficient production processes remain one of the key challenges despite considerable efforts to improve titers.

Delayed cortical thinning in children and adolescents with prenatal alcohol exposure
Prenatal alcohol exposure (PAE) is associated with cross‐sectional brain anomalies, and emerging data suggest atypical trajectories of cortical maturation. This longitudinal study adds to the existing literature by demonstrating that youth age 8‐17 with PAE have reduced age‐related cortical thickness change compared to non‐exposed Comparisons as well ...

Abstract New technologies enable retailers to collect large amounts of information about consumers, which might lead to ethical issues and risks of individuals' privacy loss. However, consumers might choose to disclose information to retailers when they perceive that the information would generate more benefits for themselves rather than for the ...

This analysis suggests that ICM is a cost‐effective strategy, versus conventional testing, for the diagnosis of unexplained syncope in China, and supports wider uptake of the technology. ABSTRACT Background The use of an insertable cardiac monitor (ICM) is recommended to help diagnose patients with unexplained syncope.

In the insect order Strepsiptera, we identified a paragenital organ in the family Stylopidae that serves as a secondary genital organ for traumatic insemination. We show that the cuticle at the penetration sites is thickened in all species studied, relative to control sites.

Lifelong medication in patients with chronic diseases compromises treatment adherence, therapeutic outcomes, and quality of life. The bioinspired 4D‐printed polypill self‐deploys upon ingestion, constricting passage through the pylorus while at the same time providing sustained drug release, serving as drug delivery platform with applications in both ...

Astrocytic determinant of the fate of long‐term memory
Main Points Opposing astrocyte manipulations cause fear‐like states or reduce fear. Astrocytes, at the moment of an experience, determine the long‐term memory fate. Astro‐ChR2 suppresses memory consolidation, while Astro‐ArchT inhibits remote memory decay.

Ecological interactions in glacier environments: a review of studies on a model Alpine glacier
ABSTRACT Glaciers host a variety of cold‐adapted taxa, many of which have not yet been described. Interactions among glacier organisms are even less clear. Understanding ecological interactions is crucial to unravelling the functioning of glacier ecosystems, particularly in light of current glacier retreat.
