Perspective: Something Old, Something New? Review of Wasting and Other Mortality in Asteroidea (Echinodermata)

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2019
Asteroids (Echinodermata) experience mass mortality events that have the potential to cause dramatic shifts in ecosystem structure. Asteroid wasting describes a suite of body wall abnormalities that can ultimately result in animal mortality.

Temporal and spatial variation in population structure among brooding sea stars in the genus Leptasterias

Ecology and Evolution, 2021
Temporal genetic studies of low‐dispersing organisms are rare. Marine invertebrates lacking a planktonic larval stage are expected to have lower dispersal, low gene flow, and a higher potential for local adaptation than organisms with planktonic ...

Sea Star Wasting Disease in Pisaster Ochraceus on the Washington Coast and in Puget Sound [PDF]

, 2019
Pisaster ochraceus is a common west coast sea star whose predation of Mytilus californianus (the California mussel) increases the biodiversity of its intertidal community.

PrPCWD lymphoid cell targets in early and advanced chronic wasting disease of mule deer [PDF]

, 2002
Up to 15% of free-ranging mule deer in northeastern Colorado and southeastern Wyoming, USA, are afflicted with a prion disease, or transmissible spongiform encephalopathy (TSE), known as chronic wasting disease (CWD).

Triggers and mechanisms of skeletal muscle wasting in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. [PDF]

, 2013
Skeletal muscle wasting contributes to impaired exercise capacity, health-related quality of life and is an independent determinant of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.

A Review of Asteroid Biology in the Context of Sea Star Wasting: Possible Causes and Consequences

, 2022
Sea star wasting—marked in a variety of sea star species as varying degrees of skin lesions followed by disintegration— recently caused one of the largest marine die-offs ever recorded on the west coast of North America, killing billions of sea stars ...

Serum Myonectin Levels Are Positively Associated With Physical Function and Lower Frailty‐Related Limitation in Maintenance Hemodialysis Patients: A Cross‐Sectional Study

Therapeutic Apheresis and Dialysis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Maintenance hemodialysis (MHD) patients frequently suffer from frailty, characterized by reduced physical function and poor prognosis. Myokines, such as myonectin, secreted by muscle, are emerging regulators of systemic health. This study investigated the relationship between serum myonectin, adipokines (adiponectin, omentin), and ...

Comparative Evaluation of Hemodiafiltration, Hemoperfusion, and Standard Hemodialysis on Efficacy, Inflammatory Control, Dialysis Adequacy, and Safety in End‐Stage Renal Disease: A Prospective Observational Study

Therapeutic Apheresis and Dialysis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Chronic micro‐inflammation in patients with end‐stage renal disease (ESRD) is a significant driver of cardiovascular complications and diminished quality of life. While standard hemodialysis (SHD) effectively manages small‐molecule clearance, its ability to remove medium‐to‐large uremic toxins—the primary catalysts of systemic ...

Enteropathogenic E. coli shows delayed attachment and host response in human jejunum organoid‐derived monolayers compared to HeLa cells

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Enteropathogenic E. coli (EPEC) infects the human intestinal epithelium, resulting in severe illness and diarrhoea. In this study, we compared the infection of cancer‐derived cell lines with human organoid‐derived models of the small intestine. We observed a delayed in attachment, inflammation and cell death on primary cells, indicating that host ...
