In Vitro and In Vivo Immunomodulatory and Protective Effects of Leukemia Inhibitory Factor‐Engineered Mesenchymal Stromal Cells in Experimental Endotoxemia

Microbiology and Immunology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Sepsis is a life‐threatening condition characterized by dysregulated systemic inflammation and high mortality rates. Mesenchymal stem/stromal cells (MSCs) have emerged as promising immunomodulatory agents; however, genetic engineering strategies can enhance their therapeutic efficacy.

URBAN CLIMATE GOVERNANCE AND THE UNEVENNESS OF CITY NETWORKS: The Trajectory and Perspectives of the Global Covenant of Mayors for Climate and Energy in Chile

International Journal of Urban and Regional Research, EarlyView.
Abstract Scholars have widely discussed integrating local administrations into climate governance networks, focusing on networks such as the Global Covenant of Mayors or C40, whose members are mostly in the European Union or countries of the global North and premium cities managed by engaged administrations. Relatively little is known about urban‐scale

Tree Squirrels Selectively Disperse High‐Quality Acorns Away From Tree Trunks

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Acorn quality and squirrel feeding behavior significantly structured spatial dispersal patterns of two Californian oak species. Non‐infested acorns were preferentially selected for embryo excision and dispersed farther than infested ones. Acorns were fully consumed near tree trunks, signaling rapid feeding in safe refuges, whereas non‐eaten, partially ...
