The fiscal impacts of increased U.S. oil and gas development on local governments
(Energy Policy, 2018-06-01)© 2018 Elsevier Ltd Increased US oil and gas production has created opportunities and challenges for local governments. Through interviews with roughly 250 local officials, we evaluate the fiscal effects of this development ... -
Evidence for the Adaptive Learning Function of Work and Work-Themed Play among Aka Forager and Ngandu Farmer Children from the Congo Basin.
(Human nature (Hawthorne, N.Y.), 2018-06)Work-themed play may allow children to learn complex skills, and ethno-typical and gender-typical behaviors. Thus, play may have made important contributions to the evolution of childhood through the development of embodied ... -
Within- and trans-generational plasticity: seed germination responses to light quantity and quality.
(AoB PLANTS, 2018-06)Plants respond not only to the environment in which they find themselves, but also to that of their parents. The combination of within- and trans-generational phenotypic plasticity regulates plant development. Plants use ... -
Swimming Exercise and Transient Food Deprivation in Caenorhabditis elegans Promote Mitochondrial Maintenance and Protect Against Chemical-Induced Mitotoxicity.
(Scientific reports, 2018-05-29)Exercise and caloric restriction improve health, including reducing risk of cardiovascular disease, neurological disease, and cancer. However, molecular mechanisms underlying these protections are poorly understood, partly ... -
Plasmodium parasite exploits host aquaporin-3 during liver stage malaria infection
(PLOS Pathogens, 2018-05-18)Author summary Plasmodium parasites undergo an obligatory morphogenesis and replication within the liver before they invade red blood cells and cause malaria. The liver stage is clinically silent but essential for the ... -
Enhanced efficacy of combined temozolomide and bromodomain inhibitor therapy for gliomas using targeted nanoparticles.
(Nature communications, 2018-05-18)Effective treatment for glioblastoma (GBM) is limited by the presence of the blood-brain barrier (BBB) and rapid resistance to single agent therapies. To address these issues, we developed a transferrin-functionalized ... -
Liver regeneration requires Yap1-TGFβ-dependent epithelial-mesenchymal transition in hepatocytes.
(Journal of hepatology, 2018-05-11)Chronic failure of mechanisms that promote effective regeneration of dead hepatocytes causes replacement of functional hepatic parenchyma with fibrous scar and ultimately results in cirrhosis. Therefore, defining and ... -
Are the ghosts of nature's past haunting ecology today?
(Current Biology, 2018-05-07)© 2018 Elsevier Ltd Humans have decimated populations of large-bodied consumers and their functions in most of the world's ecosystems. It is less clear how human activities have affected the diversity of habitats these ... -
Leaf phenology paradox: Why warming matters most where it is already warm
(Remote Sensing of Environment, 2018-05-01)© 2018 Elsevier Inc. Interactions between climate and ecosystem properties that control phenological responses to climate warming and drought are poorly understood. To determine contributions from these interactions, we ... -
Changing cancer survival in China during 2003-15: a pooled analysis of 17 population-based cancer registries.
(The Lancet. Global health, 2018-05)From 2003 to 2005, standardised 5-year cancer survival in China was much lower than in developed countries and varied substantially by geographical area. Monitoring population-level cancer survival is crucial to the ... -
Learning and Socializing Preferences in Hong Kong Chinese Children.
(Child development, 2018-04-30)The impact of social group information on the learning and socializing preferences of Hong Kong Chinese children were examined. Specifically, the degree to which variability in racial out-group exposure affects children's ... -
Acute kidney injury to chronic kidney disease transition: insufficient cellular stress response.
(Current opinion in nephrology and hypertension, 2018-04-26)Recent epidemiological and preclinical mechanistic studies provide strong evidence that acute kidney injury (AKI) and chronic kidney disease (CKD) form an interconnected syndrome. Injured kidneys undergo a coordinated ... -
Novel ACE2-Fc chimeric fusion provides long-lasting hypertension control and organ protection in mouse models of systemic renin angiotensin system activation.
(Kidney international, 2018-04-21)Angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) is a carboxypeptidase that potently degrades angiotensin II to angiotensin 1-7. Previous studies showed that injection of the enzymatic ectodomain of recombinant ACE2 (rACE2) markedly ... -

Principles that govern competition or co-existence in Rho-GTPase driven polarization.
(PLoS computational biology, 2018-04-12)Rho-GTPases are master regulators of polarity establishment and cell morphology. Positive feedback enables concentration of Rho-GTPases into clusters at the cell cortex, from where they regulate the cytoskeleton. Different ... -
A Connectome Wide Functional Signature of Transdiagnostic Risk for Mental Illness
(Biological Psychiatry, 2018-04-10)Background High rates of comorbidity, shared risk, and overlapping therapeutic mechanisms have led psychopathology research towards transdiagnostic dimensional investigations of clustered symptoms. One influential framework ...
