Apparently, both a decrease in beta cell function and in beta cell mass contribute to the progressive worsening of type 2 diabetes. So, it is of particular interest to define factors which are relevant for the regulation of insulin secretion and at the same time for the maintenance of beta cell mass. The NADPH-thioredoxin system has a candidate…[Read more]

Anticipation, at any temporal scale, is then part and parcel of keeping attuned to the movement of the unfolding situations to which an individual contributes. We concretize our account by returning to the example of anticipation observed in architectural practice. This account of anticipation opens the door to considering a wide array of human…[Read more]

Klebsiella pneumoniae is a frequent cause of nosocomial and severe community-acquired infections. Multidrug-resistant (MDR) and hypervirulent (hv) strains represent major threats, and tracking their emergence, evolution and the emerging convergence of MDR and hv traits is of major importance. We employed whole-genome sequencing (WGS) to study the…[Read more]

Our method is expected to provide a new strategy for analytical study and single-particle sensing in chemistry.During the flow of non-Newtonian fluids in porous media, the relationships between macroscopic quantities are governed by extremely complex microscopic fluid dynamics resulting from solid-fluid interactions. Consequently, the Darcy-scale…[Read more]

Viral invasion into the CNS has been reported to show association with complications like Parkinsonism, Alzheimer’s disorder, meningitis, encephalopathy, anosmia, hyposmia, anxiety, depression, psychiatric symptoms, seizures, stroke, etc. This review provides a detailed discussion of the CNS pathogenesis of COVID-19. Authors conclude that the…[Read more]
