[Retracted] Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor β/δ induces myogenesis by modulating myostatin activity by Bonala, Sabeera, Lokireddy, Sudarsanareddy, Arigela, Harikumar, Teng, Serena, Wahli, Walter, Sharma, Mridula, McFarlane, Craig, Kambadur, Ravi

“…Classically, peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor β/δ (PPARβ/δ) function was thought to be restricted to enhancing adipocyte differentiation and development of adipose-like cells from other lineages. However, recent studies have revealed a critical role for PPARβ/δ during skeletal muscle growth and regeneration. …”

Nitrifying niche differentiation in biofilms from full-scale chloraminated drinking water distribution system by Cruz, Mercedes Cecilia, Woo, Yissue, Flemming, Hans-Curt, Wuertz, Stefan

“…In cluster HD, with more biomass, chemical reactions involving nitrite increased the MCA demand, releasing ammonia and allowing more nitrifiers to grow, like AOA and NOB. From this study, we conclude that an MCA residual gradient along the DWDS drives and shapes the microbial community assembly and should be considered when designing effective disinfection strategies.…”
