The end of the “time of the streets”: temporality in the life course of a Russian ex-gangster by Stephenson, Svetlana, Safin, Rustem

“…We address the different times in Tsigan’s life – his childhood, youth and adulthood, his time on the streets, his decision to leave the gang and his reflexions and memories of his past as reconstructed through the narratives presented at two different points of his biography. …”

Random walk models in the life sciences: including births, deaths and local interactions by Plank, M, Simpson, M, Baker, R

Life is uncertain: inherent variability exhibited by organisms, and at higher levels of biological organization by Bull, JW

“…Important practical implications arise if organisms can indeed be defined by an association with specific classes of inherent uncertainty: not least that isolating those signatures then provides a potential means for detecting life, for considering the forms that life could theoretically take, and for exploring the wider limits to how life might become distributed. …”

Proterozoic microfossils continue to provide new insights into the rise of complex eukaryotic life by Anderson, RP, Mughal, S, Wedlake, GO

Visualising human life in volumetric cities: city digital twins and other disasters by Rose, G

Toward a crystal-clear view of the viral RNA sensing and response by RIG-I-like receptors by Luo, Dahai

“…The RIG-I-like receptors (RLRs)—RIG-I, MDA5, and LGP2—detect intracellular pathogenic RNA and elicit an antiviral immune response during viral infection. …”

Persistent elevation of intrathecal pro-inflammatory cytokines leads to multiple sclerosis-like cortical demyelination and neurodegeneration by James, Rachel E., Schalks, Renee, Browne, Eleanor, Eleftheriadou, Ioanna, Munoz, Carmen Picon, Mazarakis, Nicholas D., Reynolds, Richard

“…Here we tested the hypothesis that persistent production of these cytokines in the meningeal compartment and diffusion into underlying GM can drive chronic MS-like GM pathology. Lentiviral transfer vectors were injected into the sagittal sulcus of DA rats to deliver continuous expression of TNF + IFNγ transgenes in the meninges and the resulting neuropathology analysed after 1 and 2 months. …”

Functional comparison of human Adenomatous Polyposis Coli (APC) and APC-like in targeting beta-catenin for degradation by Schneikert, Jean, Chandra, Shree Harsha Vijaya, Ruppert, Jan Gustav, Ray, Suparna, Wenzel, Eva Maria, Behrens, Jürgen

“…Using RNA interference and domain swapping experiments, we show that APCL benefits from the 15R of truncated APC to target β-catenin for degradation, in a process likely involving heterodimerization of the two partners. …”

Local rainfall is more likely than distant thunderstorms to affect movement behaviour in Northern Kenyan elephants by Mulder, T, Mortimer, B, Ferwerda, J, Vollrath, F

“…We conclude that climate change makes a strong case for studying elephant behaviours in response to environmental cues during the day and night, especially in dry-land study sites like Northern Kenya.…”

GOLDEN2-like1 is sufficient but not necessary for chloroplast biogenesis in mesophyll cells of C4 grasses by Lambret-Frotte, J, Smith, G, Langdale, J

“…In land plants, chloroplast biogenesis is regulated by a family of transcription factors named GOLDEN2-like (GLK). In C4 grasses, it has been hypothesized that genome duplication events led to the sub-functionalization of GLK paralogs (GLK1 and GLK2) to control chloroplast biogenesis in two distinct cell types: mesophyll and bundle sheath cells. …”
