Lithological controls of the Mg isotope composition of the Lena River across seasons and its impact on the annual isotope flux to the Arctic Ocean by Mavromatis, V, Porcelli, D, Andersson, PS, Korets, MA, Pokrovsky, OS

“…This number coincides with the value of summer baseflow reported in earlier works. Therefore, like in the recently studied Yenisey River basin, the Mg isotope signature of the Lena River water likely stems from a mixture of carbonate (−2.0 ≥ δ²⁶Mg ≥ −2.5 ‰) and silicate (0 ≥ δ²⁶Mg ≥ −0.2 ‰) rocks in its watershed. …”

Dysregulation of the Pdx1/Ovol2/Zeb2 axis in dedifferentiated β-cells triggers the induction of genes associated with epithelial-mesenchymal transition in diabetes by de Jesus, Daniel S., Mak, Tracy C. S., Wang, Yi-Fang, von Ohlen, Yorrick, Bai, Ying, Kane, Eva, Chabosseau, Pauline, Chahrour, Catherine M., Distaso, Walter, Salem, Victoria, Tomas, Alejandra, Stoffel, Markus, Rutter, Guy A., Latreille, Mathieu

“…We carried out loss- and gain-of-function experiments in MIN6 and EndoC-bH1 cell lines. We analysed previously published mouse andhuman T2D data sets.Results:Bulk RNA-seq revealed thatb-cell dedifferentiation is associated with the induction of genes associated with epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) in prediabetic (2-week-old) and diabetic (12-week-old) Tg7 mice. …”
