Strain-tuning of nematicity and superconductivity in single crystals of FeSe by Ghini, M, Bristow, M, Prentice, JCA, Sutherland, S, Sanna, S, Haghighirad, AA, Coldea, AI

“…Close to the critical temperature, all resistivity curves at constant strain cross in a single point, indicating a universal critical exponent linked to a strain-induced phase transition. Our results indicate that the superconducting state is enhanced under compressive strain and suppressed under tensile strain, in agreement with the trends observed in FeSe thin films and overdoped pnictides, whereas the nematic phase seems to be affected in the opposite way by the uniaxial strain. …”

Characterising the functional role of GATA1short isoform in normal and malignant haematopoiesis by Cruz Hernandez, D

“…Both TAM and ML-DS are driven by mutations in the gene encoding the X-linked erythroid-megakaryocyte transcription factor GATA1 that result in truncation of 83 N-terminal amino acids to produce GATA1short (GATA1s). …”

Ligand substitutions between ruthenium–cymene compounds can control protein versus DNA targeting and anticancer activity by Davey, Curt Alexander, Adhireksan, Zenita, Davey, Gabriela E., Campomanes, Pablo, Groessl, Michael, Clavel, Catherine M., Yu, Haojie, Nazarov, Alexey A., Yeo, Charmian Hui Fang, Ang, Wee Han, Dröge, Peter, Rothlisberger, Ursula, Dyson, Paul J.

“…Here we study two prototypical ruthenium-arene agents—the cytotoxic antiprimary tumour compound [(η6-p-cymene)Ru(ethylene-diamine)Cl]PF6 and the relatively non-cytotoxic antimetastasis compound [(η6-p-cymene)Ru(1,3,5-triaza-7-phosphaadamantane)Cl2]—and discover that the former targets the DNA of chromatin, while the latter preferentially forms adducts on the histone proteins. …”

Adherence to the eatwell guide and population and planetary health: a rank prize forum report by Shannon, OM, Townsend, O, Malcolmson, FC, Matu, J, Griffiths, A, Jennings, A, Ward, N, Papier, K, Best, N, French, C, Scheelbeek, P, Kim, C, Ochieng, B, Jay, F, Shepherd, K, Corfe, B, Fairley, A, McEnvoy, CT, Minihane, A-M, Sim, YJ, Stevenson, E, Gregory, S

“…This report summarises a Forum conducted in June 2023 to explore the current state of the knowledge around the Eatwell Guide, which is the UK Government’s healthy eating tool, in relation to population and planetary health. The 1.5-day Forum highlighted the limited, albeit promising evidence linking higher adherence to the Eatwell Guide with favourable health outcomes, including reduced overall mortality risk, lower abdominal obesity in postmenopausal women, and improved cardiometabolic health markers. …”
