Ligand-specific factors influencing GLP-1 receptor post-endocytic trafficking and degradation in pancreatic beta cells by Fang, Zijian, Chen, Shiqian, Manchanda, Yusman, Bitsi, Stavroula, Pickford, Philip, David, Alessia, Shchepinova, Maria M., Corrêa, Ivan R., Jr., Hodson, David J., Broichhagen, Johannes, Tate, Edward W., Reimann, Frank, Salem, Victoria, Rutter, Guy A., Tan, Tricia, Bloom, Stephen R., Tomas, Alejandra, Jones, Ben

“…The T149M GLP-1R variant shows reduced signalling and internalisation responses, which is likely to be due to disruption of the cytoplasmic region that couples to intracellular effectors. These observations provide insights into how ligand- and genotype-specific factors can influence GLP-1R trafficking.…”

Low biodegradability of dissolved organic matter from Southeast Asian peat-draining rivers by Nichols, Robert S., Martin, Patrick

“…Here, we assess the potential for using phenol oxidase assays as a proxy for tDOC biodegradation across peat-draining rivers and the coastal waters of Sarawak, Borneo, and report experimental measurements of microbial tDOC remineralization rates from this region. We first show that phenol oxidase assays in aquatic samples are problematic because of the rapid, pH-dependent autoxidation of the assay substrate. …”

Global void ratio of municipal solid waste for compression indices estimation by Pi, Xiaoqing, Fei, Xunchang, Wang, Yao, Sun, Xinlei, Guo, Yuliang

“…Although the correlations between MSW properties and compression parameters have been established, they either have low accuracy and small datasets or are only limited to a few specific landfills in a region. In this study, a new method using the initial global void ratio (e0*) of MSW to estimate the compression indices is developed based on a comprehensive MSW dataset. …”

Temperature drift characteristics analysis of GMM-FBG current sensor based on finite-element multi-physics simulations by Li, Ying, Sun, Weifeng, Zhang, Weichao

“…Even though temperature elevation suppresses GMM magnetization and thereby reduces the slopes of stress–strain curves, the steering magnetization of magnetic domains in the GMM rod tends to saturation without appreciable thermal inhibition in the high-stress region of large current excitation, while the magnetostrictive strain is still abated by the reduction in magnetic flux density caused by the thermal expansion of GMM rods. …”

Long-wave-instability-induced pattern formation in an evaporating sessile or pendent liquid layer by Wei, Tao, Duan, Fei

“…In the two-dimensional simulation, we observe well-defined capillary ridges on both sides of the valley under positive gravity and main and secondary droplets under negative gravity, while a ridge can be trapped in a large-scale drained region in both cases. Neglecting the other non-Boussinesq effects, buoyancy does not have a significant influence on interfacial evolution and rupture time but makes contributions to the evaporation-driven convection and heat transfer. …”

Conformational landscape of the epidermal growth factor receptor kinase reveals a mutant specific allosteric pocket by Kannan, Srinivasaraghavan, Venkatachalam, Gireedhar, Lim, Hong Hwa, Surana, Uttam, Verma, Chandra

“…The screening of the human structural kinome revealed at least 12 other oncogenic kinases which carry at least one activating mutant in this disorder-prone region and hence would be amenable to allosteric inhibition by molecules such as EAI045. …”

Hypoxia-inducible factor-2 alpha up-regulates CD70 under hypoxia and enhances anchorage-independent growth and aggressiveness in cancer cells by Kitajima, Shojiro, Lee, Kian Leong, Fujioka, Masaki, Sun, Wendi, You, Jia, Chia, Grace Sushin, Wanibuchi, Hideki, Tomita, Shuhei, Araki, Marito, Kato, Hiroyuki, Poellinger, Lorenz

“…Most strikingly, we identified the emergence of CD70-expressing cells derived from CD70-negative cell lines upon prolonged hypoxia exposure or DNMT1 inhibition, both of which significantly reduced CpG-nucleotide methylations within CD70 promoter region. Interestingly, DNMT1 expression was decreased under hypoxia, which was rescued by HIF-2α knockdown. …”
