H3.3-G34W in giant cell tumor of bone functionally aligns with the exon choice repressor hnRNPA1L2.

RNA processing is an essential post-transcriptional phenomenon that provides the necessary complexity of transcript diversity prior to translation. Aberrations in this process could contribute to tumourigenesis, and we have previously reported increased splicing alterations in giant cell tumor of bone (GCTB), which carries mutations in the histone variant H3.3 encoding glycine 34 substituted for tryptophan (H3.

Anti-obesity effect of butyrate links to modulation of gut microbiome and epigenetic regulation of muscular circadian clock.

The role of the muscle circadian clock in regulating oxidative metabolism exerts a significant influence on whole-body energy metabolism; however, research on the connection between the muscle circadian clock and obesity is limited. Moreover, there is a lack of studies demonstrating the regulatory effects of dietary butyrate on muscle circadian clock and the resulting antiobesity effects. This study aimed to investigate the impacts of dietary butyrate on metabolic and microbiome alterations and muscle circadian clock in a diet-induced obesity model.

Clarifying the carbon balance recovery time after clear-cutting.

Clear-cutting of forest is causing large emissions of carbon dioxide immediately after the clear-cutting and an important question is how fast the forest can achieve carbon balance (CB) again and how long time it takes until the initial losses are compensated for (CCP). This question is particularly important for the discussion on how to use forests most efficiently in the climate change mitigation work considering the short remaining time frame there is in order to achieve the targets according to the Paris agreement. Knowledge of how net ecosystem exchange (NEE) varies over time is also important for determination of time for optimal carbon sequestration (OCS).

Joint optimization of land carbon uptake and albedo can help achieve moderate instantaneous and long-term cooling effects.

Both carbon dioxide uptake and albedo of the land surface affect global climate. However, climate change mitigation by increasing carbon uptake can cause a warming trade-off by decreasing albedo, with most research focusing on afforestation and its interaction with snow. Here, we present carbon uptake and albedo observations from 176 globally distributed flux stations.
