Thyroid Hormone Action by Genomic and Nongenomic Molecular Mechanisms.

The thyroid hormones, thyroxine (T4) and triiodothyronine (T3), are pivotal in regulating various physiological processes including growth, development, and metabolism. The biological actions of thyroid hormones are primarily initiated by binding to nuclear thyroid hormone receptors (TRs). These receptors, belonging to the superfamily of nuclear receptors, act as ligand-dependent transcription factors.

Environmental Health Assessment by Local Environmental Justice Experts for Evidence-based Decision-making in an Agricultural Community of Northern California.

Environmental justice research driven by academics and policymakers often overlooks the valuable insights and leadership of the communities most impacted by environmental hazards. When institution-led research approaches are employed, inadequate community ownership and limited institutional accountability hinder the effectiveness of environmental public health interventions. In contrast, a community-owned and -managed approach to environmental justice research can guide community members in developing evidence-based interventions.

Draft genome sequence of sp. strain NSM2, isolated from a wastewater treatment plant.

Here, we report the draft genome sequence of sp. NSM2, isolated from a wastewater treatment plant. This strain was enriched using methane as the sole carbon source.
