Teleyoga for Patients With Alzheimer's Disease and Chronic Musculoskeletal Pain and Their Caregivers: A Feasibility Study.

Background: Chronic musculoskeletal pain is common in patients with Alzheimer's disease (AD), and there is growing awareness that chronic pain has an impact on the progression of dementia. Yoga has shown promise in treating chronic pain. However, attending in-person yoga can be difficult for AD patients.

The practice and promise of temporal genomics for measuring evolutionary responses to global change.

Understanding the evolutionary consequences of anthropogenic change is imperative for estimating long-term species resilience. While contemporary genomic data can provide us with important insights into recent demographic histories, investigating past change using present genomic data alone has limitations. In comparison, temporal genomics studies, defined herein as those that incorporate time series genomic data, utilize museum collections and repeated field sampling to directly examine evolutionary change.

Different transmembrane domains determine the specificity and efficiency of the cleavage activity of the γ-secretase subunit presenilin.

The γ-secretase complex catalyzes the intramembrane cleavage of C99, a carboxy-terminal fragment of the amyloid precursor protein. Two paralogs of its catalytic subunit presenilin (PS1 and PS2) are expressed which are autocatalytically cleaved into an N-terminal and a C-terminal fragment during maturation of γ-secretase. In this study, we compared the efficiency and specificity of C99 cleavage by PS1- and PS2-containing γ-secretases.

Isolation-by-distance and isolation-by-oceanography in Maroon Anemonefish ().

Obtaining dispersal estimates for a species is key to understanding local adaptation and population dynamics and to implementing conservation actions. Genetic isolation-by-distance (IBD) patterns can be used for estimating dispersal, and these patterns are especially useful for marine species in which few other methods are available. In this study, we genotyped coral reef fish () at 16 microsatellite loci across eight sites across 210 km in the central Philippines to generate fine-scale estimates of dispersal.
