Neuroinflammation can be directly linked to the imbalance in the Kynurenine-tryptophan Pathway (KP) metabolism. Under inflammatory circumstances, the KP is activated, resulting in a rise in the KP metabolite L-kynurenine (KYN) in the peripheral and central nervous systems (CNS). Increased amounts of KYN in the brain may lead to neurotoxic KYN metabolites, mostly due to breakdown by Kynurenine-3-monooxygenase (KMO).

  • - The study investigated how varying levels of dietary protein during late pregnancy (100 days post-conception to parturition) affect the performance of Black Bengal does and their kids, using three protein diets (high, medium, low) for 50 days.
  • - Results showed that does fed a high-protein diet gained more weight, produced more milk, and had longer lactation periods compared to those on lower protein diets, while low-protein does experienced longer post-partum anestrus.
  • - Kids from high-protein-fed does had higher weaning weights and growth rates, with male kids generally showing better performance than females; however, the overall birth weight did not significantly differ across groups.

New results are presented on a high-statistics measurement of Collins and Sivers asymmetries of charged hadrons produced in deep inelastic scattering of muons on a transversely polarized ^{6}LiD target. The data were taken in 2022 with the COMPASS spectrometer using the 160 GeV muon beam at CERN, statistically balancing the existing data on transversely polarized proton targets. The first results from about two-thirds of the new data have total uncertainties smaller by up to a factor of three compared to the previous deuteron measurements.

The COMPASS Collaboration performed measurements of the Drell-Yan process in 2015 and 2018 using a 190  GeV/c π^{-} beam impinging on a transversely polarized ammonia target. Combining the data of both years, we present final results on the amplitudes of five azimuthal modulations, which correspond to transverse-spin-dependent azimuthal asymmetries (TSAs) in the dimuon production cross section. Three of them probe the nucleon leading-twist Sivers, transversity, and pretzelosity transverse-momentum dependent (TMD) parton distribution functions (PDFs).

The phenotype of β-thalassemia varies widely. The primary determinant is the type of beta-globin gene mutation; however, there are secondary and tertiary modifiers also as associated alpha mutations, polymorphisms, as well as coinheritance of mutations affecting other related systems. Co-inheritance of alpha thalassemia mutations is known to ameliorate the severity of HbE-β thalassemia.

  • Low estrogen levels are thought to suppress uterine endometrial carcinoma, yet most cases arise after menopause, prompting a focus on declining androgen levels as a potential factor in its progression.
  • The study examines the role of androgen and its receptor (AR) by analyzing clinical data, culturing cancer cell lines, and using murine models, showing that higher androgen receptor expression and dihydrotestosterone (DHT) levels correlate with lower disease-free survival.
  • DHT reduces cancer cell proliferation and suppresses FOXP4 expression, suggesting that the androgen/AR system can inhibit malignant behavior in endometrial carcinoma, pointing to FOXP4 as a key target for future clinical strategies.

K^{+}K^{-} pairs may be produced in photonuclear collisions, either from the decays of photoproduced ϕ(1020) mesons or directly as nonresonant K^{+}K^{-} pairs. Measurements of K^{+}K^{-} photoproduction probe the couplings between the ϕ(1020) and charged kaons with photons and nuclear targets. The kaon-proton scattering occurs at energies far above those available elsewhere.

Article Synopsis
  • - This Letter discusses the measurement of ridge yields from charged hadron angular correlations in proton-proton collisions at a high energy of 13 TeV, specifically within certain pseudorapidity and transverse momentum ranges.
  • - The research extends ridge yield measurements to low charged-particle multiplicity regions, where typically a strong interacting medium is not expected to form during collisions.
  • - Findings indicate that ridge yields in pp collisions are significantly higher than those observed in e^{+}e^{-} collisions, suggesting that processes in e^{+}e^{-} annihilations do not significantly influence long-range correlations in proton-proton interactions.

  • The ALICE detector measured the cross section for incoherent photonuclear production of J/ψ vector mesons, focusing on the Mandelstam |t| variable, during ultraperipheral collisions of Pb nuclei at a very high energy of 5.02 TeV.
  • The measurement was conducted within a rapidity interval of |y|<0.8 and covers a specific range of Bjorken-x values.
  • Analysis showed that models without quantum fluctuations in the gluon density predicted a much steeper |t|-dependence than observed, but including these fluctuations improved the models' alignment with the data.

Polycystic ovary syndrome or PCOS is an endocrine disorder in women of reproductive age. It is a diversified multi factorial disorder and diagnosis is very complicated because of its overlapping symptoms some of which are irregular menstrual cycle, acne in face, excess level of androgen (AE), insulin resistance, obesity, cardiovascular disease, mood disorder and type 2 diabetes (T2DM). PCOS may be caused by hormonal imbalance, genetic and epigenetic vulnerability, hypothalamic and ovarian troubles.

We study collective dynamics of networks of mutually coupled identical Lorenz oscillators near a subcritical Hopf bifurcation. Such systems exhibit induced multistable behavior with interesting spatiotemporal dynamics including synchronization, desynchronization, and chimera states. For analysis, we first consider a ring topology with nearest-neighbor coupling and find that the system may exhibit intermittent behavior due to the complex basin structures and dynamical frustration, where temporal dynamics of the oscillators in the ensemble switches between different attractors.

In response to acute infection, naive CD4+ T cells primarily differentiate into T helper 1 (Th1) or T follicular helper (Tfh) cells that play critical roles in orchestrating cellular or humoral arms of immunity, respectively. However, despite the well established role of T-bet and BCL-6 in driving Th1 and Tfh cell lineage commitment, respectively, whether additional transcriptional circuits also underlie the fate bifurcation of Th1 and Tfh cell subsets is not fully understood. In this article, we study how the transcriptional regulator Bhlhe40 dictates the Th1/Tfh differentiation axis in mice.
