A spinal cord injury (SCI) disrupts the neuronal projections from the brain to the region of the spinal cord that produces walking, leading to various degrees of paralysis. Here, we aimed to identify brain regions that steer the recovery of walking after incomplete SCI and that could be targeted to augment this recovery. To uncover these regions, we constructed a space-time brain-wide atlas of transcriptionally active and spinal cord-projecting neurons underlying the recovery of walking after incomplete SCI.

- The first nuclear genome assembly and complete mitochondrial genome (mitogenome) for Hylesia metabus, a species of moth, has been presented, with the nuclear genome being one of the largest for lepidopterans at 1,271 Mb.
- The nuclear genome is organized into 31 pseudo chromosomes with a high quality BUSCO score of 99.5%, and contains a significant amount of repetitive elements, primarily located in intergenic regions.
- The assembled genomes are available on the BIPAA website and will aid future studies in population and comparative genomics.
Article Synopsis
- The study analyzes the first major beaching of holopelagic Sargassum in Senegal, emphasizing its environmental impact and economic potential.
- It identifies the dominant morphotype (S. fluitans III) and finds unique biochemical properties, such as lower arsenic but higher cadmium and mercury levels compared to other regions.
- The research suggests using the Sargassum for applications in animal feed and agriculture, while advocating for African inter-governmental collaboration to address the increasing frequency of Sargassum beaching events.
Article Synopsis
- This study examines the effectiveness of switching patients from peripheral veno-arterial ECMO (pECMO) to central ECMO (cECMO) as a treatment strategy for refractory cardiogenic shock (rCS).
- Out of 80 patients analyzed, only 38% were successfully bridged to recovery, heart transplantation, or a ventricle assist device, while the remaining 62% died during cECMO treatment.
- Complications were common, with high rates of renal issues and bleeding, and the study found that myocardial infarction significantly increased the risk of in-hospital mortality.
