A 39-year-old man presented with angina and a high-sensitivity troponin-T of 61 ng/L. Initial workup revealed the presence of left ventricular hypertrophy, an anomalous left main coronary artery, and no coronary atherosclerosis. This case demonstrates how multimodality imaging was used to elucidate the primary cause of the patient's angina.

The accumulation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) is a common feature of tauopathies, defined by Tau accumulations in neurons and glia. High ROS in neurons causes lipid production and the export of toxic peroxidated lipids (LPOs). Glia uptake these LPOs and incorporate them into lipid droplets (LDs) for storage and catabolism.

Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) of Alzheimer's disease (AD) have identified a plethora of risk loci. However, the disease variants/genes and the underlying mechanisms remain largely unknown. For a strong AD-associated locus near (), we tied an AD protective allele to a role of neuronal CLU in promoting neuron excitability through lipid-mediated neuron-glia communication.

Coral reefs are highly important ecosystems providing habitat for biodiverse marine life and numerous benefits for humans. However they face immense risks from climate change. To date, Representative Concentration Pathway (RCP) climate models have aided global discussions on possible policy responses to adapt to change, but tailored climate projections at a useful scale for environmental managers are often prohibitively expensive to produce.

Article Synopsis
  • * Through analysis of fibroblasts and a fruit fly model, we found that these variants resulted in decreased lipid droplet formation and impaired gene expression linked to SREBP, indicating disrupted pathway function.
  • * Our findings suggest that SREBF2 variants hinder the cleavage of S1P targets, causing disease symptoms by negatively affecting SREBP1 and SREBP2 activity.
