Neuronal structural plasticity gives the adult brain the capacity to adapt to internal or external factors by structural and molecular changes. These plastic processes seem to be mediated, among others, by the action of the neurotransmitter serotonin through specific receptors (5-HTRs). Previous studies have shown that the maturation of granule cells in the hippocampus is mediated by 5-HT3.

TROPOMI XCH provided insights into the distribution across the entire Iberian Peninsula, highlighting the high XCH mixing ratios in the two main valleys and the southern sub-plateau, characterized by agricultural and livestock activities. The marine-continental region in the southwestern Iberian Peninsula was identified as a major CH hot spot.

RCs are specialized virus-induced subnuclear microenvironments where not only viral genome replication and expression are orchestrated but also host proteins that restrict viral replication are co-opted and subverted. The protein composition of these RCs remains largely unexplored.

- Researchers have explored how chiral liquid crystal droplets can form self-organizing vortex clusters similar to Abrikosov lattices found in other materials.
- The study uses a Ginzburg-Landau-like equation to explain the interaction dynamics that lead to these clusters, revealing a balance between repulsive forces and confinement within the droplets.
- Findings contribute to a deeper theoretical understanding of vortex organization in liquid crystals and suggest new ways to manipulate these topological defects for potential applications.
Article Synopsis
- - Numerous studies highlight that climate change is affecting pollen levels from various plant species, and this study aims to investigate these changes in Huelva, Spain, over nearly three decades (1993-2022).
- - Researchers analyzed the main factors influencing pollen seasons using meteorological data such as temperature and precipitation, finding significant trends in pollen concentration for certain woody plants, with some linked to previous temperature patterns.
- - The study concludes that while not all variables showed significant changes, certain herbaceous plants are experiencing an earlier end to their pollen season, pointing to potential future impacts on biodiversity in the Mediterranean region.
