Ocean warming and acidification alter calcification and innate immune system gene expression in juvenile American lobsters, Homarus americanus.

Comp Biochem Physiol Part D Genomics Proteomics

December 2024

School for the Environment, University of Massachusetts Boston, Boston, MA 02125, USA; Presidents Office, Ursinus College, Collegeville, PA 19426, USA.

Article Synopsis
  • The Gulf of Maine is facing severe ocean warming and acidification, impacting the American lobster, with limited research on how these stressors interact specifically on gene expression.
  • Two aquarium experiments were conducted that simulated future ocean conditions to assess the effects of these stressors on juvenile lobsters' gene expression, revealing complex responses in genes related to calcification and immune function.
  • Findings indicate that elevated temperatures significantly affect gene expression, potentially leading to impaired normal development and increased vulnerability to disease due to these combined stressors.

Regulation of monocyte apoptosis and DNA extrusion in monocyte extracellular traps by PSGL-1: Relevance in systemic lupus erythematosus.

Transl Res

Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a heterogeneous autoimmune disease characterized by severe organ damage and lacking curative treatment. While various immune cell types, especially dysfunctional B and T cells and neutrophils, have been related with disease pathogenesis, limited research has focused on the role of monocytes in SLE. Increased DNA extracellular traps, apoptosis and necrosis have been related to lupus pathogenesis.

Background: Early diagnosis and treatment of Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and Systemic sclerosis (SSc) present significant challenges for clinicians. Although various studies have observed changes in serum levels of selectins between healthy donors and patients with autoimmune diseases, including SLE and SSc, their potential as biomarkers has not been thoroughly explored. We aimed to investigate serum profiles of PSGL-1 (sPSGL-1), ADAM8 (sADAM8) and P-, E- and L-selectins (sP-, sE- and sL-selectins) in defined SLE and SSc patient cohorts to identify disease-associated molecular patterns.

Variations in threshold values for border zone and dense scar produce significant changes in scar parameters obtained by ADAS-3D.

Electronic address:

Background: ADAS-3D software elaborates cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) images to obtain a quantitative evaluation of dense scar and border zone (BZ), including BZ channels, which can be useful for ventricular tachycardia ablation and risk stratification. However, most prior reports with ADAS-3D used flexible thresholds (60% ± 5% and 40% ± 5% of maximum pixel signal intensity) to define dense scar and BZ. The impact of such variations of the threshold values on the measurements obtained with ADAS-3D is unknown.

Background: Higher education was gravely affected by the pandemic which caused academic occupational disruptions and affected students. Challenges in successful engagement in occupations influence the health and well-being of the individual. Consequently, it is vital for occupational therapist (OT) educators to be informed on how to manage academic occupational disruptions to minimize its occurrence, mitigate its impact, and support students' academic occupations.
