Global warming has profound impact on growth and development, and plants constantly adjust their internal circadian clock to cope with external environment. However, how clock-associated genes fine-tune thermoresponsive growth in plants is little understood. We found that loss-of-function mutation of REVEILLE5 (RVE5) reduces the expression of circadian gene EARLY FLOWERING 4 (ELF4) in Arabidopsis, and confers accelerated hypocotyl growth under warm-temperature conditions. Both RVE5 and CIRCADIAN CLOCK ASSOCIATED 1 (CCA1) accumulate at warm temperatures and bind to the same EE cis-element presented on ELF4 promoter, but the transcriptional repression activity of RVE5 is weaker than that of CCA1. The binding of CCA1 to ELF4 promoter is enhanced in the rve5-2 mutant at warm temperatures, and overexpression of ELF4 in the rve5-2 mutant background suppresses the rve5-2 mutant phenotype at warm temperatures. Therefore, the transcriptional repressor RVE5 finetunes ELF4 expression via competing at a cis-element with the stronger transcriptional repressor CCA1 at warm temperatures. Such a competition-attenuation mechanism provides a balancing system for modulating the level of ELF4 and thermoresponsive hypocotyl growth under warm-temperature conditions.

: A 65-year-old male veteran presented to the Veterans Affairs Boston Healthcare System (VABHS) emergency department with progressive fatigue, dyspnea on exertion, lightheadedness, and falls over the last month. New bilateral lower extremity numbness up to his knees developed in the week prior to admission and prompted him to seek care. Additional history included 2 episodes of transient loss of consciousness resulting in falls and a week of diarrhea, which had resolved.

Symmetrical bis(hydrazone)-based ligands, Hdar(bhz) (), Hdar(fah) (), Hdar(nah) (), and Hdar(inh) () obtained from 4,6-diacetylresorcinol (Hdar) and different hydrazides [benzoylhydrazide (Hbhz), isonicotinoylhydrazide (Hinh), nicotinoylhydrazide (Hnah), and 2-furoylhydrazide (Hfah)], were used to prepare potassium salts of binuclear -[VO] complexes, {K(HO)}[(VO)dar(bhz)] (), {K(HO)}[(VO)dar(fah)] (), {K(HO)}[(VO)dar(nah)] (), and {K(HO)}[(VO)dar(inh)] (), and binuclear [VO] complexes, [{VO(MeOH)}dar(bhz)] (), [{VO(MeOH)}dar(fah)] (), [{VO(MeOH)}dar(nah)] (), and [{VO(MeOH)}dar(inh)] (). In the presence of warm MeOH/DMSO (4:1), changed to {K(HO)}[(VO)Hdar(nah)]DMSO (·DMSO). Single crystal XRD studies of and confirm a binuclear structure along with a distorted square pyramidal geometry of each vanadium center where bis{ONO(2-)} ligands coordinate through phenolate-O, azomethine-N, and enolate-O atoms of each unit.

The global burden of dengue disease is escalating under the influence of climate change, with India contributing a third of the total. The non-linearity and regional heterogeneity inherent in the climate-dengue relationship and the lack of consistent data makes it difficult to make useful predictions for effective disease prevention. The current study investigates these non-linear climate-dengue links in Pune, a dengue hotspot region in India with a monsoonal climate and presents a model framework for predicting both the near-term and future dengue mortalities.

Background: The Los Angeles 2028 Olympics will mark the debut of squash, a high-intensity sport characterized by repeated efforts, posing potential thermoregulatory challenges. The demanding nature of squash results in substantial metabolic heat production, with consequential heat strain exacerbated by the indoor environment of squash courts, where low to moderate evaporative potential limits effective cooling. Players often experience increased body-heat storage and thermal strain, with muscle cramps (an early warning sign of more severe heat-related illnesses) commonly observed during tournaments.

Human skin, as a sophisticated sensory organ, is able to detect subtle changes in ambient temperature. This thermosensory capability is primarily mediated by temperature-sensitive TRP channels expressed in both sensory neurons and keratinocytes. Among these, TRPV3, which responds to warm temperatures and plays a crucial role in various skin functions, is particularly notable.
