Using damage functions to map heritage climatology at a global scale.

Sci Total Environ

January 2025

University College London, Central House, 14 Upper Woburn Place, London WC1H 0NN, UK. Electronic address:

This paper investigates heritage climatology through global analysis of damage functions for collections, aiming to learn about the reliability of these functions and the field itself. It addresses the growing interest in geospatial analysis of climate hazards for cultural heritage, proposing parameters that refine climate-related deterioration processes. Using global daily climate data from 1991 to 2020, the study assesses damage functions reliant on temperature and relative humidity inputs, including damage functions for paper and metals, alongside indices for humidity fluctuations and mould growth.

Di(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP) is a widespread ubiquitous phthalate environmental contaminant. The male reproductive toxicity (MRT) from exposure to DEHP and its main metabolite, mono(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (MEHP), has been well documented. Fully elucidating its toxic mechanism and discovering effective antagonists are desirable means to reduce the health risks of DEHP.

Bacterial blight of pomegranate caused by Xanthomonas axonopodis pv. punicae poses significant challenges to sustainable cultivation, necessitating eco-friendly management strategies, and this study explores the role of the phylloplane microbiome in disease suppression through metabarcoding, traditional microbiology, and antibacterial screening of microbial candidates. Here, we mapped the phylloplane microbiome of pomegranate cultivar 'Bhagwa' during bacterial blight development using metabarcoding sequencing (2443,834 reads), traditional microbiological methods (nutrient-rich and minimal media), and scanning electron microscopy.

Coordinated neuron-specific splicing events restrict nucleosome engagement of the LSD1 histone demethylase complex.

Chromatin regulatory proteins are expressed broadly and assumed to exert the same intrinsic function across cell types. Here, we report that 14 chromatin regulators undergo evolutionary-conserved neuron-specific splicing events involving microexons. Among them are two components of a histone demethylase complex: LSD1 H3K4 demethylase and the H3K4me0-reader PHF21A.

Mapping the spatial atlas of the human bone tissue integrating spatial and single-cell transcriptomics.

Nucleic Acids Res

January 2025

Bone is a multifaceted tissue requiring orchestrated interplays of diverse cells within specialized microenvironments. Although significant progress has been made in understanding cellular and molecular mechanisms of component cells of bone, revealing their spatial organization and interactions in native bone tissue microenvironment is crucial for advancing precision medicine, as they govern fundamental signaling pathways and functional dependencies among various bone cells. In this study, we present the first integrative high-resolution map of human bone and bone marrow, using spatial and single-cell transcriptomics profiling from femoral tissue.
