The rapid development of electric vehicles, unmanned aerial vehicles, and wearable electronic devices has led to great interest in research related to the synthesis of graphene with a high specific surface area for energy applications. However, the problem of graphene synthesis scalability, as well as the lengthy duration and high energy intensity of the activation processes of carbon materials, are significant disadvantages. In this study, a novel reactor was developed for the green, simple, and scalable electrochemical synthesis of graphene oxide with a low oxygen content of 14.

  • * Hepatitis A showed increasing prevalence with age, while hepatitis E and B were detected at rates of 4.1% and 4.6%, respectively, with no cases of HBV in those under 30, highlighting a successful vaccination program.
  • * The study found that while HBV strains were local and date back centuries, hepatitis C strains were introduced from other regions in the late 20th century, indicating a need for better screening and care for viral hepatitis in these populations.

A spore and pollen research was performed for the first time to study the contents of the gastrointestinal tracts (GITs) and sediments containing frozen mummies of the fossil Don hare from the Upper Pleistocene ice complex of the Verkhoyansk district of Yakutia. Radiocarbon dating (C) revealed that the hares lived during the Karginian Interstadial of the Late Pleistocene, 32.5 thousand years ago (calibrated date).

The problem of finding various discrete breathers (DBs) in the β-Fermi-Pasta-Ulam-Tsingou simple cubic lattice is addressed. DBs are obtained by imposing localizing functions on delocalized nonlinear vibrational modes (DNVMs) having frequencies above the phonon spectrum of the lattice. Among 27 DNVMs with the wave vector at the boundary of the first Brillouin zone there are three satisfying this condition.

Ancient environmental samples, including permafrost soils and frozen animal remains, represent an archive with microbial communities that have barely been explored. This yet unexplored microbial world is a genetic resource that may provide us with new evolutionary insights into recent genomic changes, as well as novel metabolic pathways and chemistry. Here, we describe Actinomycetota Micromonospora, Oerskovia, Saccharopolyspora, Sanguibacter and Streptomyces species were successfully revived and their genome sequences resolved.

Laboratory of Veterinary Embryology and Biotechnology (VETEMBIO), College of Veterinary Medicine, Chungbuk National University, Cheongju, 28644, Republic of Korea; School of Veterinary Biosecurity and Protection, Chungbuk National University, Cheongju, 28644, Republic of Korea. Electronic address:

Granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF), a pleiotropic cytokine, is secreted by the reproductive tract. Furthermore, our previous study indicated that human recombinant G-CSF (hrG-CSF) supplementation during porcine oocyte in vitro maturation (IVM) or during embryo in vitro culture (IVC) improved their quality and development potential when using cumulus-oocyte complexes (COCs) with more than three cumulus cell layers (CCL >3). Thus, in this study, we investigate the optimal conditions of hrG-CSF supplementation throughout the in vitro production (IVP: IVM + IVC) system to improve the embryo production efficiency of "poor-quality (CCL ≤3)" oocytes.

Introduction: Although domestic pigs and wild boars are the main reservoir of zoonotic hepatitis E virus (HEV) genotypes in temperate countries, the presence of antibodies to HEV (anti-HEV) in the indigenous population of circumpolar territories, i.e. outside the habitat of wild and domestic pigs, indicates the presence of an alternative reservoir of the virus.

Epigenetics of the far northern Yakutian population.

Clin Epigenetics

December 2023

Institute of Information Technologies, Mathematics and Mechanics, Lobachevsky State University, Nizhny Novgorod, 603022, Russia.

Background: Yakuts are one of the indigenous populations of the subarctic and arctic territories of Siberia characterized by a continental subarctic climate with severe winters, with the regular January average temperature in the regional capital city of Yakutsk dipping below - 40 °C. The epigenetic mechanisms of adaptation to such ecologies and environments and, in particular, epigenetic age acceleration in the local population have not been studied before.

Results: This work reports the first epigenetic study of the Yakutian population using whole-blood DNA methylation data, supplemented with the comparison to the residents of Central Russia.

Article Synopsis
  • The study investigates the properties of vanadium oxide (VO) films created using plasma-enhanced atomic layer deposition for potential use in memristors on p-Si and fluorinated graphene substrates.
  • Samples of VO films were produced with varying thicknesses (1.0-10.0 nm), with surface analysis revealing initial island growth patterns and unique phase characteristics evident in Raman spectra for thicker films.
  • Memristive behavior was observed in films with thicknesses between 1.0-3.6 nm, showcasing a significant ON/OFF ratio, while thicker films (over 5.0 nm) showed reduced memristive switching abilities.

Propagation of transgenic animals by germline transmission using assisted reproductive technologies such as fertilization (IVF) is the most efficient way to produce transgenic colonies for biomedical research. The objective of this study was to generate transgenic puppies from a founder dog expressing the mutated human amyloid precursor protein (mhAPP) gene. Experiment I assessed the characteristics of the semen prepared by freshly diluted, swim-up, and Percoll gradient methods using a computer-assisted semen analyzer (CASA).

Article Synopsis
  • Methane-cycling is increasingly important in high-latitude ecosystems as global warming releases more organic carbon from permafrost, leading to the study of 387 samples from regions like Siberia, Alaska, and Patagonia.
  • The research integrated physicochemical, climatic, and geographic data with microbial genetic sequences to analyze the structure of methane-related microbial communities, showing that pH significantly influences community composition.
  • Key bioindicator taxa associated with different ecological conditions were identified, such as Methanoregula as generalist methanogens and specific methanotrophs like Methylocystis and Methylobacter, highlighting their role in understanding methane cycling and its impact on greenhouse gas emissions under climate change.

The results of a comprehensive study of the patterns of structural and functional changes in bone tissue samples after combined (ozone + radiation) sterilization are presented. The study used a different approach to the sterilization process with selective ozone or radiation exposure and an integral, combined one, based on a combined ozone-oxygen treatment of bone samples at the first stage and radiation at the second. The methods of IR spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy with a prefix for elemental analysis, atomic force microscopy, and mechanical analysis with determination of elastic-plastic properties (Vickers microhardness index) were used in the work.

Thyroid hormones play a crucial role in regulating normal development, growth, and metabolic function. However, the controversy surrounding seasonal changes in free triiodothyronine (FT3) levels remains unresolved. Therefore, the aim of this study was to conduct a systematic review and meta-analysis of variations in FT3 levels in relation to seasonal air temperatures in the context of current knowledge about its role in nonshivering thermogenesis.
