#CrohnsDisease is associated with NOD2 mutations, but what's NOD2's role in the #intestine? Mckenna Eklund & @edanfoley.bsky.social show that #NOD2 interacts with #estrogen to regulate intestinal homeostasis, perhaps explaining the sex-specific pathogenesis of CD @plosbiology.org 🧪 plos.io/4ojTEuZ
#Microbiology research requires a stable, unified #taxonomy of bacterial strains. In this Essay, Federica Palma, @sylvainbrisse.bsky.social and co-authors discuss the LIN system, resolving communication issues for precise strain definitions and epidemiological tracking. 🧪 #AcademicSky

What sets the strikingly similar #mutation rates seen for certain animal cell types? In this Essay, @marcdemanuel.bsky.social , @mollyprz.bsky.social , @natanaels.bsky.social and Anastasia Stolyarova discuss how #selection may shape cellular mutation rate patterns🧪#AcademicSky

Analysis of #acoustic #rhythms across nearly 100 species reveals a conserved slow tempo centered around 2.7 Hz, within the delta range, suggesting a constraint rooted in conserved #neural mechanisms of #auditory perception @plosbiology.org 🧪 plos.io/4ejLRcl

What factors explain energy usage patterns in the #brain? This study shows that the distribution of the key #metabolic marker cytochrome oxidase in the primate #visual system is not random but linked to functional responses (suggesting that resources match demand) @plosbiology.org 🧪 plos.io/43VbmeX
Un article publié dans @plosbiology.org il y a quelques semaines propose d’élargir le cadre conceptuel utilisé pour évaluer les impacts des espèces envahissantes, en intégrant les effets aux échelles des écosystèmes et des communautés, et non plus uniquement à l’échelle des espèces.
Normally writing papers exhausts me, but working on this brought such joy. A very exciting study from Mckenna linking errant estrogen signaling with gut defects in NOD2-deficient fish.

Crohn’s disease is associated with mutations in the innate immune receptor NOD2, but the mechanisms underlying NOD2 regulation of intestinal homeostasis remain unclear. This study shows that NOD2 inte...
