Conformational ensembles of the human intrinsically disordered proteome: Bridging chain compaction with function and sequence conservation

G. Tesei, A. I. Trolle, N. Jonsson, J. Betz, F. Pesce, K. E. Johansson, K. Lindorff-Larsen

The paper develops a model to predict conformational ensembles of human intrinsically disordered regions (IDRs) from sequence, showing correlations between chain compaction, function, localization, and sequence conservation across orthologs.

Radioactive Contamination in Feral Dogs in the Chernobyl Exclusion Zone: Population Body-Burden Survey and Implications for Human Radiation Exposure

J. Hecla, E. Kambarian, R. Tubbs, C. McKinley, A. J. Berliner, K. Russell, G. Spatola, J. Chertok, W. Braun, N. Hank, C. Marquette, J. Betz, T. Paik, M. Chenery, A. Cagan, , T. Mousseau

The paper surveys radioactive contamination in feral dogs near Chernobyl, finding internal 137Cs levels up to 30,000 Bq/kg and external contamination in 21/288 animals, with implications for human exposure.
