Quiescence modulates age-related changes in the functional capacity of highly proliferative canine lung mesenchymal stromal cell populations

Nakesha Agyapong, Leslie Dominguez-Ortega, Brian Macdonough, Patrick Mulluso, Sagar M. Patel, Briti Prajapati, Brian Saville, Andrew Shapiro, Ethan Trim, Kara Battaglia, J. Herrera, Gianna Garifo-MacPartland, Dianne Newcombe, Latoya Okundaye, Heather Paglia, Julia A. Paxson

This study shows that age-related decline in canine lung mesenchymal stromal cell proliferation is linked to quiescence rather than senescence, with minimal transcriptomic changes.

Effect of habitat degradation on hantavirus infection among introduced and endemic small mammals of Madagascar

J. A. Dubrulle, K. Kauffman, V. Soarimalala, T. Randriamoria, S. M. Goodman, J. Herrera, C. L. Nunn, P. Tortosa

The paper investigates how habitat degradation affects hantavirus infection in small mammals in Madagascar, finding higher prevalence in agricultural areas due to increased Rattus rattus abundance and smaller body size.

TAD Evolutionary and functional characterization reveals diversity in mammalian TAD boundary properties and function

M. Okhovat, J. VanCampen, A. C. Lima, K. Nevonen, C. E. Layman, S. Ward, J. Herrera, A. M. Stendahl, R. Yang, L. Harshman, W. Li, R. R. Sheng, Y. Mao, L. Fedorov, B. Ndjamen, , L. Carbone

The paper analyzes TAD boundaries across species to show evolutionary conservation and functional significance, finding ultraconserved boundaries have stronger insulation and CTCF binding.

Circadian clock genes Bmal1 and Per2 in the nucleus accumbens are negative regulators of alcohol-drinking behavior in mice.

J. Herrera, Margo Button, P. Doherty-Haigh, C. Goldfarb, Nour Quteishat, Shimon Amir, Konrad Schoettner

This study shows that Bmal1 and Per2 in the nucleus accumbens reduce alcohol consumption in male mice, but not in females, with Bmal1's effect being specific to the nucleus accumbens in females.
