Age pigment lipofuscin causes oxidative stress, lysosomal dysfunction, and pyroptotic cell death

This study isolates authentic lipofuscin from cardiac tissue and shows it induces oxidative stress, lysosomal dysfunction, and pyroptotic cell death in fibroblasts.

Field size as a predictor of "excellence." The selection of subject fields in Germany's Excellence Initiative.

The paper examines field selection in Germany's Excellence Initiative, finding that larger fields with more professors and funding are favored, and second-phase funding largely depends on first-phase decisions.
