Divergent thinking in groups during cold-water immersion is impaired by cold stress not the cold shock response by Max Kailler Smith, Max Kailler Smith, Rebecca Weller, Rebecca Weller, Tony Duong, Tony Duong, Rebecca McClintock, Rebecca McClintock, Matthew Peterson, Nathaniel Barr, Douglas M. Jones, Timothy L. Dunn

“…To date, research shows that executive functioning is generally impaired by intense, acute stress, which implies the ability to think through potential actions to maximize survival would also be impaired by the cold shock response.MethodsTo examine whether the severity of cold shock response impairs higher-level thinking in a group, 29 active duty service members completed a group format Divergent Association Task (DAT; 4–5 per group) prior to and during a 13-min cold-water immersion (water temperature: 1.3°C, air temperature: −2.7°C).ResultsResults showed no relationship between cold shock response magnitude, indexed by peak heart rate, and DAT performance. …”

Heterochrony in orthodenticle expression is associated with ommatidial size variation between Drosophila species by Montserrat Torres-Oliva, Elisa Buchberger, Alexandra D. Buffry, Maike Kittelmann, Genoveva Guerrero, Lauren Sumner-Rooney, Pedro Gaspar, Georg C. Bullinger, Javier Figueras Jimenez, Fernando Casares, Saad Arif, Nico Posnien, Maria D. S. Nunes, Alistair P. McGregor, Isabel Almudi

“…When otd expression is driven prematurely during D. melanogaster eye development, the ommatidia grow larger, supporting a possible role for the timing of otd expression in regulating ommatidial size. We also identified potential direct targets of Otd that are differentially expressed between D. mauritiana and D. simulans during ommatidial maturation. …”

Microbiota governs host chenodeoxycholic acid glucuronidation to ameliorate bile acid disorder induced diarrhea by Zishen Lin, Yue Feng, Jinping Wang, Zhaoyue Men, Xi Ma

“…In vitro, important gene involved in the reduction of BA disorder induced-diarrhea were screened by RNA transcriptomics sequencing, and activation pathway of FXR-SIRT1-LKB1 to alleviate BA disorder diarrhea and P53-mediated apoptosis were proposed in vitro by multifarious siRNA interference, CO-IP, immunofluorescence, and so on, which mechanism was also verified in a variety of mouse models. Results Here, we reveal for the first time that core microbiota derived I3C represses gut epithelium glucuronidation, particularly 3β-glucuronic CDCA production, which reaction is mediated by host UDP glucuronosyltransferase family 1 member A4 (UGT1A4) and necessary of BA disorder induced diarrhea. …”
