Non-canonical lysosomal lipolysis drives mobilization of adipose tissue energy stores with fasting by GV Naveen Kumar, Rui-Sheng Wang, Ankit X. Sharma, Natalie L. David, Tânia Amorim, Daniel S. Sinden, Nandini K. Doshi, Martin Wabitsch, Sebastien Gingras, Asim Ejaz, J. Peter Rubin, Bradley A. Maron, Pouneh K. Fazeli, Matthew L. Steinhauser

“…Here we discovered an alternative mechanism of lipolysis in adipocytes involving a lysosomal program. We functionally tested lysosomal lipolysis with pharmacological and genetic approaches in mice and in murine and human adipocyte and adipose tissue explant culture, establishing dependency on lysosomal acid lipase (LIPA/LAL) and the microphthalmia/transcription factor E (MiT/TFE) family. …”

Based on theoretical design simultaneous analysis of multiple neonicotinoid pesticides in beeswax by deep eutectic solvents extraction combined with UHPLC-MS/MS by Guodong Mu, Sha Yan, Fei Pan, Haitao Xu, Xu Jing, Xiaofeng Xue

“…In this work, we determined Proline and Oxalic acid as a suitable deep eutectic solvent (DES) to extract neonicotinoids from beeswax through theoretical design and verification tests. Systematic molecular dynamics simulations confirmed that hydrogen bonding and van der Waals forces facilitate the migration of neonicotinoid pesticides from beeswax into the DES. …”

Urinary bacteriophage cooperation with bacterial pathogens during human urinary tract infections supports lysogenic phage therapy by Mahmood Almosuli, Anna Kirtava, Archil Chkhotua, Lia Tsveniashvili, Nina Chanishvili, Sumaiya Safia Irfan, Emily Ng, Hope McIntyre, Adam J. Hockenberry, Robyn P. Araujo, Weidong Zhou, Ngoc Vuong, Barbara Birkaya, Lance Liotta, Alessandra Luchini

“…Although lysogeny plays an important role in bacterial physiology, its significance in diverse microbiomes remains unclear. Here, we tested the following hypotheses: 1) urinary microbiome phage populations switch to a higher relative proportion of temperate phages, and 2) the activity of the phage recombination machinery (integration/excision/transposition) is higher during human urinary tract infections (UTIs) than in non-infected urinary tracts. …”
