Sensor involved in regulating metabolic health identified
UT Southwestern Medical Center

A protein receptor called PAQR4 found within fat cells appears to act as a sensor for ceramides, waxy lipids whose overabundance has been linked to a variety of metabolic disorders and cancers, a study led by UT Southwestern Medical Center researchers suggests. Their findings, published in Nature Metabolism, could eventually lead to drugs that reduce cellular ceramide levels, much like statins reduce cholesterol levels.

Loss of Oxygen in Lakes and Oceans a Major Threat to Ecosystems, Society, and Planet
Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI)

Oxygen is a fundamental requirement of life, and the loss of oxygen in water, referred to as aquatic deoxygenation, is a threat to life at all levels. In fact, in research recently published in Nature Ecology and Evolution, Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute’s Associate Professor Kevin Rose, Ph.D. and his collaborators describe how ongoing deoxygenation presents a major threat to the stability of the planet as a whole.
