An astronomically dated record of Earths climate and its predictability over the last 66 million years
An astronomically dated record of Earths climate and its predictability over the last 66 million years: Much of our understanding of Earth's past climate comes from the measurement of oxygen and carbon isotope variations in deep-sea benthic foraminifera. Yet, long intervals in existing records lack the temporal resolution and age control needed to thoroughly categorize climate states of the Cenozoic era and to study their dynamics. Here, we present a new, highly resolved, astronomically dated, continuous...

The hepatocyte clock and feeding control chronophysiology of multiple liver cell types
The hepatocyte clock and feeding control chronophysiology of multiple liver cell types: Most cells of the body contain molecular clocks, but the requirement of peripheral clocks for rhythmicity and their effects on physiology are not well understood. We show that deletion of core clock components REV-ERBα and REV-ERBβ in adult mouse hepatocytes disrupts diurnal rhythms of a subset of liver genes and alters the diurnal rhythm of de novo lipogenesis. Liver function is also influenced by nonhepatocytic...

Targeting NEK2 impairs oncogenesis and radioresistance via inhibiting the Wnt1/β-catenin signaling pathway in cervical cancer
Targeting NEK2 impairs oncogenesis and radioresistance via inhibiting the Wnt1/β-catenin signaling pathway in cervical cancer: NEK2, a serine/threonine kinase involved in mitosis, has been found to function in chromosome instability, tumor progression and metastasis, but its role in cervical cancer radioresistance remains unknown.

NR4A3 Immunohistochemistry Reliably Discriminates Acinic Cell Carcinoma from Mimics
NR4A3 Immunohistochemistry Reliably Discriminates Acinic Cell Carcinoma from Mimics: AbstractAcinic cell carcinoma (AciCC) harbors a recurrent t(4;9)(q13;q31) translocation, which leads to upregulation of Nuclear Receptor Subfamily 4 Group A Member 3 (NR4A3). Previous work on tissue microarrays suggests that NR4A3 immunohistochemistry (IHC) may be useful in the diagnosis of AciCC. Thus far, only a single study has evaluated the utility of NR4A3 immunohistochemistry (IHC) in the diagnosis of AciCC,...

Evaluation of Dental Pulp Stem Cell Heterogeneity and Behaviour in 3D Type I Collagen Gels
Evaluation of Dental Pulp Stem Cell Heterogeneity and Behaviour in 3D Type I Collagen Gels: Dental pulp stem cells (DPSCs) are increasingly being advocated for regenerative medicine-based therapies. However, significant heterogeneity in the genotypic/phenotypic properties of DPSC subpopulations exists, influencing their therapeutic potentials. As most studies have established DPSC heterogeneity using 2D culture approaches, we investigated whether heterogeneous DPSC proliferative and contraction/remodelling...
