Burden of disease scenarios for 204 countries and territories, 2022–2050: a forecasting analysis for the Global Burden of Disease Study 2021 by Stein Emil, Vollset

“…Forecasts for the reference scenario found that health will improve in the coming decades, with all-cause age-standardised DALY rates decreasing in every GBD super-region. The total DALY burden measured in counts, however, will increase in every super-region, largely a function of population ageing and growth. …”

Activation of the unfolded protein response in high glucose treated endothelial cells is mediated by methylglyoxal by Zehra Irshad (18614869)

“…Proteins susceptible to MG modification were enriched in protein folding, protein synthesis, serine/threonine kinase signalling, glycolysis and gluconeogenesis. MG was increased in high glucose by increased flux of MG formation linked to increased glucose metabolism mediated by proteolytic stabilisation and increase of hexokinase-2 (HK-2); later potentiated by proteolytic down regulation of glyoxalase 1 (Glo1) - the major enzyme of MG metabolism. …”

Enhanced generation of beta cell precursors and functional insulin-secreting cells from human pluripotent stem cells by Bushra Memon (4792767)

“…The transcriptome profile of PDX1−/NKX6.1+-derived beta cells was closely like those of human pancreatic islets and purified hPSC-derived beta cells.…”

RFX3 is essential for the generation of functional human pancreatic islets from stem cells by Bushra Memon (4792767)

“…Despite a significant reduction in the expression levels of pancreatic islet hormones, the pan-endocrine marker chromogranin A remained unchanged at both EP and islet stages, likely due to an increase in the abundance of enterochromaffin cells (ECs). …”

Integration of Smart Sensors in Buildings to achieve Energy Efficiency in Hot and Humid Climate by JABR, BILAL SUDQI SAEED

“…It is also estimated that this utilization would grow to above 50% by 2030 because of the fast and consistent growth in economic activity and increase in population around the world. People tend to spend the greater part of their time in indoor spaces e.g., commercial and residential buildings. …”

Control of TGFβ signalling by ubiquitination independent function of E3 ubiquitin ligase TRIP12 by Kripa S Keyan (10644815)

“…Instead, <i>TRIP12</i> recruits SMURF2 to SMAD4, which is most likely responsible for inhibitory monoubiquitination of SMAD4, since SMAD4 monoubiquitination and its interaction with SMURF2 were dramatically downregulated in <i>TRIP12</i>^<em>-</em>^/- cells. …”
