In this article we report on a hexactinellid sponge new to science, Rhizophyta yapensis gen. et sp. nov., which was collected from the Yap Trench in northwestern Pacific Ocean at an abyssal depth of 4159–4779 m. Its fungus-like body form with long peduncle and absence hypodermalia suggest placement within euplectellid subfamily Bolosominae Tabachnick, 2002, whereas molecular phylogenetic evidence suggests that it is sister all remaining Euplectellidae Gray, 1867. rhizophytous method...
Neural stem cells (NSCs) continually produce new neurons in postnatal brains. However, the majority of these stay a nondividing, inactive state. The molecular mechanism that is required for to enter proliferation still remains largely unknown. Here, we show nuclear receptor TLX (NR2E1) controls activation status NSCs mice. Lineage tracing indicates TLX-expressing give rise both activated and NSCs. Surprisingly, loss function does not result spontaneous glial differentiation, but rather leads...
In this article we report on a hexactinellid sponge new to science, Tretopleura weijicus sp. nov., which was collected from the Weijia Seamount in northwestern Pacific Ocean at depth of 1995 m. Its blade-like and branching body form, primary choanosomal framework consisting multiaxial longitudinal strands without synapticula, presence sceptrules suggest placement within family Uncinateridae Reiswig, 2002, is also supported by molecular phylogenetic evidence COI 16S sequences. The absence...
Cardiac Na(+)-Ca(2+) exchange (NCX1) inactivates in excised membrane patches when cytoplasmic Ca(2+) is removed or Na(+) increased. Exogenous phosphatidylinositol-4,5-bis-phosphate (PIP(2)) can ablate both inactivation mechanisms, while it has no effect on inward current the absence of Na(+). To probe PIP(2) effects intact cells, we manipulated metabolism by several means. First, used cell lines with M1 (muscarinic) receptors that couple to phospholipase C's (PLCs). As expected, outward NCX1...
The lineage-specific basic helix-loop-helix transcription factor Ptf1a is a critical driver for development of both the pancreas and nervous system. How one controls diverse programs gene expression fundamental question in developmental biology. To uncover molecular strategies program-specific functions Ptf1a, we identified bound genomic regions vivo during tissues. Most by are specific to each tissue, lie near genes needed proper formation coincide with open chromatin. specificity binding...
The widespread application of micro-plastics (MP) and their release in the open environment has become a matter worldwide concern. When interacting with contaminants such as heavy metals soil ecosystem, MPs can result detrimental effects on plant growth development. However, information based interaction between terrestrial plants is still limited. Keeping this mind, present study was conducted to explore single combined toxicity polypropylene (PP) (13 6.5 μm) cadmium (Cd) germination...
Deep-sea sponges create complex biogenic structures and attract a wide array of deep-sea organisms, including symbionts. In this study, we describe Eunicesiphoninsidiator sp. nov., new eunicid species living in the central cavity farreid glass found on northwest Pacific seamounts. The closely resembles Atlantic Eunicenorvegica both morphologically molecularly, but it differs relative length palp compared to peristomium, starting points subacicular hooks, shape pectinate chaetae. A 13% COI...
Evapotranspiration (ET), a critical process in global climate change, is very difficult to estimate at regional and basin scales. In this study, we evaluated five ET products: the Global Land Surface Evaporation with Amsterdam Methodology (GLEAM, EartH2Observe ensemble (E2O)), Data Assimilation System Noah Model-2 (GLDAS), product 8 km resolution from Zhang (ZHANG) supplemental land surface of Modern-ERA Retrospective analysis for Research Applications (MERRA_land), using water balance...
An in-depth understanding of the electrothermal characteristics and behaviors nanocarbon aerogels is crucial for optimizing their Joule-heating performance expanding applications. Modifying a single parameter can reveal potential variations in Joule heating, which makes it valuable area investigation. This study explores reduced graphene oxide graphitized nanofiber with varying densities (14.9–31.7 mg·cm–3), fabricated using hydrothermal method polymer-assisted cross-linking method, to...
Hadal trenches remain one of the unexplored ocean ecosystems due to challenges sampling at great depths. It is still unclear how a faunal community changes from abyssal hadal zone, and which environmental variables are key impacting factors. In this study, nine dives Human Occupied Vehicle (HOV) “ JIAOLONG ” were conducted depths (4,435–6,796 m) in Yap Trench on southeastern boundary Philippine Sea Plate western Pacific, divided into 48,200 m video transects, describe megafaunal communities...
Ophiuroids, the most diverse group of echinoderms, inhabit a vast array ecological niches and play vital roles in benthic ecosystems as suspension feeders, scavengers opportunists. Despite important played by Ophiuroidea, their evolutionary history phylogenetic relationship is not yet fully understood. In this study, 47 mitochondrial genomes ophiuroids, including 21 newly sequenced ones, were analyzed. tRNA duplication was firstly discovered four species new start codon identified for...
