In this issue of Cell Stem Cell, Márquez-Valadez, Gallardo-Caballero, and Llorens-Martín1 report that adult hippocampal neurogenesis (AHN) is differentially disrupted in neuropsychiatric disorders. Their findings highlight the role of the neurogenic niche and lifestyle, supporting the view of human AHN as a dynamic process sensitive to biology and behavior.
Responsible for roughly 40 % of global greenhouse gas emissions, energy usefor heating and cooling in the built environment constitutes a significant portionof annual total carbon emissions. The effort to decarbonise the heating andcooling sector necessitates efficient production, distribution and end use ofenergy. In this context, district heating and cooling is considered one of thecost-efficien
Background: People with hemophilia (PwH) or von Willebrand disease (VWD) are at risk of joint bleeding, which can lead to hemophilic arthropathy. Point-of-care musculoskeletal ultrasound (POC-MSKUS) is increasingly used to detect joint bleeds, but a comprehensive compilation of available independent scanning protocols and their respective measurement properties is missing. Objectives: This study a
In recent decades, with the advancement of technologies facilitating reproduction, parents have been able to make decisions regarding their childrens’ reproductive potential: to preserve their fertility when threatened by genetic conditions or medical treatment; to use their gametes or embryos to make grandchildren; or even to collect their gametes posthumously and then use them to make grandchild
Using structural properties of groups of small order, we establish the non-existence of varieties isogenous to a higher product of dimension n greater than 3 with fixed topological Euler number (-2)n and trivial first Betti number.
This paper examines the causal effect of public discourse in one or both sides of the market on overall market socially responsible behavior. In a laboratory setting, we vary whether firms and/or consumers participate in a public discussion before trading begins. When both sides take part, the share of socially responsible trades increases slightly; however, when only one side participates, market
Sexual conflict frequently gives rise to adaptations that increase male reproductive success at the expense of harming females (“male harm”) and decreasing population growth. Studying the ecology of male harm is paramount to understand how sexual conflict unfolds in nature, and its consequences for populations viability. Here, we used seed beetles (Callosobruchus maculatus), a species where males
Many studies that use an automated sorption balance to determine a water vapor sorption isotherm for wood collect data until the moisture content change is less than or equal to 0.002% min−1 (20 µg g−1 min−1). This stop criterion has been claimed to give errors in equilibrium moisture content (EMC) predictions of less than 0.001 g g−1 but over the past 10 years, studies have shown that the actual
We present a finite-volume QED action designed to improve the infinite-volume extrapolation of hadronic observables in precision lattice QCD+QED calculations. The action proposed in this work, which we call QEDr, can be seen as a particular case of the infrared-improved QED actions introduced by Davoudi et al. in 2019, and is specifically designed to remove kinematics-independent finite-volume cor

Background Alzheimer's disease (AD) may cause significant psychosocial distress not only in the patient but also their partner. However, long-term risks of major depression in partners of AD patients are largely unknown. Methods A national cohort study was conducted of all 145 289 partners of people diagnosed with all-cause dementia, including 57 113 partners of people diagnosed with AD, in Sweden
Follow-up of the atomic bomb survivors in Japan in the Life Span Study (LSS) has been fundamental for the understanding of the dose–response curve. We compare our risk estimates from a newly published epidemiological study on cancer in Sweden after the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant accident with the LSS data. Hazard ratios (HRs) with 95% confidence intervals (95% CIs) were calculated using conditi
Peatland trees are valuable archives of paleoclimatic information; however, gaps persist in understanding the relationships between tree growth, peatland hydrology, and hydroclimate variables. While previous research in peatlands has mainly focused on tree-ring widths (TRW), yielding inconclusive results, the potential of stable carbon (δ13C) and oxygen (δ18O) isotopes in tree rings remains unexpl
Monoclonal antibodies are among the most promising therapeutic agents in modern medicine, yet their formulation into high-concentration solutions for subcutaneous self-administration poses a major challenge. A key obstacle is the marked increase in viscosity often observed under these conditions. To gain deeper insights into this phenomenon, coarse-grained models derived from soft matter physics h
The global aviation industry is experiencing growing pressure to decarbonize, driving significant demand for Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF). Second-generation feedstocks that do not directly compete with food crops, such as lipid oils from insects and lignin-derived oils, are promising sources, but their high concentrations of inorganic contaminants and oxygen make them incompatible with existing
This paper reviews the recent advancements in inverter topologies and control techniques for grid-connected photovoltaic systems. As photovoltaic penetration continues to increase, modern power systems need high performance inverters which can maintain reliability, power quality and compliance with evolving grid codes. Although these inverters are advancing over the years, there is no existing rev
Preclinical studies suggest that taurine may exert neuroprotective effects. However, its relevance to dementia risk in human populations remains unclear. We investigated the associations between mid-life dietary taurine intake, circulating taurine concentrations, and the risk of late-life all-cause dementia, Alzheimer's disease (AD), and vascular dementia (VaD) in a large prospective cohort. This
