Adult hippocampal neurogenesis shapes ideomotor action control in mice
Abstract Humans select and learn goal-directed actions through the anticipation of their outcomes. While this ideomotor principle is well established in humans, its biological instantiation and relevance for organizing naturalistic behavior remain unclear, including its neurobiol...

Who should pay for energy transition costs? Political ideology and distributive fairness in Alberta
Public support for energy transition does not necessarily imply agreement over how its costs and benefits should be distributed. As governments accelerate the transition to low-carbon energy, political conflict increasingly centers not on whether the transition should occur, but...

microRNA and Regulatory Networks of Human Macrophage During Leishmania major In Vitro Infection
Leishmania (L.) major modulates host microRNA (miR) expression to promote intracellular survival, yet the roles of specific miRs during early infection of human macrophages remain poorly defined. We investigated the dynamic regulation of miR-21-5p and miR-146a-5p in THP-1-derived...

Revealing the diurnal spatiotemporal dynamics and drivers of urban traffic congestion resilience
Urban traffic congestion imposes recurrent stress on urban transport systems and varies substantially across the day. This study conceptualises urban traffic congestion resilience (UTCR) as an hourly proxy state under recurrent congestion conditions and develops an integrated roa...

Pharmacological Individuality: The Twists and Turns of My Journey
The intent of this review is a nearly chronicle tale of my life as a physician-scientist, recounting the events, fortuitous encounters, and sites that shaped my career. Intrigued as a clinician by the large individual variation in response to drug therapy, my research efforts cen...

Ecosystem services (ESs) are the benefits that humans derive from ecosystems. Clarifying their spatiotemporal changes and driving factors is fundamental to regional ecological security. The Yangtze River Delta (YRD) is one of the most urbanized and human-disturbed regions in Chin...

The gut microbiome is an essential metabolic organ influencing host health through metabolite production. While metabolite production levels can be directly measured by gas or liquid chromatography, they are commonly inferred from the abundance of metagenomic functional pathways....

Metal- and Photosensitizer-Free Radical Strategy for the Construction of Fluorinated Oxiranes
Abstract Fluorinated oxiranes are valuable structural motifs in medicinal chemistry and materials science, yet their synthesis remains challenging due to the limited availability of efficient and general methods. Herein, we disclose a photoinduced radical epoxidation strategy tha...

Investigation of coal mine overburden as a sustainable fine aggregate in alkali-activated concrete
The environmental impacts associated with conventional concrete production and the increasing scarcity of natural resources have highlighted the need for alternative materials for sustainable concrete production. This study investigates the feasibility of using coal mine overburd...
