饶议科学

每周的欢喜

每周期刊一堆,令人欢喜。

四十年前,不仅江西没有,就是北京上海的绝大多数大学和研究机构,也订不起国际学术期刊,国家帮助订的极少数单位也是晚三个月才放出来。

今天,大多数学生都可以在网上阅览。

老人保持读纸质版的习惯,已经闻不到墨香:四十年前即使在国外,Cell印刷装订都有问题,所以可以闻得到墨香、经常脱页。

纸质版可以翻阅,可以有“出其不意”。

能够读到原版期刊,永远是“求之不得”,而不是“负担过重”。

既学了世界上科学的进展,也刺激思考自己应该做什么。

1、Tissue Regeneration Of mice and frogs

Stella M. Hurtley

Some vertebrates can regenerate limbs, whereas others cannot. By comparing regenerating frog tadpoles and nonregenerating mouse embryonic limbs, Tsissios et al. found that species-specific oxygen sensing determines whether amputation triggers limb regeneration (see the Perspective by Paoli and Whited). Frog tadpoles exhibited reduced oxygen sensing associated with diminished regulation of hypoxia-inducible factor 1A (HIF1A), enabling robust regeneration by promoting biomechanical, epigenetic, and metabolic states conducive to tissue regrowth. By contrast, mouse limbs displayed heightened sensitivity to oxygen, which destabilizes HIF1A and prevents regeneration. Lowering environmental oxygen levels or stabilizing HIF1A allowed mouse limbs to initiate regeneration. Mui et al. used a mouse digit amputation model to investigate why some injuries regenerate while others scar. They found that the extracellular matrix, the network of proteins and sugars surrounding cells, was crucial to regeneration. Regenerating tissue is soft, fluid, and rich in hyaluronic acid, whereas nonregenerating tissue is stiff and collagen heavy. Depleting hyaluronic acid halted regeneration and triggered scarring, whereas stabilizing it improved bone regrowth.

Decoupling Wnt signaling events

Annalisa VanHook

Stabilization of the transcriptional coactivator β-catenin by the morphogen protein Wnt depends on recruitment of the intracellular protein Dishevelled to the Wnt receptor Frizzled, which is thought to depend on Wnt-mediated receptor clustering rather than on conformational changes in Frizzled. Moldaver et al. found that clustering of Frizzled was sufficient for the recruitment and phosphorylation of Dishevelled in human cell lines. The Wnt co-receptor low-density lipoprotein receptor–related protein 5/6 was not necessary for Dishevelled recruitment, but it was necessary to stabilize β-catenin. The finding that Dishevelled recruitment and β-catenin stabilization can be decoupled may shed light on how this process can lead to both β-catenin–dependent and –independent Wnt signaling.
