DNA damage is frequently encountered in spermatozoa of subfertile males and is correlated with a range of adverse clinical outcomes including impaired fertilization, disrupted preimplantation embryonic development, increased rates of miscarriage and an enhanced risk of disease in the progeny. The etiology of DNA fragmentation in human spermatozoa is closely correlated with the appearance of oxidative base adducts and evidence of impaired spermiogenesis. We hypothesize that oxidative stress impedes spermiogenesis, resulting in the generation of spermatozoa with poorly remodelled chromatin. These defective cells have a tendency to default to an apeptotic pathway associated with motility loss, caspase activation, phosphatidylserine exteriorization and the activation of free radical generation by the mitochondria. The latter induces lipid peroxidation and oxidative DNA damage, which then leads to DNA fragmentation and cell death. The physical architecture of spermatozoa prevents any nucleases activated as a result of this apoptotic process from gaining access to the nuclear DNA and inducing its fragmentation. It is for this reason that a majority of the DNA damage encountered in human spermatozoa seems to be oxidative. Given the important role that oxidative stress seems to have in the etiology of DNA damage, there should be an important role for antioxidants in the treatment of this condition. If oxidative DNA damage in spermatozoa is providing a sensitive readout of systemic oxidative stress, the implications of these findings could stretch beyond our immediate goal of trying to minimize DNA damage in spermatozoa as a prelude to assisted conception therapy.

Developing effective and long-term treatment strategies for rare and complex neurodegenerative diseases is challenging. One of the major roadblocks is the extensive heterogeneity among patients. This hinders understanding the underlying disease-causing mechanisms and building solutions that have implications for a broad spectrum of patients. One potential solution is to develop personalized medicine approaches based on strategies that target the most prevalent cellular events that are perturbed in patients. Especially in patients with a known genetic mutation, it may be possible to understand how these mutations contribute to problems that lead to neurodegeneration. Protein–protein interaction analyses offer great advantages for revealing how proteins interact, which cellular events are primarily involved in these interactions, and how they become affected when key genes are mutated in patients. This line of investigation also suggests novel druggable targets for patients with different mutations. Here, we focus on alsin and spastin, two proteins that are identified as “causative” for amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and hereditary spastic paraplegia, respectively, when mutated. Our review analyzes the protein interactome for alsin and spastin, the canonical pathways that are primarily important for each protein domain, as well as compounds that are either Food and Drug Administration–approved or are in active clinical trials concerning the affected cellular pathways. This line of research begins to pave the way for personalized medicine approaches that are desperately needed for rare neurodegenerative diseases that are complex and heterogeneous.

近几十年来，由于道路网络的扩张和城市化的蓬勃发展，道路建设对典型草原的影响引起了广泛的关注。然而，道路类型和距离对植物种群生长的综合影响仍然知之甚少。因此，本研究以陇东黄土高原微温微干典型草原为研究对象，探讨了道路建设（道路类型、距离）对菊科优势种茵陈蒿（Artemisia capillaris）和伴生种阿尔泰狗娃花（Aster altaicus）生长繁殖影响的驱动因素及其作用机制。结果表明，道路建设促进茵陈蒿的横向生长和无性繁殖，促进阿尔泰狗娃花的垂直生长和有性繁殖。阿尔泰狗娃花具有更强的更新潜力。普通公路茵陈蒿和阿尔泰狗娃花的地上生物量分别比其它两种道路平均高49%和27%，因此其对普通公路建设的响应更加敏感。此外，道路建设主要通过影响土壤进一步影响两个种群的地上生物量在群落中的占比。阿尔泰狗娃花的地上生物量及其在群落中的占比在距离20—35 m的范围存在明显阈值。因此需要注意将此范围内的植被保护和恢复措施与道路管理动态结合，影响植物生长繁殖，调控群落构建过程，以应对道路建设对种群和群落关系扰动的巨大挑战。

The active transmission of information from sender to receiver is a fundamental component of communication, and is therefore a primary facet in evolutionary models of sexual selection. research in several systems has underlined the importance of multiple sensory modalities in courtship signals. However, we still tend to think of individuals as having a relatively static signal in consecutive communicative events. While this may be true for certain traits such as body size or coloration, behaviorally modulated signals can quickly violate this assumption. In this work, we explore how intraspecific variation may be an important component of interspecific signal divergence using cichlid fishes from Lake Malawi. Behavioral analyses were made using six species of Malawian cichlids from two divergent genera. While interspecific differences were found between congeners based on species-level analyses of both acoustic and audiovisual signals, intraspecific variation was of a similar magnitude. Specifically, individual fishes were found to possess highly plastic signal repertoires. This finding was ubiquitous across all species and resuited in a great deal of overlap between heterospecific individuals, despite statistically distinct species means. These results demonstrate that some aspects of courtship in Malawian cichlids are more plastic than previously proposed, and that studies must account for signal variability within individuals. We propose here that behavioral variability in signaling is important in determining the communication landscape on which signals are perceived. We review potential complexity deriving from multimodal signaling, discuss the sources for such lability, and suggest ways in which this issue may be approached experimentally .

It is widely recognized that climate change is one of the greatest challenges humanity faces in the 21st century[1,2].As the leading authority for the assessment of climate change,the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC),in its special report on global warming of 1.5℃,has concluded that human activities have caused approximately 1.0℃ of global warming above preindustrial levels,with a likely increase of 1.5℃ between 2030 and 2052[3].Climate-related risks for natural and human systems are projected to increase with global warming of 1.5℃,and increase further with 2℃ or *** risks depend on the magnitude and rate of warming,geographic location,levels of development and vulnerability,and on the choices and implementation of adaptation and mitigation options.
