Out today in Nature: We uncover a neural mechanism for the integration of two internal states - hunger and estrous state - and how this integration shapes pup-directed behaviors in mice.

Surprisingly, mouse sperm can locate and swim through the tiny opening in #zebrafish eggs known as the micropyle, suggesting that some mechanisms guiding sperm toward eggs may be shared across distant species.

The gut-brain connection
Glia cells mediate cytokine signalling between the gut and the brain, linking sleep to inflammation in the gut.
University of Turku researcher Jonna Alanko has received the Young Investigator Award of the Scandinavian Society for Immunology. Her group studies how immune cells find their way through the body, for example, to an infection. Congratulations💐👏🎉!

Figure 4 - CSF1 and IL34 protein increase throughout development and display distinct spatiotemporal transcriptional expression patterns; panel L. Density maps depicting the spatiotemporal expression patterns of Il34 (top) and Csf1 (bottom) transcripts in RNAscope™ across development. Left to right: P3, P10, P30. Warmer colours indicate greater while cooler colours indicate lower transcript density.
CSF1R ligands promote microglial proliferation but are not the sole regulators of developmental microglial proliferation

CALL FOR PAPERS!
Ion channels are emerging as critical regulators of tissue morphogenesis in diverse animals from planaria to humans. Mutations in ion channels can cause craniofacial and limb abnormalities in frogs, mice & humans.

Viisautta ja sivistystä huokuu tästä synttärihaastattelusta. Seppo Lindblom puolustaa velanhoidon ja puolustuksen pinteeseen jäänyttä hyvinvointia. Ja tutkimusta!
Paras on silti tämä:

-En kaksikymppisenä kuuntelisi näin vanhojen miesten neuvoja.”
Forecast 2-m temperatures today in Finland, based on the MEPS regional model.
20 straight days with 30 °C in Finland! Truly unprecedented heatwave still in full swing with maximum today about 32-33 degrees.
Even the Arctic regions (e.g. Sodankylä Tähtelä) have seen three weeks above 25 °C, and may rival tomorrow their August heat records.
Ying Yu, Danyang Tian and colleagues show how macrophage-derived #prostaglandins can regulate adipose tissue remodeling: via a signaling cascade initiated by EP3 receptor and impinging on DNA methylation

Pride-lippu, jossa lukee RESEARCH WITH PRIDE Suomen Akatemia
🌈 Erinomaista Pride-päivää, ystävät!
Me Suomen Akatemiassa edistämme pitkäjänteisesti tasa-arvoa ja yhdenvertaisuutta tieteessä ja sen tekemisen tavoissa. Rahoitamme myös aiheeseen liittyvää tutkimusta.
Tieteellä ja tutkimuksella on voimaa muuttaa maailmaa paremmaksi ihan kaikille!
Happy to finally share what my colleagues Laura, Emmi, and I have been working on for the last years in @rantakarigroup.bsky.social
