Induction of proximal tubular proliferation and lengthening in response to sodium glucose linked cotransporter‐2 inhibition in experimental rats
INTRODUCTION Close to 100% of the roughly 180 g of glucose that enters the glomerular filtrate each day is reabsorbed. This vital physiological process takes place exclusively in the proximal tubule and is mediated by two sodium-linked cotransporters, sodium-glucose linked cotransporter-2 (SGLT2) and SGLT1. Under normal circumstances, up to 97% (160–180 g) of glucose reabsorption is mediated by SGLT2, while the remainder, a mere 3% (5 g) is undertaken by SGLT11.
Opinion: At UC San Diego, housing costs hammer student body
At UC San Diego, over 3,000 students face housing insecurity each year. That’s around 7% of the student body, including thousands of real people navigating one of the most expensive rental markets in the country while trying to complete a degree. Yet, to university leadership, that number never seems quite large enough to warrant real urgency. Seven percent doesn’t make headlines. It’s not dramatic enough. It’s not disruptive enough. In their eyes, it’s almost a problem — but almost is never enough.

Asian Americans’ Place in the History of Racial Justice
For many Asian Americans, it can be hard to figure out where you stand in a country built upon the Black-white racial divide. The #StopAsianHate movement helped raise awareness about anti-Asian racism and elevate the importance of addressing these racial disparities.
My Bright Day
A fantastical encounter with light I loved light. Even the sun wasn’t bright enough. When I was chasing a firefly into the woods, I found a tree hollow. Light seemed to be coming out of the tree hollow. It said, “I can take you wherever you want.” I said, “Outer space!” I was in outer space! I saw shining gold. I collected as much gold as I could. It was like a gold rush. I went back to Earth. I gave the gold to my friend because she’s scared of the dark. Now the light was finally bright enough.

A new health initiative called WellAWARE was launched with the help of U.Va. Health funding to combat healthcare inequalities in Charlottesville neighborhoods.

U.Va. Health policy restricts patient visitation policy Original
Effective earlier this month, U.Va. Health has prohibited routine patient visitation with limited exceptions. Hospital lobbies and waiting rooms are also closed to visitation. Sharon Bragg, assistant nurse manager of the intensive care unit at U.Va. Health, said patient visitation has been limited ever since COVID-19 patient numbers increased back in 2020. The policy has become even stricter in 2022. “The decision comes down to the beds available in the hospital,” Bragg said.

Mental health issues surrounding lung cancer could take a greater toll on patients than the disease itself, experts say
For decades, the general public has only associated smoking as a risk factor for lung cancer, but health experts now know that there are many more factors that can contribute to the development of lung diseases. However, because of the public’s continued false perception, non-smokers with lung cancer face increasing stigma.
U.Va professors share insights on scientific learning and improvements for the future of scientific education

New People’s Open Pantry Offers Access to Healthy Food

HHFB is now distributing about 40 percent more food than we did in 2019, thanks in part to these new member agencies.” Angela Babb led a team of volunteers over the summer to work out the details of starting a food pantry during the pandemic. People’s Open Pantry launched on September 19.
WINGS Offers Outdoor Adventures for Women by Women

When she heard last year from Debra King at the Indiana Department of Natural Resources (DNR) Division of Fish and Wildlife that there was a women’s outdoors group forming, Meyer was all in.

Ethos of New People’s Market Focuses on Food Justice, Mutual Aid
Chilly air, gray skies, and coronavirus worries did not dampen the buzz of the People’s Market launch on the morning of March 21. Gloved volunteers, bundled up in puffy coats and DIY face masks, loaded cardboard boxes of leafy greens, brown eggs, and seeded bread into the trunks of cars filing through the parking lot of the shuttered Kmart on East 3rd Street. Customers had preordered their selections online, avoiding the need for cash exchanges and direct physical contact.
Monroe County Commission Plans Limestone Quarry Heritage Park
Many of Monroe County’s limestone quarries lie hidden in plain sight. A grove of trees along a highway or country road may look like another forested acreage, perhaps sheltering a farmland of soybeans or hay. But behind the trees are acres of rocks piled high and deep. Visitors to a working quarry may be somewhat shocked at the scar the quarries leave upon the landscape.
Bloomington 2019: ‘The Year of the Farmers’ Market Controversy’
WU: What is your relationship to or investment in Bloomington? Are there particular places, contexts, or situations where you feel really connected or at home? Are there others, perhaps, where you feel like an outsider or even unwelcome? MICHELLE MOYD: I moved to Bloomington in 2008 straight from Ithaca, New York, where I had finished my Ph.D. at Cornell University. My connection to Bloomington deepened when I met my husband shortly after I moved here.
V1 and V2 Domains of HIV Envelope Contribute to CCR5 Antagonist Resistance

Op-ed: Democracy, voting rights at risk for Hoosiers
A citizen’s right to vote is fundamental to democracy. Indiana’s state Constitution strongly safeguards this right. Our founders explicitly recognized Hoosiers’ entitlement to “free and equal” elections. Local observers have alleged a number of ongoing problems despite these protections. Accordingly, the nonpartisan Indiana Advisory Committee to the United States Commission on Civil Rights decided to investigate the issue of voting rights in Indiana.
Why immigration advocates must take back the term ‘chain migration’
As scholars and teachers of immigration history, we have been startled by the recent battle over the term “chain migration.” Restrictionists — those who want to slash legal immigration in part by eliminating family-based immigration categories — have hijacked and weaponized the term “chain migration.” They describe chain migration in language designed to raise the specter of undesirables crashing through America’s gates, overwhelming welfare systems and draining resources.

The Forgotten Story of Japanese American Zoot Suiters
Sus Kaminaka was a zoot suiter: one of the many young people in 1940s America who embraced a distinctive, working-class urban aesthetic characterized by flamboyant fashions and irreverent comportment. Kaminaka and other hipsters sported pompadours and ducktail haircuts, “drapes” consisting of broad-shouldered, long fingertip coats tapered at the ankles, pleated pegged pants, wide-brimmed hats, and watch fobs. They also loved to party.
