Identification of a molecular resistor that controls UCP1-independent Ca2+ cycling thermogenesis in adipose tissue
Keywords thermogenesis UCP1-independent Ca2+ cycling energy balance obesity Introduction The principle of thermogenesis follows Joule’s first law: Q (J) = I2 × R × T, where I is current, R is resistance, and T is time.1 This formula explains how proton uncoupling of the mitochondrial electron transport chain (ETC) by uncoupling protein 1 (UCP1) leads to thermogenesis in brown and beige adipocytes.

Of Crystals and Rubber: Lessons for a Resource War in the Pacific
Rubber is soft, stretchy, and melts or ignites at a lower temperature than paper. Crystals crack under pressure and are notoriously fragile.

Nevertheless, rubber and crystals—specifically silicon crystals—have become central to the balance of international power in the past century.

TIME-seq reduces time and cost of DNA methylation measurement for epigenetic clock construction
|
Abstract Epigenetic ‘clocks’ based on DNA methylation have emerged as the most robust and widely used aging biomarkers, but conventional methods for applying them are expensive and laborious. Here we develop tagmentation-based indexing for methylation sequencing (TIME-seq), a highly multiplexed and scalable method for low-cost epigenetic clocks. Using TIME-seq, we applied multi-tissue and tissue-specific epigenetic clocks in over 1,800 mouse DNA samples from eight tissue and cell types.

The Marine Corps Needs a Local Supply-Web Logistics System
The Marine Corps is a people business. Despite this, advances in technology and artificial intelligence (AI) are trading in human-capital for automated efficiency. Realigning to a human-centric approach would solve a pervasive issue: Supply officers at the using-unit level need a better way to talk laterally across units, and across services, to provide the most efficient support for their units.
