The macrophage polarization–ferroptosis axis as a therapeutically targetable immunometabolic framework in periodontitis
Abstract Periodontitis is a chronic inflammatory disease sustained by microbial dysbiosis, maladaptive host immunity, oxidative stress, and progressive destruction of periodontal supporting tissues. Macrophage polarization and ferroptosis have usually been discussed as separate pathological processes, but increasing evidence suggests that they may be functionally connected within the periodontal inflammatory microenvironment.
A telomere-to-telomere genome reveals arachidonic acid as a key regulator of hepatic lipid metabolism during hibernation
Abstract Elucidating the molecular mechanisms governing mammalian hibernation is crucial for understanding energy homeostasis and physiological adaptation to extreme environments. In this study, we present the first high-quality telomere-to-telomere (T2T) reference genome (2.69 Gb) of the Daurian ground squirrel (Spermophilus dauricus), a typical hibernating mammal.
Residential Clean Technologies Still Make Sense — Even Without Tax Credits.
The economics of US residential clean technology adoption have shifted dramatically. The One Big Beautiful Bill Act released in summer 2025 ended major tax credits for clean upgrades. The Inflation Reduction Act (IRA)’s 30% credit for rooftop solar, up to $2,000 credit for air-source heat pumps (ASHPs), and up to $7,500 credit for electric vehicles (EVs) are no longer available to offset up-front costs, increasing the effective cost of these technologies for many households.
Influencing the Influencers: Effects of an In-Person Summit on Tiktok Creators’ Mental Health Communication Habits and Beliefs
Abstract Social media platforms such as TikTok hold tremendous promise for reaching large proportions of the general population with health messaging. However, the proliferation of health misinformation on these platforms poses a significant public health risk. Partnerships between public health experts and social media content creators are a novel intervention, which may overcome concerns about misinformation, and catalyze the proliferation of evidence-based health messages on social media.

Exploratory Analysis of the Association Between Plasma Ceramide Alterations and Cognitive Dysfunction in Parkinson's Disease
1 Introduction Cognitive dysfunction (CD), which varies from mild cognitive impairment (MCI) to Parkinson's disease dementia (PDD), is one of the most prevalent and disabling symptoms in PD patients. CD may manifest at any stage of PD; approximately 25% of patients are diagnosed with MCI, and up to 83% eventually progress to dementia [1, 2]. The presence of CD markedly increases disability and overall functional decline, which tends to progress concomitantly with cognitive deterioration [3].

100% Clean Electricity - How To Get Your City Or County To 100% Renewables
Hundreds of cities across the United States have announced 100% renewable energy or carbon-neutrality goals. While setting a target is a critical first step, many local governments struggle to determine what comes next — how should they prioritize various energy projects to meet their goals efficiently?
3 Ways U.S. Cities Broke Clean Energy Records in 2021
As the latest IPCC report notes, cities will play a critical role in climate action over the next decade, and many challenges and opportunities for generating more clean electricity lie ahead. After remaining undaunted in their pursuit of renewables in 2020, U.S. cities, counties and tribal governments made 2021 another record-breaking year for renewable energy development in the United States.

Cities are banding together to buy renewables at scale
In March, 24 local governments in Maryland joined together on a plan to purchase enough renewable energy to power more than 246,000 homes a year. They did this by issuing a joint request for proposal (RFP) through the Baltimore Regional Cooperative Purchasing Committee (BRCPC) to seek a supply of up to 240,000 MWh of renewable energy starting in 2022.

US cities bought more renewable energy than ever in 2020
As the world reels from the financial blow of COVID-19, local governments in the United States are under huge pressure as cities and counties face severe budget shortfalls. This is forcing cuts to crucial spending on education and infrastructure as well as layoffs, furloughs and hiring freezes. Losing critical funds could have seriously hindered U.S. local governments’ continued progress on renewable energy.

Five trends: U.S. cities and counties are going renewable
Cities are a core driver of climate change, accounting for more than 70 percent of greenhouse gas emissions. Precisely because their communities are such big emitters, local governments can be at the forefront of tackling climate change and leading the switch to clean energy. Over the past five years, more U.S. cities have started setting and acting upon their renewable energy goals.
