Obesity and lifelong body-shape fluctuation are associated with late-life structural brain damage, suggesting the involvement of metabolic pathways. The cerebral metabolic rate of oxygen (CMRO₂) reflects hemodynamic and oxidative stress and precedes structural atrophy, but its role in adiposity-related brain change remains unclear. We examined whether current and life-course adiposity relate to CMRO₂ and to structural change....

Microcystis spp., notorious bloom‐forming cyanobacteria, are often present in colony form in eutrophic lakes worldwide. Uncovering the mechanisms underlying Microcystis colony formation and maintenance is vital to controlling the blooms, but it has long been a challenge. Here, bacterial communities and gene expression patterns of colonial and unicellular forms of one non‐axenic strain of Microcystis aeruginosa isolated from La...

Ocean acidification (OA) caused by elevated atmospheric CO 2 concentration is predicted to have negative impacts on marine bivalves in aquaculture. However, to date, most of our knowledge is derived from short-term laboratory-based experiments, which are difficult to scale to real-world production. Therefore, field experiments, such as this study, are critical for improving ecological relevance. Due to the ability of seaweed t...
