Dual PPARα/γ agonist aleglitazar confers stroke protection in a model of mild focal brain ischemia .....in miceAbstractPeroxisome proliferator-activated receptors (PPARs) control the expression of genes involved in glucose homeostasis, lipid metabolism, inflammation, and cell differentiation. Here, we analyzed the effects of aleglitazar, a dual PPARα and PPARγ agonist with balanced affinity for either subtype, on subacute stroke outcome. Healthy young adult mice were subjected to transient 30 min...

Introduction to the multi-author review on methylation in cellular physiologyAbstractProtein post-translational modifications (PTMs) have long been a topic of intensive investigation. Covalent additions to the 20 genetically encoded amino acids can alter protein interactions and can even change enzymatic function. In eukarya, PTMs can amplify both the complexity and functional paradigms of the cellular environment. Therefore, PTMs have been of substantial research interest, both for understanding...

Strategic cooperation for transnational adaptation: lessons from the economics of climate change mitigationAbstractThe literature on climate adaptation has so far conceptualized it as a domestic issue, to be governed somewhere between the local and the national scale.

Two decades of the economic literature on climate mitigation may...
