Late Paleolithic whale bone tools reveal human and whale ecology in the Bay of Biscay

Here the authors apply ZooMS, radiocarbon, and stable isotope analyses to whale bones from the Bay of Biscay. They find that humans were utilizing the remains of at least five species of whales from 20,000 years ago, and that those whale communities may have resembled today’s arctic waters.

Structure and unusual binding mechanism of the hyaluronan receptor LYVE-1 mediating leucocyte entry to lymphatics

Instrumental to the migration of antigen-scavenging immune cells, the lymphatic vessel entry receptor LYVE-1 interacts with the hyaluronan glycocalyx, anchored by the leucocyte hyaluronan receptor CD44. Here, dynamic force spectroscopy, crystal structures and MD simulations provide mechanistic insights.

This study presents a predictive equation for total energy expenditure derived from doubly labelled water measurements. Applying this equation to two large datasets (the National Diet and Nutrition Survey and National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey) shows that the misreporting of total energy intake is greater than 50%, with important implications for macronutrient availability.

Maternal pluripotency factors initiate extensive chromatin remodelling to predefine first response to inductive signals

Embryonic development produces different cell types in response to a small number of inductive signals. Here, the authors characterise how maternal factors modify chromatin to specify initial competence in Xenopus tropicalis, finding that the pioneering activity of the pluripotency factors Pou5f3 and Sox3 establishes competence for germ layer formation by remodelling chromatin before the onset of signalling.
