TL;DR: There is clinical and experimental evidence that activation of the brain cytokine system is associated with depression, although the exact relationship between sickness behavior and depression is still elusive.
Abstract: Sickness behavior refers to the coordinated set of behavioral changes that develop in sick individuals during the course of an infection At the molecular level, these changes are due to the effects of proinflammatory cytokines, such as interleukin-1 (IL-1) and tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNFalpha), in the brain Peripherally released cytokines act on the brain via a fast transmission pathway involving primary afferent nerves innervating the body site of inflammation and a slow transmission pathway involving cytokines originating from the choroid plexus and circumventricular organs and diffusing into the brain parenchyma by volume transmission At the behavioral level, sickness behavior appears to be the expression of a central motivational state that reorganizes the organism's priorities to cope with infectious pathogens There is clinical and experimental evidence that activation of the brain cytokine system is associated with depression, although the exact relationship between sickness behavior and depression is still elusive

TL;DR: The data suggest that mitochondrial alterations do not precede the onset of insulin resistance and result from increased ROS production in muscle in diet-induced diabetic mice.
Abstract: Mitochondrial dysfunction in skeletal muscle has been implicated in the development of type 2 diabetes. However, whether these changes are a cause or a consequence of insulin resistance is not clear. We investigated the structure and function of muscle mitochondria during the development of insulin resistance and progression to diabetes in mice fed a high-fat, high-sucrose diet. Although 1 month of high-fat, high-sucrose diet feeding was sufficient to induce glucose intolerance, mice showed no evidence of mitochondrial dysfunction at this stage. However, an extended diet intervention induced a diabetic state in which we observed altered mitochondrial biogenesis, structure, and function in muscle tissue. We assessed the role of oxidative stress in the development of these mitochondrial abnormalities and found that diet-induced diabetic mice had an increase in ROS production in skeletal muscle. In addition, ROS production was associated with mitochondrial alterations in the muscle of hyperglycemic streptozotocin-treated mice, and normalization of glycemia or antioxidant treatment decreased muscle ROS production and restored mitochondrial integrity. Glucose- or lipid-induced ROS production resulted in mitochondrial alterations in muscle cells in vitro, and these effects were blocked by antioxidant treatment. These data suggest that mitochondrial alterations do not precede the onset of insulin resistance and result from increased ROS production in muscle in diet-induced diabetic mice.

TL;DR: Assessment of the immune status via Immunoscore provides a potent indicator of tumor recurrence beyond microsatellite-instability staging that could be an important guide for immunotherapy strategies.

TL;DR: It is argued that the field of extracellular vesicle (EV) biology needs more transparent reporting to facilitate interpretation and replication of experiments and EV-TRACK, a crowdsourcing knowledgebase that centralizes EV biology and methodology, is described.
Abstract: We argue that the field of extracellular vesicle (EV) biology needs more transparent reporting to facilitate interpretation and replication of experiments. To achieve this, we describe EV-TRACK, a crowdsourcing knowledgebase (http://evtrack.org) that centralizes EV biology and methodology with the goal of stimulating authors, reviewers, editors and funders to put experimental guidelines into practice.

TL;DR: A new lexical database for French, Lexique, which includes a series of interesting new characteristics such as gender, number, and grammatical category and a metasearch engine that can be added very easily to the existing databases.
Abstract: In this article, we present a new lexical database for French: Lexique. In addition to classical word information such as gender, number, and grammatical category, Lexique includes a series of interesting new characteristics. First, word frequencies are based on two cues: a contemporary corpus of texts and the number of Web pages containing the word. Second, the database is split into a graphemic table with all the relevant frequencies, a table structured around lemmas (particularly interesting for the study of the inflectional family), and a table about surface frequency cues. Third, Lexique is distributed under a GNU-like license, allowing people to contribute to it. Finally, a metasearch engine, Open Lexique, has been developed so that new databases can be added very easily to the existing ones. Lexique can either be downloaded or interrogated freely from http://www.lexique.org.
