TL;DR: A massive-scale RNA sequencing protocol, short quantitative random RNA libraries or SQRL, is developed, highlighting how SQRL can be used to characterize transcriptome content and dynamics in a quantitative and reproducible manner, and suggesting that the understanding of transcriptional complexity is far from complete.
Abstract: We developed a massive-scale RNA sequencing protocol, short quantitative random RNA libraries or SQRL, to survey the complexity, dynamics and sequence content of transcriptomes in a near-complete fashion. This method generates directional, random-primed, linear cDNA libraries that are optimized for next-generation short-tag sequencing. We surveyed the poly(A)+ transcriptomes of undifferentiated mouse embryonic stem cells (ESCs) and embryoid bodies (EBs) at an unprecedented depth (10 Gb), using the Applied Biosystems SOLiD technology. These libraries capture the genomic landscape of expression, state-specific expression, single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), the transcriptional activity of repeat elements, and both known and new alternative splicing events. We investigated the impact of transcriptional complexity on current models of key signaling pathways controlling ESC pluripotency and differentiation, highlighting how SQRL can be used to characterize transcriptome content and dynamics in a quantitative and reproducible manner, and suggesting that our understanding of transcriptional complexity is far from complete.

TL;DR: In this article, a case for the use of small and incremental changes in diet and physical activity for improved weight management in the context of a toxic obesogenic environment is presented.
Abstract: Obesity is associated with numerous short- and long-term health consequences. Low levels of physical activity and poor dietary habits are consistent with an increased risk of obesity in an obesogenic environment. Relatively little research has investigated associations between eating and activity behaviors by using a systems biology approach and by considering the dynamics of the energy balance concept. A significant body of research indicates that a small positive energy balance over time is sufficient to cause weight gain in many individuals. In contrast, small changes in nutrition and physical activity behaviors can prevent weight gain. In the context of weight management, it may be more feasible for most people to make small compared to large short-term changes in diet and activity. This paper presents a case for the use of small and incremental changes in diet and physical activity for improved weight management in the context of a toxic obesogenic environment.

TL;DR: It is shown that MOFs can also serve as effective selectivity regulators for the hydrogenation of α,β-unsaturated aldehydes, and it is anticipated that this basic design strategy will allow the development of other selective heterogeneous catalysts for important yet challenging transformations.
Abstract: Unsaturated alcohols, widely used in the flavouring, perfume and pharmaceutical industries, are produced by selectively hydrogenating CO groups over CC groups present in suitable starting aldehyde molecules. Developing efficient catalysts for this transformation is challenging. Here Zhiyong Tang and colleagues describe a new type of highly selective catalyst in which platinum nanoparticles are sandwiched between a core and a shell of a metalorganic framework. This arrangement results in stable catalysts that selectively hydrogenate CO groups to produce a range of value-added unsaturated alcohols. The design strategy underpinning the work should be applicable to other selective catalysts for important yet challenging chemical reactions.

TL;DR: A facile solution reduction method using NaBH4 as a reductant is developed to prepare iron-cobalt oxide nanosheets (Fex Coy -ONSs) with a large specific surface area, ultrathin thickness, and, importantly, abundant oxygen vacancies that could improve electronic conductivity and facilitate adsorption of H2 O onto nearby Co3+ sites.
Abstract: Electrochemical water splitting is a promising method for storing light/electrical energy in the form of H2 fuel; however, it is limited by the sluggish anodic oxygen evolution reaction (OER). To improve the accessibility of H2 production, it is necessary to develop an efficient OER catalyst with large surface area, abundant active sites, and good stability, through a low-cost fabrication route. Herein, a facile solution reduction method using NaBH4 as a reductant is developed to prepare iron-cobalt oxide nanosheets (FexCoy-ONSs) with a large specific surface area (up to 261.1 m2 g−1), ultrathin thickness (1.2 nm), and, importantly, abundant oxygen vacancies. The mass activity of Fe1Co1-ONS measured at an overpotential of 350 mV reaches up to 54.9 A g−1, while its Tafel slope is 36.8 mV dec−1; both of which are superior to those of commercial RuO2, crystalline Fe1Co1-ONP, and most reported OER catalysts. The excellent OER catalytic activity of Fe1Co1-ONS can be attributed to its specific structure, e.g., ultrathin nanosheets that could facilitate mass diffusion/transport of OH− ions and provide more active sites for OER catalysis, and oxygen vacancies that could improve electronic conductivity and facilitate adsorption of H2O onto nearby Co3+ sites.
