TL;DR: In the countries where the pandemic is progressing rapidly, all health professionals, regardless of their area of expertise, have been called to the field as mentioned in this paper, which reminds us of the need to revive the general perspective that we have begun to forget.
Abstract: Nowadays, we all are sitting in our homes and watching what is going on in the world, as if we are watching a science fiction movie, in which we have the leading role. Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19), which first appeared in Wuhan (Abdulamir, & Hafidh, 2020; Ait Addi et al., 2020 Aljofan, & Gaipov, 2020; Sorooshian, 2020) and later turned into a pandemic affecting the entire world, does not discriminate between the degree of democracy, finances, religion, gender, ethnicity and region. World is a fireplace and we all are “burning”.
In the countries where the pandemic is progressing rapidly, all health professionals, regardless of their area of expertise, have been called to the field. This reminds us of the need to revive the general perspective that we have begun to forget. That is to say, no matter how specific our area of expertise is, we are obliged to keep the general perspective of our field and basic doctrines constantly fresh.

TL;DR: The results link H2AXS139ph to transcription, assigning a new function for this DNA damage marker, and demonstrate the biological relevance of this mechanism within the context of TGFβ1 signaling.
Abstract: The eukaryotic genome is organized into chromatins, the physiological template for DNA-dependent processes including replication, recombination, repair, and transcription. Chromatin-mediated transcription regulation involves DNA methylation, chromatin remodeling, and histone modifications. However, chromatin also contains non-histone chromatin-associated proteins, of which the high-mobility group (HMG) proteins are the most abundant. Although it is known that HMG proteins induce structural changes of chromatin, the processes underlying transcription regulation by HMG proteins are poorly understood. Here we decipher the molecular mechanism of transcription regulation mediated by the HMG AT-hook 2 protein (HMGA2). We combined proteomic, ChIP-seq, and transcriptome data to show that HMGA2-induced transcription requires phosphorylation of the histone variant H2AX at S139 (H2AXS139ph; γ-H2AX) mediated by the protein kinase ataxia telangiectasia mutated (ATM). Furthermore, we demonstrate the biological relevance of this mechanism within the context of TGFβ1 signaling. The interplay between HMGA2, ATM, and H2AX is a novel mechanism of transcription initiation. Our results link H2AXS139ph to transcription, assigning a new function for this DNA damage marker. Controlled chromatin opening during transcription may involve intermediates with DNA breaks that may require mechanisms that ensure the integrity of the genome.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors used realistic numerical simulations to find that small-scale eruptions are generated by ubiquitous magnetized vortex tubes generated by the Sun's turbulent convection in subsurface layers.
Abstract: The solar surface is covered by high-speed jets transporting mass and energy into the solar corona and feeding the solar wind. The most prominent of these jets have been known as spicules. However, the mechanism initiating these eruption events is still unknown. Using realistic numerical simulations we find that small-scale eruptions are produced by ubiquitous magnetized vortex tubes generated by the Sun's turbulent convection in subsurface layers. The swirling vortex tubes (resembling tornadoes) penetrate into the solar atmosphere, capture and stretch background magnetic field, and push the surrounding material up, generating shocks. Our simulations reveal complicated high-speed flow patterns and thermodynamic and magnetic structure in the erupting vortex tubes. The main new results are: (1) the eruptions are initiated in the subsurface layers and are driven by high-pressure gradients in the subphotosphere and photosphere and by the Lorentz force in the higher atmosphere layers; (2) the fluctuations in the vortex tubes penetrating into the chromosphere are quasi-periodic with a characteristic period of 2-5 minutes; and (3) the eruptions are highly non-uniform: the flows are predominantly downward in the vortex tube cores and upward in their surroundings; the plasma density and temperature vary significantly across the eruptions.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors compared modifications of soil zymography, a new in situ technique to visualize enzyme activities, based on contact of fluorgenic substrate-saturated membranes with soil either through the gel layer (gel Zymography) or without gel application.
Abstract: We compared modifications of soil zymography, a new in situ technique to visualize enzyme activities, based on contact of fluorgenic substrate-saturated membranes with soil either through the gel layer (gel zymography) or without gel application (direct zymography). We coupled zymography with quantitative measurements of enzyme kinetics to characterize catalytic mechanisms of β-glucosidase activity at the plant-soil interface including root surface (rhizoplane), rhizosphere, and bulk soil. Direct zymography refined and focused image resolution. The area of hotspots (i.e., spots with most intensive enzyme activity) as well as color intensity ratios estimated using direct zymography exceeded by a factor of 2 the corresponding values obtained with gel zymography. As determined by direct zymography, the percentage of hotspots associated to root surfaces was 58–68 % of total hotspot area. Hotspot area comprised only 6.8 ± 0.1 % of the total area of an image and 9.0 ± 3 % of the root surface area. The intensity of β-glucosidase activity, however, was up to 20 times higher in the hotspots versus bulk soil. The contribution of rhizosphere to β-glucosidase activity of the whole image (77–82 %) was four times higher than the contribution of the root surface. Enzyme kinetic parameters indicated different enzyme systems in bulk and rhizosphere soil. Higher substrate affinity and catalytic efficiency in bulk than in rhizosphere soil suggested relative domination of microorganisms with more efficient enzyme systems in the former. Coupling direct zymography and kinetic assays enabled mapping the two-dimensional (2D) distribution of enzyme activity at the root-soil interface and estimating the catalytic properties of root-associated and soil-associated enzymes.
