The NiCK Study is a cross-sectional study examining neurocognitive and neuroimaging differences in children and young adults (ages 8–25) with Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) compared to healthy controls. It includes 90 CKD participants (at various stages, including dialysis and post-transplant) and 70 matched controls. Assessments involve neurocognitive testing, clinical evaluations, and MRI scans to analyze brain structure, functional connectivity, and blood flow. A longitudinal component follows CKD participants with significant kidney function changes, such as dialysis transitions or transplants, with repeat testing at least six months later. To control for test familiarity effects, a group with stable kidney function will also be retested. The study aims to identify neurocognitive differences in CKD, explore how anemia, hypertension, and kidney function impact the brain, and improve understanding of CKD-related cognitive impairments. <br>

House mice (Mus musculus) have spread globally as a result of their commensal relationship with humans. In the form of laboratory strains, both inbred and outbred, they are also among the most widely-used model organisms in biomedical research. Although the general outlines of house mouse dispersal and population structure are well known, details have been obscured by either limited sample size or small numbers of markers. Here we examine ancestry, population structure, and inbreeding using SNP microarray genotypes in a cohort of 814 wild mice spanning five continents and all major subspecies of Mus, with a focus on M. m. domesticus. We find that the major axis of genetic variation in M. m. domesticus is a south-to-north gradient within Europe and the Mediterranean. The dominant ancestry component in North America, Australia, New Zealand, and various small offshore islands is of northern European origin. Next, we show that inbreeding is surprisingly pervasive and highly variable, even between nearby populations. By inspecting the length distribution of homozygous segments in individual genomes, we find that inbreeding in commensal populations is mostly due to consanguinity. Our results offer new insight into the natural history of an important model organism for medicine and evolutionary biology.

Nitrogen isotope and abundance data from brine seeps in the Gulf of Mexico.Three data tables show (1) Electrical Conductivity data for three sediment cores, (2) carbon and nitrogen data from all sediment cores investigated in this study, and (3) ammonium concentrations and isotopic data from brine pool samples.The results show high enrichments of ammonium in the brines, indicating that the brines actively mobilize bioavailable nitrogen back into the water column. Isotopic data reveal evidence of dissimilatory nitrate reduction to ammonium at the brine-seawater interface. Brine seeps have long been implicated in the formation of sediment-hosted hydrothermal ore deposits. Our results support the notion that brines may have stimulated biological productivity, facilitating trapping of metals in brine seep environments.
