Inflammation in the tumor microenvironment has been shown to promote disease progression in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC); however, the role of macrophage metabolism in promoting inflammation is unclear. Using an orthotopic mouse model of PDAC, we demonstrate that macrophages from tumor-bearing mice exhibit elevated glycolysis. Macrophage- specific deletion of Glucose Transporter 1...

Inhibition of p38mapk reduces adipose tissue inflammation in aging mediated by arginase-II

Huang, Ji ; Liu, Chang ; Ming, Xiu-Fen ; Yang, Zhihong

In: Pharmacology, 2020, vol. 105, no. 9–10, p. 491–504

Background: Adipose tissue inflammation occurs not only in obesity but also in aging and is mechanistically linked with age-associated diseases. Studies show that ablation of the l-arginine-metabolizing enzyme arginase-II (Arg-II) reduces adipose tissue inflammation and improves glucose tolerance in obesity. However, the role of Arg-II in aging adipose tissue inflammation is not clear....

RaxmlGUI 2.0: A graphical interface and toolkit for phylogenetic analyses using RAxML

Edler, Daniel ; Klein, Johannes ; Antonelli, Alexandre ; Silvestro, Daniele

In: Methods in Ecology and Evolution, 2020, vol. -, no. -, p. -

raxmlGUI is a graphical user interface to RAxML, one of the most popular and widely used softwares for phylogenetic inference using maximum likelihood.Here we present raxmlGUI 2.0, a complete rewrite of the GUI which seamlessly integrates RAxML binaries for all major operating systems with an intuitive graphical front‐end to setup and run phylogenetic analyses.Our program offers automated...
