    Abstract Anaerobic alcoholic fermentation, particularly in high-sugar environments, presents metabolic challenges for yeasts. Crabtree-positive yeasts, including Saccharomyces cerevisiae, prefer fermentation even in the presence of oxygen. These yeasts rely on internal NAD+ recycling and extracellular assimilation of its precursor, nicotinic acid (vitamin B3), rather than de novo NAD+ production. Surprisingly, nicotinic acid assimilation is poorly characterized, even in S. cerevisiae. This study elucidated the timing of nicotinic acid uptake during grape juice-like fermentation and its impact on NAD(H) levels, the NAD+/NADH ratio, and metabolites produced. Complete uptake of extracellular nicotinic acid occurred premid-exponential phase, thereafter small amounts of vitamin B3 were exported back into the medium. Suboptimal levels of nicotinic acid were correlated with slower fermentation and reduced biomass, disrupting redox balance and impeding NAD+ regeneration, thereby affecting metabolite production. Metabolic outcomes varied with nicotinic acid concentrations, linking NAD+ availability to fermentation efficiency. A model was proposed encompassing rapid nicotinic acid uptake, accumulation during cell proliferation, and recycling with limited vitamin B3 export. This research enhances the understanding of nicotinic acid uptake dynamics during grape juice-like fermentation. These insights contribute to advancing yeast metabolism research and have profound implications for the enhancement of biotechnological practices and the wine-making industry.

    Abstract The alcoholic fermentation of organic carbon sources by Saccharomyces cerevisiae produces many by-products, with the most abundant originating from central carbon metabolism. The production of these metabolites involves redox reactions and largely depends on the maintenance of redox homeostasis. Despite the metabolic pathways being mostly conserved across strains of S. cerevisiae, their production of various amounts of metabolic products suggests that their intracellular concentration of redox cofactors and/or redox balance differ. This study explored the redox status dynamics and NAD(H) and NADP(H) cofactor ratios throughout alcoholic fermentation in four S. cerevisiae strains that exhibit different carbon metabolic fluxes. This study focussed on the molecular end-products of fermentation, redox cofactor ratios and the impact thereof on redox homeostasis. Strain-dependent differences were identified in the redox cofactor levels, with NADP(H) ratios and levels remaining stable while NAD(H) levels decreased drastically as the fermentation progressed.

    Abstract Commentaries on the target article offer diverse perspectives on integrative experiment design. Our responses engage three themes: (1) Disputes of our characterization of the problem, (2) skepticism toward our proposed solution, and (3) endorsement of the solution, with accompanying discussions of its implementation in existing work and its potential for other domains. Collectively, the commentaries enhance our confidence in the promise and viability of integrative experiment design, while highlighting important considerations about how it is used.

    Abstract The effect of confining walls on the fluctuation of a nanoscale thin film's free surface is studied using stochastic thin-film equations (STFEs). Two canonical boundary conditions are employed to reveal the influence of the confinement: (1) an imposed contact angle and (2) a pinned contact line. A linear stability analysis provides the wave eigenmodes, after which thermal-capillary-wave theory predicts the wave fluctuation amplitudes. Molecular dynamics (MD) simulations are performed to test the predictions, and a Langevin diffusion model is proposed to capture oscillations of the contact lines observed in MD simulations. Good agreement between the theoretical predictions and the MD simulation results is recovered, and it is discovered that confinement can influence the entire film. Notably, a constraint on the length scale of wave modes is found to affect fluctuation amplitudes from our theoretical model, especially for 3D films. This opens up challenges and future lines of inquiry.

    Abstract Though mental health and substance use concerns often co-occur, few studies have characterized patterns of co-occurrence among adolescents in clinical settings. The current investigation identifies and characterizes these patterns among adolescents presenting to an outpatient mental health service in Ontario, Canada. Data come from cross-sectional standardized patient intake assessments from 916 adolescents attending an outpatient mental health program (January 2019-March 2021). Latent profile analysis identified patterns of substance use (alcohol, cannabis, (e-) cigarettes) and emotional and behavioral disorder symptoms. Sociodemographic and clinical correlates of these patterns were examined using multinomial regression. Three profiles were identified including: 1) low substance use and lower frequency and/or severity (relative to other patients in the sample) emotional and behavioral disorder symptoms (26.2%), 2) low substance use with higher emotional and behavioral disorder symptoms (48.2%), and 3) high in both (25.6%). Profiles differed in sociodemographic and clinical indicators related to age, gender, trauma, harm to self, harm to others, and service use. Experiences of trauma, suicide attempts, and thoughts of hurting others increased the odds of adolescents being in the profile high in both substance use and symptoms compared to other profiles. These findings further document the high rates of substance use in adolescents in mental health treatment and the profiles generally map onto three out of four quadrants in the adapted four-quadrant model of concurrent disorders, indicating the importance of assessing and addressing substance use in these settings.

    Abstract Physical activity may play a role in promoting or preventing substance use among youth. The purpose of this study was to examine the association between different types of physical activity [i.e., non-competitive school sport, competitive school sport, outside of school sport and minutes of moderate to vigorous physical activity (MVPA) per day] and substance use (i.e., current smoking, e-cigarette, cannabis, binge drinking) among Canadian youth. Interaction effects between physical activity and school connectedness were also examined. Using data from the COMPASS study (2018-19;
