    Abstract Although the marine megafauna often strands on beaches around the world, such as sea turtles and whales, stranding data are poorly managed and incorporated into management and conservation strategies. Here we use a knowledge value chain framework to call attention for the urgent need to improve our data architecture and knowledge management on marine megafauna strandings. We use Brazil, a continental megadiverse federative republic, as study model. After describing the main components and identifying the strengths and weaknesses of the current Brazilian data architecture, we propose 10 practical measures for its improvement involving researchers, companies, non-governmental organizations, legislators, policy makers, public agents, citizen scientists, and local communities. Although Brazil has notable strengths such as comprehensive environmental legislation, hundreds of scientists and dozens of prestigious research institutions, stranding data is not translated into technical-scientific knowledge; technical-scientific knowledge is not transformed into effective public regulations; deficient regulations lead to bad decisions and limited actions, which in turn result in ineffective management and conservation strategies. In light of the UN Decade of Ocean Science for Sustainable Development (2021-2030), we propose (1) expanding standardized beach monitoring projects to the entire Brazilian coast; (2) creating a governmental database with FAIR principles; (3) encouraging the development of broad citizen science initiatives; (4) funding scientists and research institutions; (5) boosting outreach activities among researchers to popularize the scientific knowledge; (6) raising awareness among legislators and policy makers on the problem of strandings; (7) updating the existing legal provisions on the environmental licensing of activities developed at sea; (8) hiring new environmental analysts and inspectors and improving the infrastructure of executing environmental agencies; (9) strengthening existing conservation networks with multiple stakeholders; and (10) making the results of the management and conservation strategies broadly accessible to society. These recommendations may also apply to other coastal countries around the world.

    Abstract Alamandine is a recently described heptapeptide component of the renin-angiotensin system (RAS), and its effects are mediated by the receptor Mas-related G protein-coupled receptor D (MrgD) RAS represents an important link between obesity and its consequences by directly modulating the thermogenesis and brown adipose tissue (BAT) function. The alamandine/MrgD metabolic effects and signaling remain unexplored. In this context, the main goal of the present study was to assess the metabolic consequences of MrgD genetic ablation in C57BL6/J mice by evaluating brown adipose tissue RNA sequencing. The main results showed that MrgD-KO mice have diminished brown adipose tissue and that a high-glucose diet (HG) decreased both circulating alamandine levels and MrgD expression in BAT from wild-type mice (WT). BAT transcriptome reveals that MrgD-KO HG mice regulated 45 genes, while WT HG mice regulated 1,148 genes. MrgD-KO mice fed a standard diet (ST) compared with WT ST mice regulated 476 genes, of which 445 genes were downregulated. BAT uses the MrgD receptor to display a normal pattern of gene expression and to respond, like WT mice, to an HG diet. In conclusion, the MrgD signaling is important for the metabolic regulation and manutention of BAT functionality.

    Abstract In this study, an easy and low-cost production method for a cellulose acetate-based gel polymer containing lithium perchlorate and propylene carbonate is described, as well as the investigation of its properties for potential use as an electrolyte in electrochemical devices. Cellulose acetate, a biopolymer derived from natural matrix, is colourless and transparent, as confirmed by the UV-Vis spectroscopy, with 85 % transparency in visible spectrum. The gels were prepared and tested at different concentrations and proportions to optimise their properties. Thermogravimetry, XRD, and FTIR analyses revealed crucial characteristics, including a substantial 90 % mass loss between 150 and 250 °C, a semi-crystalline nature with complete salt dissociation within the polymer matrix, and a decrease in intensity at 1780 cm

    Abstract With the previous knowledge of the cardioprotective effects of the Angiotensin-(1-7) axis, a agonist of Mas receptor has been described, the CGEN-856S. This peptide is more stable than Ang-(1-7), and has a low binding affinity to Angiotensin II receptors. Although the cardioprotective effects of CGEN-856S were previously shown in vivo, the mechanisms behind its effects are still unknown. Here, we employed a combination of molecular biology, confocal microscopy, and genetically modified mouse with Mas deletion to investigate the CGEN-856S protective signaling in cardiomyocytes. In isolated adult ventricular myocytes, CGEN-856S induced an increase in nitric oxide (NO) production which was absent in cells from Mas knockout mice. Using western blot, we observed a significant increase in phosphorylation of AKT after treatment with CGEN-856S. In addition, CGEN-856S prevented the Ang II induced hypertrophy and the nuclear translocation of GRK5 in a culture model of rat neonatal cardiomyocytes. Blockage of Mas receptor and inhibition of the NO synthase abolished the effects of CGEN-856S on Ang II treated cardiomyocytes. In conclusion, we show that CGEN-856S acting via receptor Mas induces NO raise to block Ang II induced cardiomyocyte hypertrophy. These results indicate that CGEN-856S acts very similarly to Ang-(1-7) in cardiac myocytes, highlighting its therapeutic potential for treating cardiovascular diseases.
