Three research priorities for just and sustainable urban systems: Now is the time to refocus

Now is the time to refocus efforts in urban research and design. A changing climate and extreme weather events are presenting unique challenges to urban systems around the world. These challenges illuminate the social barriers that accompany disruptive events such as resource inequities and injustices. In this perspective, we provide three research priorities for just and sustainable urban systems that help to address these matters. The three research priorities are: (1) social equity and justice, (2) circularity, and (3) digital twins. Conceptual context and future research directions are provided for each. For social equity and justice, the future directions are mandatory equity analysis and inclusionary practices, understanding and reconciling historical injustices, and intentional integration with diverse community stakeholders. For circularity applications, they are better metrics for integration, more robust evaluation frameworks, and dynamic modeling at multiple spatial and temporal scales. Future directions for digital twins include developing principles to reduce complexity, integrating model and system components, and reducing barriers to data access. These research priorities are core to meeting several of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (i.e., 1—No Poverty, 8—Decent Work and Economic Growth, 10—Reduced Inequalities, and 11—Sustainable Cities and Communities). Useful social and technical matters are discussed throughout, where we highlight the importance of prioritizing localized research efforts, provide guidance for community-engaged research and co-development practices, and explain how these priorities interact to align with the evolving field of industrial ecology.

NAC类转录因子在‘砀山酥梨’黄化叶复绿过程中的表达分析

为探讨NAC转录因子在梨缺铁黄化叶复绿过程中的表达特性,并筛选响应该过程的核心NAC因子,以清水处理正常梨树叶片（N）和黄化梨树叶片（C）为对照（CN和CC）,再次探讨了外源0.2% FeSO4溶液对梨缺铁黄化叶复绿和Fe2+积累的影响,研究了其关键PbrNAC基因的生物学性质,组织表达特异性以及复绿过程中的表达模式,并阐述了其与叶内Fe2+积累的关联性。其结果表明,（1）于N和C内共鉴定到含NAM结构域的21个显著差异表达的PbrNAC基因,涉及8个亚族,其长度不均,motif数从4到9不等,内含子数较少。（2）该基因倾向于根中表达,且均可响应缺铁黄化叶的复绿,其中Pbr032231.1/Pbr021393.1/Pbr026635.1/Pbr038615.1/Pbr019210.3/Pbr019212.1/Pbr002372.1这7个基因在CC内的表达量显著低于CN内表达量,且FeSO4处理后,其各时期表达量均较CC显著上调;与之相反,Pbr007284.1/Pbr016205.1/Pbr007673.1等14个PbrNAC基因均在CC内显著高表达,而FeSO4处理后,其各时期表达量总体较CC显著下降。（3）各叶样内Fe2+含量与Pbr007284.1/Pbr016205.1/Pbr007673.1基因的表达量呈显著负相关,且该3个基因的表达与Pbr016932.1/Pbr027956.1/Pbr029956.1/Pbr026635.1等基因的表达显著相关。（4）多数PbrNAC在正常梨树根系和黄化梨树根系中的表达趋势与其在CN和CC内的表达趋势基本一致,说明其在地下部根系与地上部叶内可能存在表达协同性。以上结果表明,梨PbrNAC基因可能与梨树缺铁胁迫响应和缺铁黄化叶的复绿相关,其中Pbr007284.1/Pbr016205.1/Pbr007673.1可能起重要调控作用。     

In situ hybridization of atrial natriuretic peptide mRNA in the endothelial cells of human umbilical vessels

The localization of mRNA encoding preproatrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) was investigated in cultured human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC) and tissue preparations of umbilical vein and artery. The techniques used were in situ hybridization and in situ hybridization combined with immunocytochemistry, using ³²P-radiolabelled and non-radioactive digoxigenin labelled complementary RNA probes. Human ANP mRNAs are mainly localized in the endothelial cells of the umbilical vein and, to a lesser extent, in the endothelial cells of the umbilical artery. The autoradiographic labelling and the intensity of digoxigenin staining were significantly reduced by treatment with RNase before in situ hybridization. This study provides unequivocal evidence for the expression of the ANP gene in the endothelial cells of human umbilical vessels, confirming that these endothelial cells have the ability to synthesize this peptide. The functional significance of the presence of the ANP mRNA in the endothelial cells of human umbilical vessels is discussed.
