Lipid composition of cell membranes is linked to metabolic rate and lifespan in mammals and birds but very little information is available for fishes. In this study, three fish species of the short-lived annual genus Nothobranchius with different maximum lifespan potentials (MLSP) and the longer-lived outgroup species Aphyosemion australe were studied to test whether they conform to the predictions of the longevity-homeoviscous adaptation (LHA) theory of aging. Lipid analyses were performed in whole fish samples and peroxidation indexes (PIn) for every PL class and for the whole membrane, were calculated. Total PL content was significantly lower in A. australe and N. korthausae, the two species with the highest MLSP, and a negative correlation between membrane total PIn and fish MLSP was found, this meaning that the longer-lived fish species have more saturated membranes and therefore, a lower susceptibility to oxidative damage, as the LHA theory posits.

The mechanisms that control intrinsic axon growth potential, and thus axon regeneration following injury, are not well understood. Developmental axon regrowth of Drosophila mushroom body -neurons during neuronal remodeling offers a unique opportunity to study the molecular mechanisms controlling intrinsic growth potential. Motivated by the recently uncovered developmental expression atlas of -neurons, we here focus on the role of the actin-severing protein cofilin during axon regrowth. We show that Twinstar (Tsr), the fly cofilin, is a crucial regulator of both axon growth and branching during developmental remodeling of -neurons. tsr mutant axons demonstrate growth defects both in vivo and in vitro, and also exhibit actin-rich filopodial-like structures at failed branch points in vivo. Our data is inconsistent with Tsr being important for increasing G-actin availability. Furthermore, analysis of microtubule localization suggests that Tsr is required for microtubule infiltration into the axon tips and branch points. Taken together, we show that Tsr promotes axon growth and branching, likely by clearing F-actin to facilitate protrusion of microtubules.

The Navi Mumbai Crime Branch has taken over the probe into the death of a 21-year-old man there during the Maratha quota stir last week. During the violence that erupted in Kopar Khairane area of Navi Mumbai during the Maratha reservation agitation on July 25, Rohan Todkar was assaulted by a mob. He later succumbed to his injuries in the state-run JJ Hospital at Byculla in Mumbai on July 27.

An official said that a murder case had been registered at Kopar Khairane police station against unidentified persons. "The case has been handed over to the Navi Mumbai Crime Branch. Investigations into the incident are underway. No arrests have been made so far," Tushar Doshi, Deputy Commissioner of Police (Crime) told PTI.

Todkar's cousin sister, Shital Shinde, speaking to PTI yesterday, had said that Todkar had ventured out, along with his friends, on July 25 and then got caught in the violence. The youth's last rites were carried out in his native Khonavali village in Patan tehsil in Satara district after authorities assured his family that the culprits would be arrested and compensation would be provided.
