Copyright 2019 NPR. To see more, visit MARY LOUISE KELLY, HOST: This month in All Tech Considered, why everyone wants to break up big tech. From federal regulators to Congress to state attorneys general, everyone seems to be trying to figure out whether major tech companies have gotten too big, too powerful and maybe broken antitrust laws. For clues about what Google and Facebook and Amazon and Apple might face, we're going to take a look back at one of the biggest antitrust cases of the past few decades. (SOUNDBITE OF ARCHIVED NPR BROADCAST) UNIDENTIFIED PERSON: After weeks of mounting tension, today the Justice Department and a coalition of 20 states filed a pair of broad antitrust lawsuits against the world's leading software company Microsoft. KELLY: Now, that is from our show on May 18, 1998. The case had actually started to take shape almost a decade earlier, and the end of it wouldn't come until years later. Well, here to explain the lessons that today's big tech giants can take

In this episode begin with Kieran Tierney's unfortunate Euro 2024 adventure, which was cut short by a serious injury and has significant implications for his future. We also round-up some of the other Arsenal players involved, and chat about comments made by Declan Rice (and others) about criticism from ex-England players, before James outlines the changes he'd make for their final group game on Tuesday evening. There's some transfer chat involving Eberechi Eze, and listener questions about officiating at the Euros, whether any players have caught the eye, possible changes to the coaching staff this summer, why we both would like a player with pace, and lots more, including details of a summer event in Los Angeles.

In this episode I'm joined by Lewis Ambrose to discuss England's 2-1 win over the Netherlands on Wednesday night, which sends them through to the final of Euro 2024. We chat about the goal England conceded, the contentious penalty award which provided the equaliser, the second half in which fatigue clearly played a part for both sides, and how an injection of energy was so important. Should Ollie Watkins goal propel him into the starting line-up for Sunday's clash with Spain? All that, plus a round-up of the Arsenal transfer news.

In this episode of the Arsenal Women Arsecast and the first in our new format. Tim and Jamie break down the starting line-up, the tactical approach and the big moments and incidents in Arsenal’s 2-2 draw against Manchester City at the Emirates. In the second half, there are listener questions on Arsenal’s wayward finishing and whether it is a long term concern, how much is profligacy a coaching issue v a personnel issue, the midfield setup, Kafaji on the wing and how much the game plan v City was a one off versus how things might look longer term.

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is characterized by neuronal loss and accumulation of β-amyloid-protein (Aβ) in the brain parenchyma. Sleep impairment is associated with AD and affects about 25–40% of patients in the mild-to-moderate stages of the disease. Sleep deprivation leads to increased Aβ production; however, its mechanism remains largely unknown. We hypothesized that the increase in core body temperature induced by sleep deprivation may promote Aβ production. Here, we report temperature-dependent regulation of Aβ production. We found that an increase in temperature, from 37 °C to 39 °C, significantly increased Aβ production in amyloid precursor protein-overexpressing cells. We also found that high temperature (39 °C) significantly increased the expression levels of heat shock protein 90 (Hsp90) and the C-terminal fragment of presenilin 1 (PS1-CTF) and promoted γ-secretase complex formation. Interestingly, Hsp90 was associated with the components of the premature γ-secretase complex, anterior pharynx-defective-1 (APH-1), and nicastrin (NCT) but was not associated with PS1-CTF or presenilin enhancer-2. Hsp90 knockdown abolished the increased level of Aβ production and the increased formation of the γ-secretase complex at high temperature in culture. Furthermore, with in vivo experiments, we observed increases in the levels of Hsp90, PS1-CTF, NCT, and the γ-secretase complex in the cortex of mice housed at higher room temperature (30 °C) compared with those housed at standard room temperature (23 °C). Our results suggest that high temperature regulates Aβ production by modulating γ-secretase complex formation through the binding of Hsp90 to NCT/APH-1.
