Link to bioRxiv paper: http://biorxiv.org/cgi/content/short/2023.07.20.549932v1?rss=1 Authors: Deal, S. L., Bei, D., Gibson, S. B., Delgado-Seo, H., Fujita, Y., Wilwayco, K., Seto, E. S., Yamamoto, S. Abstract: The dopaminergic system has been extensively studied for its role in behavior in various animals as well as human neuropsychiatric and neurological diseases. However, we still know little about how dopamine levels are tightly regulated in vivo. In order to identify novel regulators of dopamine levels, we utilized Drosophila melanogaster cuticle pigmentation as a readout, where dopamine is used as a precursor to melanin. First, we measured dopamine from classical mutants of genes that are known to be important for cuticle pigmentation to understand the relationship between dopamine levels and cuticle color. We then performed an RNAi-based screen to identify novel regulators of cuticle pigmentation. We identified 153 genes that were not only enriched for conserved homologs and disease-associated genes, but were unexpectedly enriched for multiple developmental signaling pathways and mitochondria-associated proteins. Upon measuring dopamine from 35 prioritized candidates from this cohort, we found 10 that caused significant reduction in dopamine in the head while one caused an increase. While most of these 11 genes are expressed in the fly brain, only two of them, clu and mask, altered dopamine levels specifically in the brain upon knockdown in dopaminergic cells. Interestingly, mask may act as a hub of dopamine regulation since it is associated with three nodes found in our screen (Receptor tyrosine kinase/EGF signaling, Hippo signaling, and mitochondrial dynamics). Further examination suggests that Mask likely acts on dopamine synthesis by regulating transcription of the rate-limiting dopamine synthesis enzyme, tyrosine hydroxylase. In conclusion, this screen identified 11 new regulators of dopamine levels and provides molecular handles to investigate how dopamine levels are controlled in vivo, as well as revealed an unexpected relationship between fly pigmentation genes, developmental signaling and human neurological and neurodevelopmental disease genes.

ABOUT TODAY's EPISODE Following up from last week's episode on the hair cuticle, today's episode focuses on all we can do to preserve the cuticle. If you want to see inches, and you have not been paying attention to the hair cuticle, then this episode is for you. I discuss why the cuticle is important, what is causes damage and steps we can take to preserve it, as long as possible. Cuticle damage will lead to exposure of the hair cortex, leading to split ends and we do not want that! Enjoy and make sure you apply the knowledge. SUPPORT!

In this episode, we move from our usual format to take a deeper dive into what’s happening with COVID-19 and how it’s affecting every aspect of our lives. If you’re worried, well, you’re not alone. We have an open and honest conversation about our fears of the future, one of us getting tested for COVID, and — for the sake of a moment of levity — apocalyptic grooming and the things that are keeping us sane. Some stuff we currently can’t live without: Suddenly Homeschooling?: Masterclass (my kids are loving this, it’s $15 for the whole family — KH) Khan Academy (math and grammar and it’s free — KH & RP) Dominoes (not for the traditional game; let them spend hours making domino runs; plenty of math, creativity, and physics involved! — RP) Clipboards (print out some worksheets and a writing prompt, stick it individual clipboards, and let them work through those at the kitchen table — RP) Apocalyptic Self-care Cuticle butter (removed my gel nail polish myself, DIY nail care here on out — RP) Emery boards  Weleda Skin Food (with all of us washing our hands extra extra, it keeps my hands from feeling like sandpaper — RP) At-home hair dye (COVID won’t catch me with roots — KH) You are the Beloved by Henri Nouwen (a balm to my soul in these trying times — RP) CBD has many benefits, and we are big proponents. But not all CBD is created equal. Unlike other CBD brands, who offer just CBD, Hempfusion is CBD plus omegas plus terpenes plus other natural ingredients to help you feel 100%.

Greetings Gentlemen, this episode today is specifically for you (well some of it can also apply to women), but I'm dedicating this one for you guys out there.   Today is National Men's Grooming Day! My question for you is this:  Do you take good care of your skin?  I'm not just referring to the skin on your face, but the skin on your body, feet, and hands as well?  What about your scalp? Your ears?? If you're saying, "not really", well then listen on.  Today I'm going to cover how we can keep all of the above in great shape and in the process you may actually look years younger.  So listen on.   I've been a makeup artist since I was in my teens and I've been studying skincare since then as well.   I've also studied under the best skin technicians and skincare companies like Estee Lauder's Clinique Brand, MAC and Bobbi Brown.   There's so many ways we can easily take good care of the largest organ in our bodies -- our skin.  First is to know what your skin type is.  There are 5 main skin types:  Normal, Dry, Oily, Combination and Sensitive Skin. With Normal Skin it's just that, no dryness, no shine, no breakouts, etc. Dry skin is when you have flakiness, tightness after you wash your face. Oily skin is when there's too much oil production and you are constantly looking very shiny.  You may even have oily hair.  Combination skin is when your T-Zone (your forehead, nose and chin) may be oily and your cheeks are dry or normal.  Then there's sensitive skin where you find that any harsh chemicals or fragrance can make you break out.   Once you know which skin type you have you can find the ideal products to keep your skin looking it's best.   There are many products and things we can eat every day that can wreak havoc on our skin.  For instance, eating too much sugar, or drinking too many sugary beverages or drinks can irritate our skin by causing breakouts and also will give you wrinkles that much more quickly.  Smoking is another no, no.  It will cause premature aging of your skin.  So, if you're a smoker, think about the benefits of quitting today: Not only will you have less wrinkles in your skin, you'll breathe easier, give your heart a beating chance and not smell like a dirty ashtray AND you won't hurt your loved ones any longer by not giving them second hand smoke (I'm only saying this cause I used to be a smoker myself and I couldn't be happier that I've quit and yes, I know it's one of the hardest things to do but when you do, you'll be amazed at why you never did it sooner). Back to cleaning your skin.  When you don't cleanse your skin with the proper cleansers or you're not using a daily moisturizer it will hinder your skin's collagen production (and we need collagen to keep it's elasticity and to keep wrinkles at bay).  Even if you have oily skin you should use a moisturizer.  Clinique has their yellow famous moisturizer called Clinique's Dramatically Different Moisturizer and there's one for oily skin called the "gel" formulation.   Our skin needs moisturizer so drinking at least 8 tall glasses of water a day will help keep your skin plumped and look less dried out like a raisin.  Instead your skin will look like a peach, firm, fuzzy and beautiful.     When you wash your face, do you just use plain old soap and water?  If so, please stop immediately.  You're drying out your skin.  Try a mild cleanser, moisturizer and a weekly masque. Here are a couple that I really love for men's skin: Clinique's Men's Face Wash Clinique Repairwear Face Masque   Now I know one of the main differences in skin care between men and women is that you have the daily shaving routine.  Or, if you're sporting a beard, there's maintenance there as well.     A few products that I found that men really seem to love are: Bossman Beard Kit Lucky Tiger Moustache Wax Jimmy Beard Oil Beard Clippers & Shears   Now onto hands and feet.  Do you take care of your digits?  Do you work with your hands?  Do you feel getting manicures is too feminine, for girls only?  Well guess again.  I've seen more and more men getting manicures at the salon.  But, if you still feel uncomfortable you can do one for yourself at home.  Here are a couple of products to get you started: Sally Hansen Vitamin E & Cuticle Oil will help keep dry cuticles soft and looking less beat up. And, if you have very dry hand, try  Neutrogena Fast Absorbing Hand Cream  which will help keep your hands soft to the touch.     Let's not forget our tootsies.  We wear shoes that get wet, or, worse, we take showers in lockerrooms at the gyms that aren't always the cleanest of places, where bacteria breeds and the last thing you need is a toe fungus.  If so, this product I've used works quick and is very easy to apply.  Just be sure to dry your feet well, spray it on every day and you'll be amazed that in a few weeks you'll see a huge difference.  Footlogix Fungal Spray  or, if you have cracked heels, this product helps heal them quickly: Footlogix Cracked Heel Formula. Manscaping is the new thing.  Unlike women where we just pop into a salon at any time to get waxing done.  Some of you men out there may not feel as comfortable and one product that you can use at home that is painfree and easy to use is Nair Men's Hair Remover Cream.  Please do a patch test in small area first to be sure you don't have any skin sensitivity or reaction to it.   Don't forget about the hair that grows in the places we don't want hair to grow, for instance, your nose, ears and eyebrows will always need maintenance and care.  Be sure to check out this one tool to help with ease:  Conair Nose, Ear and Eyebrow Trimmer   If you're one who makes a living working outdoors, then you must be sure to protect your skin everyday --even when it's overcast outside, you still can get those nasty damaging rays which will wreak havoc on your skin. Not only can you get skin cancer but also will cause premature aging.  So check out the Neutrogena Sunblock for Sensitive Skin SPF 100     Now, wow, you're probably saying that's a real laundry list.  But, it's not as bad as you think.  The last thing I want you to think of is about smelling nice for your partner.  One of my favorite male scents is Kouros Body Men Spray by Yves St. Laurent   OK guys, you're on your way to looking great, smelling and feeling great.   Rock On & Rock Out, Dawn-Marie XO   Let's Stay in Touch: Instagram Facebook

In this Blast from the Past episode we are turning the time machine back to May of 2007.  First up is Genealogy Gems Episode #11, first published May 07, 2007, which includes two great gems for you: How to Find Pictures from the Past with Google.com, adn a Family History Decoupage Plate Project. This is easy even for you non-crafters out there and the result is an heirloom quality decorative plate that tells an ancestors story. Then in this double header, Genealogy Gems episode # 12, which was originally published on May 13, 2007  features ancestor educational records and my Top 10 Tips for finding the Graduation Gems in your family history. Genealogy Gems Podcast Episode: #11 Original Publish Date: May 07, 2007 GEM #1 – Discover Pictures from the Past with Google One of the easiest ways to find photos on the web is with Google.com.  The ability to focus your search on images is often overlooked.  Let's go over the basics: Go to google.com Notice the search box at the top of the page Above the box reading left to right you will see the word WEB bolded.  This means that when you enter a word or phrase etc you will be searching everything on the web.  To the right of the word WEB is the word IMAGES.  Click on it -  and it will now be bolded. Now when you enter a word or phrase all of your results will come back as images that Google found on the internet.  This could be photos, drawings, graphics, etc. There are additional “modes” you can search in with Google such as video, news, maps, books, etc. but for right now we're going to focus on images. To find photos of specific people try putting their first and last names within quotes (i.e. "laura ingalls wilder"). If you've got a bit more time or a really unusual surname, then you could just enter the name and that should get you started. You can also find photos of old items and places from your ancestor's life such as tombstones, buildings, their hometown, the kind of old car they drove.  If the page containing the full image doesn't come up when you click on the thumbnail, here's what you can do: Use your mouse to highlight the URL website address that appears below the thumbnail and press Control C on your keyboard to copy the address. Click where it says “WEB” above the Google search box to go back to website searches.  Place your curser in the search box by clicking inside it.  Press control V on your key board and that will paste the URL address into the search box. Click the SEARCH button. The first result or two should be from that website that had the image you wanted. Look at the last line of the result for that website and click on the "cache" link. Now you are looking at a cache version, or in other words an older version of the website, hopefully BEFORE the image was removed or moved. By browsing through this version of the website, you will hopefully find the image you are looking for!   GEM #2 – Mother's Day Project – Decoupage plate In my book it's not enough to find wonderful photos on the internet that help tell the story of your family's past, or have a boxful of old family photos.  It's sort of like the old riddle “If a tree falls in a forest with no one to hear it, then does it make a sound?”  If a photo is tucked away in a shoe box, is it adding to the value of your research?  Not in my book. Family History is meant to be shared.  However, I believe wholeheartedly that we, the family historian are not the primary “customer” if you will.   I constantly challenge myself to see my family today as my “customer”.  I want the family's history to be meaningful to them and ignite in them a pride, loyalty and reverence for our family.  So I'm always trying to come up with new ways to share what I've found that they will enjoy. Decoupage Photo Plate: Decoupage was a hot craft for women in the early part of the century, and it's definitely gone through resurgence in the last decade. As I mentioned in a previous episode of the podcast, my mom recently brought me a truckload of family heirlooms.  She and my stepdad have taken the plunge to sell their home and travel in a motor home full time.  When I was preparing for this episode, I went looking for the decoupage plate that I made her a couple of years ago for Mother's Day.  I assumed it was in one of the boxes that she brought me, but I couldn't find it.  When I asked her about it, she said to me, “I gave you your great grandmother's tea set, your grandmother's china, and pretty much everything else I had. But I didn't give you the plate.  I'm keeping THAT!”  Hearing her say that meant as much to me as the plate probably means to her. So may I just say, if you pour some love and time into creating this plate, I guarantee it will be treasured.  Here's the plate I made for my mom:     Wasn't she a cutie patootie?!  I started by selecting photos that told the story of her childhood…at the top is a photo of the house her parents built the year she was born.  Going clockwise, the next photo is her as baby, then as a toddler in her crib with her favorite teddy bear, then as a preschooler in the coat & hat her mother made for her.  In the center is my favorite childhood photo of her, probably just before entering kindergarten.  I love that it's a close up, her BIG brown eyes, and the dainty bows in her hair.  The design in simple, and very focused on its subject matter – my mom! The photos are glued from behind so they show through the glass plate.  I painted the back black, which seemed appropriate for the black and white photos, but it could be gold, or any color you want.  Let's get started making this modern family heirloom. The supplies you need are simple and inexpensive: A clear glass plate with a smooth finish.  You can usually buy these at craft stores, or discount stores very cheap.  Maybe a dollar each.  I got mine at a kitchenware factory outlet.  Make sure you've cleaned it very well before you begin, and that's completely dry. A sponge craft brush A jar of decoupage glue Good, fine paper-cutting scissors.  Cuticle scissors also work very well. Paint – choose a color you would like for the back.  Just a small bottle of acrylic craft paint and A flat paint brush – another option is to use pretty paper or tissue. Clear brush on acrylic varnish if you want a glossy finish on the back. A selection of photos you want to use.  Personally, I like the more monochromatic look – either all color, or all black and white, but you can do whatever looks good to you.  You can also use other images that compliment the photos.  Make copies of the photos.  You can scan them and print them out on paper, or take them to a copy center and color copy them.  Whether you are using color or black and white, you'll want to color copy them to get the best quality.  You can also play around with sizing the photos the way you want them.  While I fit just five on my mom's plate, they are all large enough to be seen clearly, even at a distance when the plate is hanging on the wall.   Experiment with laying out your design to fit the plate.  Keep in mind that the plate likely has some slight curvature to it, so you don't want to just turn it upside down and draw a circle around it, because your design won't end up quite big enough.  Cut your copies a bit larger than the area they are going to cover.  Also, if you want to add any words, now is the time.  You can draw directly on the copy or print out something and cut it to fit.  In my case, felt like a picture was worth a thousand words! When applying the cutouts, you'll be working in reverse: the first images placed on the plate will be in the foreground of the design when viewed from the front of the plate. Start by applying the prominent images to the decoupage medium. Glue the edges firmly to the glass. Turn the plate over to check the placement of images Put a nice even coat of glue on the photo, on the side you want to see. Don't worry about brush strokes, but be careful not to go over it too many times, you don't want the ink to run.  Place the image face down on the back of the plate and spread the glue over the back of the photo. Turn the plate around so you can see the image from the front and work out the air bubbles from behind.  (you can try placing a piece of wax paper over the photo and use a roller  over the wax paper to go over it and smooth it out and get the air bubbles out. Turn the plate over and check the results. Continue place the images until the entire plate is covered. Let it dry (24 hours should do it) Use painters tape to tape off the edges before you apply the acrylic paint to the back of the plate.  Let dry.  Apply a second coat, or sponge on a second color if you want to.  Let dry If you want a glossy finish on the back, apply an acrylic varnish.  Let dry   Genealogy GemsPodcast Episode #12 Original Publish Date: May 13, 2007 TODAY'S GEM – Top 10 Tips for Finding the Graduation Gems in Your Family History 1.  Establish the Timeline:  Check your genealogy database to figure out when your ancestor would have attended school.  I'm going to be focusing on high school, but this could just as easily apply to researching the college years. 2.  Family Papers & Books We always start our research at home, so go through old family papers & books looking for Senior Calling Cards, High School Autograph Books, Journals & Diaries, Senior Portraits, & Yearbooks   3.  Newspapers – Search for announcements,  honor rolls & other articles about end of the year activities.    It's easy to say search newspapers, but it's not always that easy to find them.  So here are some ideas of where to look for historical newspapers… - Ancestry.com ($) - The Local Public Library Website in the town where your ancestor attended school.   Check their online card catalogue, or send them an email to find out if they have the years you are interested in, and to see if they will cooperate with interlibrary loan with your local library.  - The Library of Congress  - Family History Center in Salt Lake City.  Search the Family History Library Catalog online for your ancestor's location to find what newspapers they may have.  - Historical and genealogical societies.  - U.S. state archives and libraries 4.
