LINC00941 affects the proliferation, apoptosis and differentiation of osteoblasts by regulating the miR-335-5p/KAT7 axis by Longjin Liu, Ye Yang, Pengxiao Sun

“…Result The expression of LINC00941 was significantly up regulated, while miR-335-5p exhibited a notable downregulation in DFH patients, both of LINC00941 and miR-335-5p have been identified as potential predicted markers for DFH. Furthermore, LINC00941 has been demonstrated to inhibit osteoblast proliferation, promote apoptosis, and suppress osteoblast differentiation through the regulation of the miR-335-5p/KAT7 axis. …”

Hunting for Cold Exoplanets via Microlensing by Beaulieu, Jean-Philippe

“…It is the only method currently probing exoplanets in the Earth-Saturn mass range beyond the snow line, where the core accretion theory originally predicted that most massive planets would form. Although the number of detected planets is relatively modest ($\sim $130 planets to date) compared to that discovered by radial velocity and transit methods, microlensing probes a part of the parameter space (host separation as a function of planet mass), which is mostly not accessible in the medium term to any other technique. …”

Effect of short basalt fibers on energy-dissipating properties of lightweight rubberized concrete shear wall by Artem Zaitsev, Evgenii Matiushin, Victoria Shvetsova, Alexander Burukhin, Stepan Konev, Radmir Karamov, Skolkovo Institute of Science and Technology, Moscow – 121205, Russia.

“…A cyclic pushover analysis of the shear wall has been conducted to characterize its hysteretic behavior and energy dissipation for two consecutive concrete series, predicting long-term seismic performance. The concrete series with basalt fiber exhibited higher seismic resilience with hysteretic damping of 9.3% compared to 8.7% for the series without basalt fibers.…”
