Diversification and recurrent adaptation of the synaptonemal complex in Drosophila. by Rana Zakerzade, Ching-Ho Chang, Kamalakar Chatla, Ananya Krishnapura, Samuel P Appiah, Jacki Zhang, Robert L Unckless, Justin P Blumenstiel, Doris Bachtrog, Kevin H-C Wei

“…Acting like a zipper to paired homologous chromosomes during early prophase I, the complex is a symmetrical structure where central elements are connected on two sides by the transverse filaments to the chromatin-anchoring lateral elements. Despite being found in most major eukaryotic taxa implying a deeply conserved evolutionary origin, several components of the complex exhibit unusually high rates of sequence turnover. …”

Inhibition of hippocampal interleukin-6 receptor-evoked signalling normalises long-term potentiation in dystrophin-deficient mdx mice by Kimberley A. Stephenson, Aaron Barron, Mark G. Rae, Dervla O'Malley

“…In non-contracting cells, such as neurons, dystrophin is likely to have a functional role in synaptic plasticity, anchoring post-synaptic receptors. Dystrophin-expressing hippocampal neurons are key to cognitive functions such as emotions, learning and the consolidation of memories. …”

The Content-Validated Geometry Lessons in Islam Observed Brain-based Learning by Sherma O. Sappari, Florante P. Ibarra, Amirul Mukminin, Kasinyo Harto, Lenny Marzulina, Herri Mulyono, Asmendri Asmendri

“… This study examined the process of learning geometry in content-validated lessons with the integration of Islamic values as perceived to have observed brain-based learning principles. Anchored in a grounded theory, theoretical sampling was utilized among sixteen 4th and 5th grade students in geometry class including three teacher-observers and one teacher-demonstrator playing the “emic-etic” role or participant observer. …”

From Silos to Synergy: Conceptualizing an integrated infrastructure design for climate resilience in Rotterdam by Angela Ordóñez Llancce, Yirang Lim, Theresa Audrey O. Esteban, Joep van Leeuwen, Johan Ninan

“…In recent years, municipalities have been recognised for their crucial role in protecting cities from climate change impacts by adopting mitigative and adaptive strategies to enhance climate resilience. However, anchoring these strategies demands multiple interventions, which are often hindered by the current siloed organization of departments and disciplines. …”

Molecular genetic basis of epidermolysis bullosa by Yu. Yu. Kotalevskaya, V. A. Stepanov

“…To date, pathogenic variants in 16 different genes are associated with EB and encode proteins that are part of the skin anchoring structures or are signaling proteins. Genetic mutations cause dysfunction of cellular structures, differentiation, proliferation and apoptosis of cells, leading to mechanical instability of the skin. …”

Entanglement negativity and replica symmetry breaking in general holographic states by Xi Dong, Jonah Kudler-Flam, Pratik Rath

“…For k < 1, which includes the case of E $$ \mathcal{E} $$ (A : B) at k = 1/2, we use a modified cosmic brane proposal to derive a new holographic prescription for E 2 k $$ {\mathcal{E}}^{(2k)} $$ and show that it is given by a new saddle with multiple cosmic branes anchored to subregions A and B in the original state. …”

Altering the intracellular trafficking of Necator americanus GST-1 antigen yields novel hookworm mRNA vaccine candidates. by Athos Silva De Oliveira, Leroy Versteeg, Neima Briggs, Rakesh Adhikari, Maria Jose Villar, JeAnna R Redd, Peter Hotez, Maria Elena Bottazzi, Jeroen Pollet

“…<h4>Methodology/findings</h4>By leveraging the flexible design of RNA vaccines and protein intracellular trafficking signal sequences, we developed three variants of Na-GST-1 as native (cytosolic), secretory, and plasma membrane-anchored (PM) antigens. After one immunization in mice, mRNA vaccines induced an earlier onset of antigen-specific antibodies compared to rNa-GST-1. …”

Akt/p27kip1 Pathway Is Not Involved in Human Insulinoma Tumorigenesis by Adriana Graciela Díaz, Andrea Paes de Lima, Paula Garibaldi, Maria de los Milagros Rubio, Florencia García, Marta Kral, Oscar D. Bruno

“…Cytoplasmic p27kip1 in both insulinomas and normal islet cells could reflect the low rate of replication of beta cells, while nuclear p27kip1 would seem to indicate stabilization and nuclear anchoring of the cyclin D-Cdk4 complex. Our data seem to suggest that the Akt pathway is not involved in human insulinoma tumorigenesis.…”
