Relationship between parent-adolescent discrepancies in educational expectations and academic burnout: A response surface analysis by Xuanye Bai, Youzhi Song, Minlian Liang, Jia Peng, Tingting Ruan, Heping Xie

“…The results showed that when parent-adolescent educational expectations were aligned, an increase in both levels could lead to decreased academic burnout through elevated academic self-efficacy. Conversely, when there was a discrepancy between parent and adolescent expectations, higher expectations from the child compared to the parent could further reduce academic burnout by enhancing academic self-efficacy. …”

Calponin 3 Regulates Myoblast Proliferation and Differentiation Through Actin Cytoskeleton Remodeling and YAP1-Mediated Signaling in Myoblasts by Mai Thi Nguyen, Quoc Kiet Ly, Thanh Huu Phan Ngo, Wan Lee

“…According to a flow cytometry analysis, CNN3-deficient cells displayed higher S and G2/M phase fractions, which concurred with elevated proliferation rates. Furthermore, CNN3 knockdown impaired myogenic differentiation, as evidenced by reduced levels of MyoD, MyoG, and MyHC, key markers of myogenic commitment and maturation, and immunocytochemistry showed that myotube formation was diminished in CNN3-suppressed cells, which was supported by lower differentiation and fusion indices. …”
