Inducible and reversible Clock gene expression in brain using the tTA system for the study of circadian behavior. by Hee-Kyung Hong, Jason L Chong, Weimin Song, Eun Joo Song, Amira A Jyawook, Andrew C Schook, Caroline H Ko, Joseph S Takahashi

“…The mechanism of circadian oscillations in mammals is cell autonomous and is generated by a set of genes that form a transcriptional autoregulatory feedback loop. While these "clock genes" are well conserved among animals, their specific functions remain to be fully understood and their roles in central versus peripheral circadian oscillators remain to be defined. …”

Navigating Complexity: Lessons Learned from Co-Designing a Care Transition Intervention for People with Stroke by Sebastian Lindblom, Charlotte Ytterberg, Ann Charlotte Laska, Malin Tistad, Marie Elf, Lena von Koch, Maria Flink

“…Conclusion: Challenges in achieving shared understanding throughout the project underline the importance of investing in relationship building, meaningful interaction, and continuous feedback loops. While the MRC framework provides guidance for developing complex interventions, the phased approach may only partially capture the emergence and self-organisation within complex adaptive systems.…”

Cooperativity dominates the genomic organization of p53-response elements: a mechanistic view. by Yongping Pan, Ruth Nussinov

“…Clearly, given the double helical DNA conformation, the orientation of two p53 core domain dimers with respect to each other will vary depending on the spacer size: a small spacer of 0 to 2 bps will lead to the closest p53 dimer-dimer orientation; a 10-bp spacer will locate the p53 dimers on the same DNA face but necessitate DNA looping; while a 5-bp spacer will position the p53 dimers on opposite DNA faces. …”
