Modeling seismic hazard and landslide occurrence probabilities in northwestern Yunnan, China: exploring complex fault systems with multi-segment rupturing in a block rotational tec... by J. Cheng, C. Xu, X. Xu, S. Zhang, P. Zhu

“…Furthermore, we utilized PGA values with the Bayesian probability method and a machine learning model to predict landslide occurrence probabilities as a function of our PGA distribution map. Our findings underscore that the observed combinations of multi-segment ruptures and their associated behaviors were in alignment with the small block rotation triggered by the gravitational collapse of the Tibetan Plateau. …”

Distribution and potential involvement of PTEN in the innate immune response during viral infections in Cherry Valley ducks by Wende Chen, Shaojie Han, Rong Li, Shuo Li, Zhi Cao, Qing Pan, Gen Li

“…IntroductionPhosphatase and tensin homolog (PTEN) is a well-established tumor suppressor gene that antagonizes the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway and plays a critical role in regulating both innate and adaptive immune responses. However, its function in avian species, particularly in ducks, remains largely unexplored.MethodsIn this study, the full-length cDNA of duck PTEN (duPTEN) was cloned from the spleen of healthy Cherry Valley ducks. …”

Immature Skeletal Myotubes Are an Effective Source for Improving the Terminal Differentiation of Skeletal Muscle by Seung Yeon Jeong, Jun Hee Choi, Paul D. Allen, Eun Hui Lee

“…Compared with non-co-differentiated control myotubes, D2-to-D3 co-differentiated myotubes presented increased MyoD and myosin heavy chain II (MyHC II) expression and increased myotube width, accompanied by parallel and swirling alignment. These increases correlated with functional increases in both electrically induced intracellular Ca²⁺ release and extracellular Ca²⁺ entry due to the increased expression of ryanodine receptor 1 (RyR1), sarcoplasmic/endoplasmic reticulum Ca²⁺-ATPase 1a (SERCA1a), and stromal interaction molecule 1 (STIM1). …”
