Galectin-10 Characterization in Cleft Lip Palate – Affected Palatal Tissue by Alise Elizabete Rone, Mara Pilmane

“…The nearly total absence of Gal-10 in the healthy palate with an increase of its expression in the palatal epithelium from the milk to mixed dentition age of cleft-affected children suggests the possible role of this factor in providing the local defense function and the epithelium barrier function. The palatal muscles are not the main place for Gal-10 expression either in healthy or in cleft condition-affected individuals. …”

Decentralized optimization for coordinated participation of local energy communities in ancillary services markets with desired energy sharing and costs by Pierluigi Siano, Marialaura Di Somma, Mohammad Dolatabadi

“…P2P energy exchanges in each LEC tend to reduce energy costs and increase the self-consumption rate, while their impact on the provided flexibility depends on PV energy production. Under a coordinated management obtained with the proposed decentralized optimization, each LEC’s objective function remains within roughly 1 % of its ideal solution. …”

Iron–Immune Crosstalk at the Maternal–Fetal Interface: Emerging Mechanisms in the Pathogenesis of Preeclampsia by Jieyan Zhong, Ruhe Jiang, Nan Liu, Qingqing Cai, Qi Cao, Yan Du, Hongbo Zhao

“…We outline their origin, distribution, and polarization in pregnancy, and emphasize their aberrant phenotype and function in PE. The bidirectional crosstalk between iron and macrophages is also dissected: iron shapes macrophage polarization and function, while macrophages reciprocally modulate iron homeostasis. …”

The relationship between attentional control and injury-related biomechanics in young female volleyball players by Ivana Hanzlíková, Karolína Válová, Michal Lehnert, Martin Dvořáček, Elisa Doleželová, Adam Grinberg

“…When age was not accounted for, additional moderate negative correlations were observed between congruent and incongruent reaction times and leg stiffness, as well as with RSI.ConclusionWhile response inhibition was positively associated with dynamic balance, other biomechanical measures, seemed to follow a more age-dependent developmental trajectory. Among injury-related biomechanical risks, only dynamic balance can thus be considered more related to neurocognitive function. …”

Knockout of AMPA receptor binding protein Neuron-specific gene 2 (NSG2) enhances associative learning and cognitive flexibility by Amber J. Zimmerman, Antonio Serrano-Rodriguez, Melody Sun, Sandy J. Wilson, David N. Linsenbardt, Jonathan L. Brigman, Jason P. Weick

“…Abstract The vast majority of gene mutations and/or gene knockouts result in either no observable changes, or significant deficits in molecular, cellular, or organismal function. However, in a small number of cases, mutant animal models display enhancements in specific behaviors such as learning and memory. …”
