The redox function of APE1 is involved in the differentiation process of stem cells toward a neuronal cell fate. by Rossana Domenis, Natascha Bergamin, Giuseppe Gianfranceschi, Carlo Vascotto, Milena Romanello, Silvia Rigo, Giovanna Vagnarelli, Massimo Faggiani, Piercamillo Parodi, Mark R Kelley, Carlo Alberto Beltrami, Daniela Cesselli, Gianluca Tell, Antonio Paolo Beltrami

“…To investigate the involvement of APE1 in the differentiation process, we employed E3330, a specific inhibitor of the APE1 redox function. The addition of E3330, either to the neurogenic embryonic carcinoma cell line NT2-D1or to hAT-MASC, increases the differentiation of stem cells towards a neural phenotype, biasing the differentiation towards specific subtypes, such as dopaminergic cells. …”

A simple pedotransfer function to estimate fine fraction organic carbon contents of surface horizons in French soils by Eva Rabot, Pierre Barré, Claire Chenu, Amicie A. Delahaie, Manuel P. Martin, José-Luis Munera-Echeverri, Nicolas P.A. Saby

“…We used information from the French Soil Quality Monitoring Network (RMQS, 706 observations) and from a literature search (245 observations) to build and validate the pedotransfer function. We used the Random Forest algorithm and partial dependence plots in an exploratory data analysis, to analyze the variables influencing OCfine contents and to study the shape of their relationship with OCfine. …”

Functional Prestige in Sociolinguistic Evaluative Judgements Among Adult Second Language Speakers in Austria: Evidence from Perception by Mason A. Wirtz, Andrea Ender

“…Bayesian multilevel modeling revealed that L2 speakers do not adopt attitudinal patterns suggestive of functional prestige and even appear to reallocate certain constraints on sociolinguistic perception, which seems to depend on individual differences in varietal proficiency.…”
