Maintenance of Self-Renewal and Pluripotency in J1 Mouse Embryonic Stem Cells through Regulating Transcription Factor and MicroRNA Expression Induced by PD0325901 by Zhiying Ai, Jingjing Shao, Xinglong Shi, Mengying Yu, Yongyan Wu, Juan Du, Yong Zhang, Zekun Guo

“…Thus, to seek for the crucial miRNA and key regulatory genes that establish ESC properties in MEK/ERK pathway, we performed microarray analysis and small RNA deep-sequencing of J1 mESCs treated with or without PD0325901 (PD), a well-known inhibitor of MEK/ERK signal pathway, followed by verification of western blot analysis and quantitative real-time PCR verification; we found that PD regulated the transcript expressions related to self-renewal and differentiation and antagonized the action of retinoic acid- (RA-) induced differentiation. …”

STRUCTURAL, VIBRATIONAL, OPTICAL, AND MAGNETIC PROPERTIES OF 0-3 TYPE PARTICULATE PbTiO3-NiFe2O4 COMPOSITES by Chung Do Pham, Oanh Thi Mai Le, Minh Van Nguyen

“…The XRD result showed that the lattice parameter a of the PbTiO3 (PTO) phase decreased while lattice parameter c increased after compositing, leading to a decrease in the tetragonal ratio c/a. SEM images indicated that the NiFe2O4 (NFO) crystals that crystallized later are small and adhere to the surface of the large PTO particles. …”

Study of defect formation mechanisms in Li2ZrO3/MgLi2ZrO4 ceramics using EPR spectroscopy by Dmitriy I. Shlimas, Ainagul A. Khametova, Artem L. Kozlovskiy, Maxim V. Zdorovets

“…During the conducted studies, it was established that the addition of the stabilizing MgO dopant results in formation of inclusions in the form of the tetragonal MgLi2ZrO4 phase, which leads to an increase in the resistance of the near-surface layers to destructive damage due to the accumulation of structural damage (oxygen vacancies and point defects), as well as products of the physicochemical processes of radiolysis, characteristic of high irradiation fluence values. …”

Fate erasure logic of gene networks underlying direct neuronal conversion of somatic cells by microRNAs by Kitra Cates, Luorongxin Yuan, Yan Yang, Andrew S. Yoo

“…Leveraging these pan-somatic gene networks, we predict upstream regulators that may antagonize somatic fate erasure. Among the predicted regulators, we identify TP53 (p53), whose inhibition is sufficient to enhance neuronal conversion even in post-mitotic cells. …”

Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus in Saudi Arabia: A Soaring Epidemic by Asirvatham Alwin Robert, Abdulrahman Al-Dawish, Muhammad Mujammami, Mohamed Abdulaziz Al Dawish

“…More alarmingly, the incidence of T1DM among infants is also increasing, with children as young as 6 months succumbing to it, instead of that at a rather established vulnerable age of around seven and near puberty, when the hormones antagonize the action of insulin. These reports pose a unique challenge of developing efficient T1DM management system for the young children. …”
