Interactive effects of social media use and puberty on resting-state cortical activity and mental health symptoms by Nathan M. Petro, Giorgia Picci, Lauren K. Webert, Mikki Schantell, Jake J. Son, Thomas W. Ward, Kellen M. McDonald, Cooper L. Livermore, Abraham D. Killanin, Danielle L. Rice, Grace C. Ende, Anna T. Coutant, Erica L. Steiner, Tony W. Wilson

“…Extant literature indicates that using social media promotes social comparison and feedback seeking (SCFS) behaviors in youth, which portend increased risk for mental health disorders, but little is known about its impact on neurobiological development. We assessed social media behaviors, mental health symptoms, and spontaneous cortical activity using magnetoencephalography (MEG) in 80 typically developing youth (8–16 years) and tested how self-reported pubertal stage moderates their relationship. …”

Key Role of Phosphorylation in Small Heat Shock Protein Regulation via Oligomeric Disaggregation and Functional Activation by Zachary B. Sluzala, Angelina Hamati, Patrice E. Fort

“…Unlike other PTMs such as deamidation, oxidation, and glycation—which are often linked to protein destabilization—phosphorylation generally induces structural transitions that enhance sHSP activity. Specifically, phosphorylation promotes the disaggregation of sHSP oligomers into smaller, more active complexes, thereby increasing their efficiency. …”
