Possibilities to adapt oral history to the research of Soviet and post-Soviet epoch (the problems of the culture of memory and the politics of history) by Aurimas Švedas

“…A wider use of oral history in Lithuanian historiography (not only by young historians) should be encouraged by the realization that the researchers of the past who use this "methodical tool" acquire a possibility to compose their own "ideal source" or a block of such sources that would be unique in a quantitative and qualitative sense, determining the process of a particular research and fundamentally influencing its insights, providing answers to the questions that are "suppressed" by other historical sources. …”

Characteristics, location, and usage patterns of resting burrows in Chinese pangolins: Insights from radio-telemetry tracking by Nick Ching-Min Sun, Jing-Shiun Lin, Kurtis Jai‑Chyi Pei

“…To conclude the findings:1) burrow count, while useful for identifying pangolin presence, is not a suitable quantitative indicator of population density. 2) Most resting burrows had compacted soil at the entrance, which could be mistaken for old or inactive burrows in other studies. 3) Resting burrows function as permanent structures that are reused across seasons instead of seasonal adaptations. 4) Preserving low-disturbance habitats will be critical for ensuring sufficient resting burrow sites, thereby supporting the long-term viability of pangolin populations. …”

lncRNA SNHG15 as a ceRNA modulates Osteoclast Differentiation, Proliferation, and Metastasis by Sponging miR-381-3p/NEK2 Axis by YiFan Wang, GuanYin Zhu, Fang Pei, ZhiHe Zhao

“…The expressions of SNHG15, miR-381-3p, and never in mitosis-related kinase 2 (NEK2) mRNA were detected by real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR); Western blot detected NEK2 and osteoclast markers (Cathepsin K, CTSK), matrix metalloproteinase 9 (MMP9), nuclear factor of activated T cell 2 (NFAT2), and tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP) protein levels; cell proliferation was detected by Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK-8), and the formation of osteoclasts was observed by TRAP staining; the F-actin skeleton was stained with tetramethylrhodamine isothiocyanate (TRITC) phalloidin; cell migration rate was detected by Transwell; dual-luciferase reporter gene assay and RNA-binding protein immunoprecipitation (RIP) assay verified the targeting relationship between miR-381-3p, SNHG15, and NEK2. …”
