En voz de uno: fundación e interacción de una cofradía mestiza en el nororiente de la Nueva Granada (1625-1650) by María del Pilar Monroy Merchán

“…A partir del estudio Libro de la Cofradía de la Natividad del pueblo de Moncora, escrito por los curas del pueblo desde 1625 hasta 1805, y el cual se encuentra disponible en el Archivo Histórico Regional de Santander (AHRS), este artículo explora la fundación de un cuerpo corporativo que siguió de manera pragmática las Constituciones Sinodales e instauró el sistema electivo de cargos basado en el reconocimiento de las élites indígenas y españolas, las cuales compartieron la administración económica de la cofradía, la organización de las festividades religiosas y la adecuación de la capilla. El artículo analiza cómo la fundación de la cofradía no respondió a un proceso de coacción de los grupos indígenas por parte del orden hispánico, alejados de esta visión se considera que ambos grupos étnicos “convivieron” en la corporación al identificarse con la lógica de pensamiento subjetivista. …”

METTL3 Promotes Osteo/Odontogenic Differentiation of Stem Cells by Inhibiting miR-196b-5p Maturation by Xiao Han, Guoyue Li, Haoqing Yang, Chen Zhang, Yangyang Cao, Ning Wang, Lihua Ge, Zhipeng Fan

“…In the present study, our data discovered that the knockdown of miR-196b-5p promoted alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity assay, mineralization in vitro, and expressions of osteo/odontogenic differentiation markers DSPP and OCN and enhanced in vivo osteo/odontogenic differentiation of stem cells of the apical papilla (SCAPs). Mechanistically, the results indicated that METTL3-dependent N6-methyladenosine (m6A) methylation inhibited miR-196b-5p maturation by the microprocessor protein DGCR8. …”
