Selective Activation of Cancer Stem Cells by Size-Specific Hyaluronan in Head and Neck Cancer by Marisa Shiina, Lilly Y. W. Bourguignon

“…Furthermore, our results indicate that the anti-miR-10 inhibitor not only decreases survival protein expression, but also increases chemosensitivity of the 200 kDa-HA-treated CSCs. These findings strongly support the contention that 200 kDa-HA plays a pivotal role in miR-10 production leading to survival protein upregulation and chemoresistance in CSCs. …”

Analysis of the genotype × environment interactions and assessment of the adaptability potential in barley under the conditions of the Northern Trans-Urals by N. V. Tetyannikov, N. A. Bome

“…Barley yield was more closely associated with grain weight per plant (r = 0.72) and the number of productive stems per area unit (r = 0.63), and to a lesser extent with seed germination rate in the field (r = 0.39) and 1000 grain weight (r = 0.37). Strong correlations were observed for the yield with the adaptability coefficient (r = 0.94), environmental plasticity index (r = 1.00), and compensatory capacity (r = 0.96). …”

Surfacing of Latent Time Memories Supports the Representational Basis of Timing Behavior in Mice by Tutku Öztel, Fuat Balcı

“…The original memory representation formed during training with the short interval would not metrically afford such integration and thus result in the formation of a new (mutually exclusive) time memory representation, which does not afford their co-activation during extinction. Our results provide strong support for the representational account of interval timing. …”

A Mutation in DAOA Modifies the Age of Onset in PSEN1 E280A Alzheimer’s Disease by Jorge I. Vélez, Dora Rivera, Claudio A. Mastronardi, Hardip R. Patel, Carlos Tobón, Andrés Villegas, Yeping Cai, Simon Easteal, Francisco Lopera, Mauricio Arcos-Burgos

“…Previous studies have linked polymorphisms in the DAOA gene with the occurrence of neuropsychiatric symptoms such as depression, apathy, aggression, delusions, hallucinations, and psychosis in AD. Our findings strongly suggest that this new conspicuous functional AOO modifier within the G72 (DAOA) gene could be pivotal for understanding the genetic basis of AD.…”

Spatial association network structure of agricultural carbon emission efficiency in Chinese cities and its driving factors by Xu Wei, Bohong Chen

“…Central cities generally exhibit higher efficiency levels, while the surrounding cities tend to have lower efficiency. (2) The carbon emission efficiency of city agriculture in China displays multidimensional, complex, and organic characteristics, with potential for enhanced network stability. (3) Agricultural regions in central and southeastern China dominate the spatial network, while regions with weaker agricultural sectors, like Beijing, Shanghai, and Ningxia, occupy peripheral positions. (4) Within the spatial association network of city agricultural carbon emission efficiency in China, Intra block spatial correlations are low, while interblock spatial correlations are strong, exhibiting significant spillover effects. (5)Variations in agricultural development levels and mechanization significantly enhance the formation of networks related to city agricultural carbon emission efficiency in China. …”
