Molecular dynamics simulations reveal key roles of the LIF receptor in the assembly of human LIF signaling complex by Bo Gao, Hanrui Liu, Mengkai Zhu, Shun Zhang, Meiniang Wang, Yijun Ruan, Yue Zheng

“…Key residues F178 and K181 in FXXK motif, along with K124 in LIF helix B, mediate hydrophobic interactions, hydrogen bonding and allosteric regulation, collectively stabilizing the LIF-LIFR interaction. We propose that the unique N-terminal extension of LIF enables signaling without requiring the additional receptor subunit beyond gp130 and LIFR, as verified by cell proliferation assays, distinguishing it from other cytokines in the LIF family. …”

On latencies in malaria infections and their impact on the disease dynamics by Yanyu Xiao, Xingfu Zou

“…In both cases, we are able to show that when $\mathcal{R}_0>1$ then the disease will persist; moreover if there is no recovery ($\gamma_1=0$), then all admissible positive solutions will converge to the unique endemic equilibrium. A significant impact of the latencies is that they reduce the basic reproduction number, regardless of the forms of the distributions.…”

Gendered associations of situational and dispositional factors with exclusion from social relations and loneliness in older age by Georgios Pavlidis, Georgios Pavlidis

“…Although the contribution of personality traits and socioeconomic barriers in shaping ESR states in older age are often debated, empirical evidence that addresses their unique contribution is limited. Therefore, the aim of this study was to examine the gender-stratified associations of situational (e.g., marital status, socioeconomic conditions) and dispositional factors (i.e., personality traits) with ESR states and loneliness in older age.MethodsA cross-sectional and gender-stratified secondary analysis of a sample (N = 36,814) from the Survey on Health, Aging, and Retirement in Europe was conducted using logistic regression models.ResultsThe probability of ESR was higher among older men. …”
