Cell adhesion and spreading on fluid membranes through microtubules-dependent mechanotransduction by Oleg Mikhajlov, Ram M. Adar, Maria Tătulea-Codrean, Anne-Sophie Macé, John Manzi, Fanny Tabarin, Aude Battistella, Fahima di Federico, Jean-François Joanny, Guy Tran van Nhieu, Patricia Bassereau

“…Unlike SLBs functionalized with RGD peptides, integrin clusters on Invasin-SLBs grow in size and complexity comparable to those on glass. While actomyosin contraction dominates adhesion maturation on stiff substrates, we find that on fluid SLBs, integrin mechanotransduction and cell spreading rely on dynein pulling forces along microtubules perpendicular to the membranes and microtubules pushing on adhesive complexes, respectively. …”

Representing groups of students as personas: A systematic review of persona creation, application, and trends in the educational domain by Ali Farooq, Amani Alabed, Pilira Stella Msefula, Reham AL Tamime, Joni Salminen, Soon-gyo Jung, Bernard J. Jansen

“…Most studies constructed small persona sets—typically four or fewer—focusing on dimensions such as behaviors, beliefs, goals, needs, experiences, perceptions, and demographics, contrasting with larger sets found in industry. Predominantly featured in educational conferences, student personas were employed to (1) understand user needs, goals, and behaviors, (2) support the design and development of learning systems, (3) enhance teaching and learning practices, (4) facilitate persona-based roleplaying, and (5) promote diversity, inclusivity, and accessibility. …”

Causation, trait correlation, and translation: Developmental brain imaging in research on neuropsychiatric conditions of childhood by John N. Constantino, Anna M. Constantino-Pettit
