Impact of greenhouse gas emission, renewable energy, and economic growth on health expenditure in Southeast Asia: A comparative analysis of econometric models by Resa Mae R. Sangco

“…Method — To analyze the relationships among variables, the study employs three econometric models, the Autoregressive Distributed Lag Model, the co-integration Model, and the Quantile Regression Model, using annual data from 2000 to 2020. Findings — The results reveal that greenhouse gas emissions and GDP significantly influence health expenditure in all three models. …”

Mover is a homomeric phospho-protein present on synaptic vesicles. by Saheeb Ahmed, Nina Wittenmayer, Thomas Kremer, Jan Hoeber, Asha Kiran Akula, Henning Urlaub, Markus Islinger, Joachim Kirsch, Camin Dean, Thomas Dresbach

“…Deleting a region required for homomeric interaction abolished presynaptic targeting of recombinant Mover in cultured neurons. Together, these data prove that Mover is associated with synaptic vesicles, and implicate phosphorylation and multimerization in targeting of Mover to synaptic vesicles and presynaptic sites.…”

DC priming by M. vaccae inhibits Th2 responses in contrast to specific TLR2 priming and is associated with selective activation of the CREB pathway. by Nina Le Bert, Benjamin M Chain, Graham Rook, Mahdad Noursadeghi

“…The environmental mycobacterium, M. vaccae has been used in mouse models to support the contemporary hygiene hypothesis that non-pathogenic microorganisms reduce allergy associated T helper (Th)2 responses and inflammatory diseases by augmenting regulatory T cells. However, data for human models and possible mechanisms are limited. …”

Cohesin is required for higher-order chromatin conformation at the imprinted IGF2-H19 locus. by Raffaella Nativio, Kerstin S Wendt, Yoko Ito, Joanna E Huddleston, Santiago Uribe-Lewis, Kathryn Woodfine, Christel Krueger, Wolf Reik, Jan-Michael Peters, Adele Murrell

“…Here we have used chromosome conformation capture (3C) assays and RNAi-mediated depletion of cohesin to address whether cohesin affects higher order chromatin conformation at the IGF2-H19 locus in human cells. Our data show that cohesin has a critical role in maintaining CTCF-mediated chromatin conformation at the locus and that disruption of this conformation coincides with changes in IGF2 expression. …”
