Headbobber: a combined morphogenetic and cochleosaccular mouse model to study 10qter deletions in human deafness. by Annalisa Buniello, Rachel E Hardisty-Hughes, Johanna C Pass, Eva Bober, Richard J Smith, Karen P Steel

“…We use Trp2 as a marker of melanoblasts migrating from the neural crest at E12.5 and show that they do not interdigitate into the developing strial epithelium, associated with abnormal persistence of the basal lamina in the hb/hb cochlea. We perform array CGH, deep sequencing as well as an extensive expression analysis of candidate genes in the headbobber region of hb/hb and littermate controls, and conclude that the headbobber phenotype is caused by: 1) effect of a 648 kb deletion on distal Chr7, resulting in the loss of three protein coding genes (Gpr26, Cpmx2 and Chst15) with expression in the inner ear but unknown function; and 2) indirect, long range effect of the deletion on the expression of neighboring genes on Chr7, associated with downregulation of Hmx3, Hmx2 and Nkx1.2 homeobox transcription factors. …”

Efficient base metal exploration in northern New Brunswick, Canada through a hybrid ANN integrated with ABC and PSO methods by Claire Dusabemariya, Wei Qian, Romuald Bagaragaza, Ajibola Richard Faruwa, Ali Mossad

“…Field data were collected from the Nash Creek region in New Brunswick, Canada, utilizing electromagnetic (EM) surveys and Direct Current/Induced Polarization (DC/IP) methods across six survey lines configured with a Wenner array and 10-m electrode spacing. The results demonstrate that the hybrid model significantly outperforms traditional 2D resistivity inversion methods, effectively mapping mineralization zones characterized by low resistivity (< 50 Ω·m) and high chargeability Because the region is characterized by a significant glacial overburden and minimal outcrop exposure, verification was conducted using borehole drilling and core sampling within the western part of the study area. …”

Resistance to spindle inhibitors in glioblastoma depends on STAT3 and therapy induced senescence by Natanael Zarco, Athanassios Dovas, Virginea de Araujo Farias, Naveen K.H. Nagaiah, Ashley Haddock, Peter A. Sims, Dolores Hambardzumyan, Christian T. Meyer, Peter Canoll, Steven S. Rosenfeld, Rajappa S. Kenchappa

“…Treating glioblastomas with the spindle inhibitors ispinesib, alisertib, or volasertib creates a subpopulation of therapy induced senescent cells that resist these drugs by relying upon the anti-apoptotic and metabolic effects of activated STAT3. Furthermore, these senescent cells expand the repertoire of cells resistant to these drugs by secreting an array of factors, including TGFβ, which induce proliferating cells to exit mitosis and become quiescent—a state that also resists spindle inhibitors. …”
