Identification of Alzheimer’s disease brain networks based on EEG phase synchronization by Jiayi Cao, Bin Li, Xiaoou Li

“…Firstly, the acquired EEG data were preprocessed to extract the data in the α-band at 8–13 Hz; secondly, the phase lag index (PLI) and phase-locked value (PLV) were used to construct the brain functional network, and the brain functional connectivity map was visualized by brain functional connectivity analysis. …”

Purging viral latency by a bifunctional HSV-vectored therapeutic vaccine in chronically SIV-infected macaques by Ziyu Wen, Pingchao Li, Yue Yuan, Congcong Wang, Minchao Li, Haohang Wang, Minjuan Shi, Yizi He, Mingting Cui, Ling Chen, Caijun Sun

“…In addition, HSV-ΔICP34.5 enhanced the phosphorylation of IKKα/β through the degradation of IκBα, leading to p65 accumulation in the nucleus to elicit NF-κB pathway-dependent reactivation of HIV latency. Then, we constructed the recombinant HSV-ΔICP34.5 expressing simian immunodeficiency virus (SIV) env, gag, or the fusion antigen sPD1-SIVgag as a therapeutic vaccine, aiming to achieve a functional cure by simultaneously reactivating viral latency and eliciting antigen-specific immune responses. …”

Anthropology as an inspiration to food studies: building theory and practice by Agnieszka Siewicz

“…Early anthropologists, for example, Bronislaw Malinowski and Edward Evans-Pritchard, stressed the social meaning of food while analyzing the outcome of their fieldwork. When the functional approach had been replaced by structuralism, the symbolic meaning of food was given priority. …”
