Culture creation and change
This review presents comprehensive analyses of extant research on culture creation and change. We use the framework of culture creation and change (Kim & Toh, 2019), which consists of three unique perspectives, to understand...
Dynamic and monotonic response of Monopile Foundations for Offshore wind turbines using centrifuge testing
Abstract The seismic response of monopile foundations is a growing area of research as the offshore wind industry expands worldwide, including in earthquake prone regions of the world. This paper...
Comprehensive review on some food-derived bioactive peptides with anti-hypertension therapeutic potential for angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibition
Angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitory peptides have lately attracted interest since functional foods that help maintain homeostatic regulations have been developed. Rarely discussed are the intrinsic ACE-peptide...
Zebrafish neuromesodermal progenitors undergo a critical state transition in vivo.
The transition state model of cell differentiation proposes that a transient window of gene expression stochasticity precedes entry into a differentiated state. Here, we assess this theoretical model in zebrafish neuromesodermal...
Nitric oxide mediates activity-dependent change to synaptic excitation during a critical period in Drosophila.
The emergence of coordinated network function during nervous system development is often associated with critical periods. These phases are sensitive to activity perturbations during, but not outside, of the critical period...

High Aspect Ratio-Nanostructured Surfaces as Biological Metamaterials
Stuart Higgins, Michele Becce, Alexis Belessiotis-Richards, Hyejeong Seong, Julia Sero, Molly Stevens
Mar 05, 2020
Materials patterned with high-aspect-ratio nanostructures have features on similar length scales to cellular components. These surfaces are an extreme topography on the cellular level and have become useful tools for...
Sustainable Conservation of a Difficult Heritage in South Korea
South Korea’s Sorok-do island bears witness to the 100-year history of the Sorok-do hospital and the village for Hansen’s disease (leprosy) patients. All the facilities of Sorok-do were established by the Japanese...
Establishing GPCR Targets of hMAO Active Anthraquinones from Cassia obtusifolia Linn Seeds Using In Silico and In Vitro Methods.
Pradeep Paudel, Su Hui Seong, Fazlin Mohd Fauzi, Andreas Bender, Hyun Ah Jung, Jae Sue Choi
May 13, 2020
The present study examines the effect of human monoamine oxidase active anthraquinones emodin, alaternin (=7-hydroxyemodin), aloe-emodin, and questin from Cassia obtusifolia Linn seeds in modulating human dopamine (hD1R, hD3R...

Relations between the Sizes of Galaxies and Their Dark Matter Halos at Redshifts 0 <z <3
Kuang Han Huang, S. Michael Fall, Henry C. Ferguson, Arjen van der Wel, Norman Grogin, Anton Koekemoer, Seong-Kook Lee, Pablo G. Pérez-González, Stijn Wuyts
Mar 17, 2017
We derive relations between the effective radii R eff of galaxies and the virial radii R 200c of their dark matter halos over the redshift range 0 <z <3. For galaxies, we use the measured sizes...
A contrasting function for miR-137 in embryonic mammogenesis and adult breast carcinogenesis
Jong Min Lee, Kyoung Won Cho, Eun Jung Kim, Qinghuang Tang, Kye Seong Kim, Cheryll Tickle, Han Sung Jung
Sep 01, 2015
MicroRNAs are differentially expressed in breast cancer cells and have been implicated in cancer formation, tumour invasion and metastasis. We investigated the miRNA expression profiles in the developing mammary gland....

Alternative splicing modulation by G-quadruplexes.
Ilias Georgakopoulos-Soares, Guillermo E Parada, Hei Yuen Wong, Ragini Medhi, Giulia Furlan, Roberto Munita, Eric A Miska, Chun Kit Kwok, Martin Hemberg
May 09, 2022
Alternative splicing is central to metazoan gene regulation, but the regulatory mechanisms are incompletely understood. Here, we show that G-quadruplex (G4) motifs are enriched ~3-fold near splice junctions. The importance of...

Oct 09, 2020
The Simpson Golabi Behmel Syndrome (SGBS) pre-adipocyte cell strain is widely considered to be a representative in vitro model of human white pre-adipocytes. A recent study suggested that SGBS adipocytes exhibit an unexpected...

Tissue Mechanics Regulate Mitotic Nuclear Dynamics during Epithelial Development.
Cell divisions are essential for tissue growth. In pseudostratified epithelia, where nuclei are staggered across the tissue, each nucleus migrates apically before undergoing mitosis. Successful apical nuclear migration is...
