The deep-sea brines of the Red Sea are remote and unexplored environments characterized by high temperatures, anoxic water, and elevated concentrations of salt and heavy metals. This environment provides a rare system to study...
Mannan binding lectin-associated serine protease-2 (MASP-2) critically contributes to post-ischemic brain injury independent of MASP-1.

BACKGROUND: Complement activation via the lectin activation pathway (LP) has been identified as the key mechanism behind post-ischemic tissue inflammation causing ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI) which can significantly impact...
Five-dimensional path integrals for six-dimensional conformal field theories
In this paper we derive Ward-Takahashi identities from the path integral of
supersymmetric five-dimensional field theories with an $SU(1,3)$ spacetime
symmetry in the presence of instantons. We explicitly show how $SU(1,3)$...

A Cyan Fluorescent Reporter Expressed from the Chloroplast Genome of Marchantia polymorpha.
Recently, the liverwort Marchantia polymorpha has received increasing attention as a basal plant model for multicellular studies. Its ease of handling, well-characterized plastome and proven protocols for biolistic plastid...
An Item Response Theory Approach to Enhance Peer Assessment Effectiveness in Massive Open Online Courses
Massive open on-line courses (MOOCs) are effective and flexible resources to educate, train, and empower populations. Peer assessment (PA) provides a powerful pedagogical strategy to support educational activities and foster...

Validation of a desktop-Type magnet providing a quasi-microgravity space in a room-Temperature bore of a high-gradient trapped field magnet (HG-TFM)
Abstract
The concept of a high-gradient trapped field magnet (HG-TFM), which incorporates a hybrid system of two (RE)BaCuO superconducting bulk components with different functions...
Separation in the visual field has divergent effects on discriminating the speed and the direction of motion.
Local motion in a visual scene allows the detection of prey or predator and predicts their future positions. Relative motion segregates objects and reveals their 3D relationships. 'Optic flow' - the motion of texture across the...
A conceptual study of a high gradient trapped field magnet (HG-TFM) toward providing a quasi-zero gravity space on Earth
Abstract: In this work, we propose a new concept of a high gradient trapped field magnet (HG-TFM). The HG-TFM is made from (RE)BaCuO bulk superconductors, in which slit ring bulks (slit-TFMs) are tightly stacked with TFM...
How does the human visual system compare the speeds of spatially separated objects?
We measured psychophysical thresholds for discriminating the speeds of two arrays of moving dots. The arrays could be juxtaposed or could be spatially separated by up to 10 degrees of visual angle, eccentricity being held...
Flux jump-assisted pulsed field magnetisation of high-$J_c$ bulk high-temperature superconductors
Investigating, predicting and optimising practical magnetisation techniques for charging bulk superconductors is a crucial prerequisite to their use as high performance ‘psuedo’ permanent magnets. The leading technique for such...

Intracisternal A-particles (IAPs) are endogenous retroviruses (ERVs) responsible for most insertional mutations in the mouse. Full-length IAPs harbour genes flanked by long terminal repeats (LTRs). Here, we identify a solo LTR...

The Vesicle Priming Factor CAPS Functions as a Homodimer via C2 Domain Interactions to Promote Regulated Vesicle Exocytosis.
Matt Petrie, Joseph Esquibel, Greg Kabachinski, Stephanie Maciuba, Hirohide Takahashi, J Michael Edwardson, Thomas FJ Martin
Sep 20, 2018
Neurotransmitters and peptide hormones are secreted by regulated vesicle exocytosis. CAPS (also known as CADPS) is a 145-kDa cytosolic and peripheral membrane protein required for vesicle docking and priming steps that precede...
Crystallinity of Double-Stranded RNA-Antimicrobial Peptide Complexes Modulates Toll-Like Receptor 3-Mediated Inflammation.
Ernest Y Lee, Toshiya Takahashi, Tine Curk, Jure Dobnikar, Richard L Gallo, Gerard CL Wong
Jan 22, 2018
Double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) induces production of pro-inflammatory cytokines in normal human epidermal keratinocytes (NHEK) by specific binding to endosomal Toll-like receptor-3 (TLR3). Recently, it has been shown that...
