Nutrient/TOR signaling controls adipose mitochondrial transcription factor A (TFAM) to regulate organismal growth in Drosophila

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Animals must match their growth rate to available nutrients. We show that in Drosophila larvae, the nutrient‐sensing TOR kinase controls growth by regulating levels of TFAM, a key regulator of mitochondrial function, in the adipose tissue. When nutrients are abundant, high TOR activity suppresses TFAM, lowering mitochondrial bioenergetic activity and ...

透過社會運動學習：萬華社區大學講師陳情行動歷程之框架理論分析 Learning Through Social Movement: A Study of the Application of Framing Theory in a Petition Process Initiated by Instructors of Wanhua Community College

臺灣教育社會學研究, 2013
本研究採質性研究方法，順著萬華社區大學（後稱社大）講師陳情行動進程，釐清講師們如何透過框架理論操作持續賦予教育局負面評鑑結果另類新意，並藉由擬訂因應策略喚起參與動機，抗議教育局評鑑不公，爭取程序正義。研究發現，社大講師參與陳情行動的主因並非公共理由，而是教育局的污名化評鑑結果與其正向認同與情感落差過大；加上教育局撤銷或接管社大耳語不斷，他校支持者又將社大運作機制結構性問題搬上檯面，更讓講師認定此事出於教育局不公，進而激發其不滿情緒和參與動力。此外，本研究也發現陳情行動的參與 ...

Liver organoids: modelling complexity in homeostasis and disease

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Studying liver in vitro has been challenging because simple 2D cell cultures fail to capture liver's cellular and architectural complexity. To bridge this gap, scientists increasingly use organoids, 3D liver models which better mimic liver composition and function. This review examines recent advances in liver organoid complexity and realism, discusses

Translophagy—A potential link between autophagy impairment and translational errors

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Neurodegenerative diseases are characterised by the accumulation of abnormal proteins and protein aggregates, but their origin often remains unknown. We propose that selective autophagy removes damaged protein‐making machinery, preventing errors during protein synthesis.
