Mood and Risk-Taking as Momentum for Creativity

open access: yesFrontiers in Psychology, 2021
This study examined the effects of mood and risk-taking on divergent and convergent thinking using a Q-learning computation model. The results revealed that while mood was not significantly related to divergent or convergent thinking (as creative ...

Three phosphatase families form a community: The phosphohydrolases that act upon inositol pyrophosphates

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Inositol pyrophosphates are energy‐rich signaling molecules that perform critical functions in cells. Three different families of phosphatases hydrolyze the β phosphate of the inositol pyrophosphate molecules: two have narrow specificities and one is promiscuous.

Effectiveness of Paul’s critical thinking model on students’ critical thinking disposition and life skills with regard to the moderating role of divergent and convergent thinking styles [PDF]

open access: yesفصلنامه نوآوری‌های آموزشی, 2014
The aim of this study was the investigation of effectiveness of Paul’s critical thinking model on critical thinking disposition and life skills with regard to the mediating role of divergent and convergent thinking styles.

Modelling stem cell differentiation related processes—A practical overview for biologists

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Stem cell differentiation is complex and difficult to control experimentally. This review introduces suitable computational modelling approaches that can support stem cell research, from mechanistic ODE and abstract models to multiscale and deep learning methods.

AscF in the mycobacterial CIII–CIV supercomplex lacks metal and nucleotide binding but links malate oxidation to respiration

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
The mycobacterial CIII‐CIV respiratory supercomplex is an obligate assembly, encompassing several subunits of unknown functions. We have characterized the intracellular subunit AscF, and show that it is unlikely to be a sensor for metals or nucleotides, but is required for growth on nonfermentable energy sources, and likely works as an adapter for ...

Structure‐forward targeting of claudins with synthetic binders

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Claudins form the paracellular barriers between epithelial and endothelial tissues at tight junctions and are targets for molecular binders with the goal of modulating barrier permeability. Claudin‐binding molecules are relevant in drug delivery or in altering claudin interactions with disease‐causing proteins.

Mind-Focused Interaction: A Convergent Thinking Approach in a Story-Based Detective Game

open access: yesDüzce Üniversitesi Bilim ve Teknoloji Dergisi
This study explores how convergent thinking can be integrated into the game development process in story-driven mystery and thriller themed games. While creating the technical infrastructure, spatial cues, interactive objects and detailed environment ...

Thinking Ahead Towards Converging Perspectives

open access: yesEcology, Economy and Society–the INSEE Journal, 2021
As this issue of the Journal is published, at this crucial juncture in history, when the global pandemic seems to be relentless, the good news is that more holistic thinking and action on environmental issues is emerging all around. The agenda of humanity’s need to deal with climate change immediately has come to the fore.

Tumour–host interactions in Drosophila: mechanisms in the tumour micro‐ and macroenvironment

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, EarlyView.
This review examines how tumour–host crosstalk takes place at multiple levels of biological organisation, from local cell competition and immune crosstalk to organism‐wide metabolic and physiological collapse. Here, we integrate findings from Drosophila melanogaster studies that reveal conserved mechanisms through which tumours hijack host systems to ...

Dimethyl fumarate combined with cisplatin at subcytotoxic doses sensitizes cervical cancer toward ferroptosis and apoptosis through GSH restriction and p53 (re)activation

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Dimethyl fumarate (DMF) reduces growth of HPV‐positive cervical cancer spheroids and induces ferroptosis in cervical cancer cells via blocking SLC7A11/Glutathione (GSH) axis. Combination of subcytotoxic doses of DMF and cisplatin (CDDP) further suppresses spheroid growth and drives cell death in 2D culture models.
