Critical literacy : the Four Resources model & (teaching) reading
Reading, from a critical literacy perspective, requires that teachers and learners make meaning beyond the text: from decoding, to comprehension, to critical language awareness. Where decoding is related to the technical skills of reading (linking sounds

Knowledge of properties and of the structure of so-called f-cr i t ical groups for a given class f of groups can often help to get detailed information for the structure of those groups, which belong to f . I f f is a class of groups, we say that a group G is f-cri t ical , if G ¢ f , but H ~ f for all proper subgroups H o f G.

'Groups' and the Advent of Critical Race Scholarship [PDF]
This essay reconsiders Owen Fiss's "Groups and the Equal Protection Clause," sometimes described as having instigated critical scholarship in the area of race. It argues that, from a contemporary vantagepoint, the article appears ambivalent in its critical thrust.

Microbiome‐blood–brain barrier interactions in aging — mechanisms and therapeutic potential
Aging reshapes the gut microbiome (↓SCFA‐producing commensals; ↑pro‐inflammatory outputs), shifting circulating metabolites (↓SCFAs; ↑LPS, ↑TMAO, ↑PAA) that act at the BBB to increase nonspecific transcytosis, alter transport, and promote astrocyte reactivity, heightening brain vulnerability.

Structure‐forward targeting of claudins with synthetic binders
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.

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 ...

Engineering peptides into antibodies—opportunities and strategies for therapeutic innovation
Peptides and antibodies occupy complementary therapeutic niches. Peptides recognize difficult targets in a compact format, while antibodies add specificity, long half‐life, and effector functions. This review examines strategies that merge both modalities—peptide grafting into loops, terminal and Fc fusions, and bioconjugation—highlighting how ...

It gladdened my heart when the faculty of organizational leadership at my university agreed to require a course in critical thinking. The evidence had been mounting that one way we could prepare students to participate in leadership without knowing precisely what they would be asked to do in the workplace was to develop their powers of critical ...
