Cultures as networks of cultural traits: A unifying framework for measuring culture and cultural distances [PDF]
, 2020 Making use of the information from the World Value Survey (WVS), and operationalizing a definition of national culture that encompasses both the relevance of specific cultural traits and the interdependence among them, this paper proposes a methodology to reveal the latent structure of national culture and to measure cultural distance between countries

Macrophage‐derived MLKL in alcohol‐associated liver disease: Regulation of phagocytosis
Hepatology, EarlyView., 2022 EtOH causes leaky gut allowing bacteria and PAMPs into the liver, resulting in hepatic inflammation and injury. We demonstrate that LPS induces STAT1‐mediated expression and phosphorylation of MLKL in macrophages and identify a novel function that myeloid MLKL translocates to phagosomes and lysosomes and regulates phagocytosis, which contributes to the

Segmental migration of trunk neural crest: time-lapse analysis reveals a role for PNA-binding molecules [PDF]
, 1995 Trunk neural crest cells migrate through the somites in a striking segmental fashion, entering the rostral but not caudal sclerotome, via cues intrinsic to the somites.

The NADPH oxidase NOX4 regulates redox and metabolic homeostasis preventing HCC progression
Hepatology, EarlyView., 2022 Loss of NOX4 in HCC tumor cells induces metabolic reprogramming in a Nrf2/MYC‐dependent manner to promote HCC progression. Abstract Background and Aims The NADPH oxidase NOX4 plays a tumor‐suppressor function in HCC. Silencing NOX4 confers higher proliferative and migratory capacity to HCC cells and increases their in vivo tumorigenic potential in ...

Cultivar, explant type and culture medium influencing embryogenesis and organogenegenesis in Anthurium spp. [PDF]
Songklanakarin Journal of Science and Technology (SJST), 2006 The effect of cultivars, culture media, explant type and wounding on culture response of anthurium were studied. Valantino gave the highest callus formation (83.73%) significantly different from Sonat (78.73%) and Plew Thien Phuket (45.66%).

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.Breast cancer metastasis is associated with myeloid cell dysregulation and the lung‐specific accumulation of tumor‐supportive Gr1+ cells. Gr1+ cells support metastasis, in part, through a CHI3L1‐mediated mechanism, which can be targeted and inhibited with cargo‐free, polymeric nanoparticles.

Destabilization of mutated human PUS3 protein causes intellectual disability
Human Mutation, Volume 43, Issue 12, Page 2063-2078, December 2022., 2022 The homodimer of pseudouridine synthase 3 converts uridines at position 39 in tRNAs to pseudouridine (ψ), which affects tRNA stability and regulates RNA–protein interactions. Several patient‐derived variants of PUS3 have been associated with neurodegenerative diseases.
