Exome-wide analysis implicates rare protein-altering variants in human handedness

open access: yesNature Communications
Handedness is a manifestation of brain hemispheric specialization. Left-handedness occurs at increased rates in neurodevelopmental disorders. Genome-wide association studies have identified common genetic effects on handedness or brain asymmetry, which ...

Orientation-dependent handedness and chiral design

open access: yes, 2014
Chirality occupies a central role in fields ranging from biological self-assembly to the design of optical metamaterials. The definition of chirality, as given by Lord Kelvin, associates chirality with the lack of mirror symmetry: the inability to ...

Handedness and Intelligence

open access: yesCortex, 1978
The scores of 37 right and 30 left-handed subjects on tests of fluid and crystallized intelligence were compared. Consistent with the hypothesis, it was found that the left-handers were inferior to the right-handers on the Gf task. These data are consistent with those from three earlier studies and serve to question the assertion that there are no ...

Organizing the interface—Plasma membrane architecture and receptor dynamics in virus‐cell interactions

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Plasma membranes contain dynamic nanoscale domains that organize lipids and receptors. Because viruses operate at similar scales, this architecture shapes early infection steps, including attachment, receptor engagement, and entry. Using influenza A virus and HIV‐1 as examples, we highlight how receptor nanoclusters, multivalent glycan interactions ...

Potential therapeutic targeting of BKCa channels in glioblastoma treatment

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, EarlyView.
This review summarizes current insights into the role of BKCa and mitoBKCa channels in glioblastoma biology, their potential classification as oncochannels, and the emerging pharmacological strategies targeting these channels, emphasizing the translational challenges in developing BKCa‐directed therapies for glioblastoma treatment.

Handedness in autism spectrum disorders and intellectually disabled children and adolescents - Contrasting caregivers’ reports with assessments of hand preference

open access: yesHeliyon
Background: A higher rate of atypical handedness prevalence (non-right-handedness or left-, mixed-hand dominance) has been recurrently reported in individuals diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) compared to individuals with other types of ...

Broadband transparent chiral mirrors: Design methodology and bandwidth analysis

open access: yesAIP Advances, 2019
Chiral mirrors are a class of metamaterials that reflect circularly polarized light of a certain helicity in a handedness-preserving manner, while absorbing circular polarization of the opposite handedness.

The relationship between handedness and academic achievement in high school students of Sanandaj City, Iran

open access: yesChronic Diseases Journal, 2019
BACKGROUND: Academic achievement is considered as one of the main results of the educational system and focusing on factors affecting it is of great importance. The present study was performed with the aim to determine the relationship between handedness

Cell surface interactome analysis identifies TSPAN4 as a negative regulator of PD‐L1 in melanoma

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Using cell surface proximity biotinylation, we identified tetraspanin TSPAN4 within the PD‐L1 interactome of melanoma cells. TSPAN4 negatively regulates PD‐L1 expression and lateral mobility by limiting its interaction with CMTM6 and promoting PD‐L1 degradation.

Degree of handedness, but not direction, is a systematic predictor of cognitive performance

open access: yesFrontiers in Psychology, 2013
A growing body of evidence is reviewed showing that degree of handedness (consistent versus inconsistent) is a more powerful and appropriate way to classify handedness than the traditional one based on direction (right versus left).
