The uncanny valley effect and immune activation in virtual reality

Scientific Reports
The uncanny valley effect describes a phenomenon where humanoid, almost lifelike virtual agents evoke feelings of discomfort in the observers. The Pathogen Avoidance Hypothesis proposes that these feelings are based on a cognitive mechanism that ...

Effects of violet light exposure on aging dogs: a pilot study

Frontiers in Veterinary Science
Aging in dogs is known to induce various physical and brain alterations similar to dementia in humans. Concurrently with the recent extension of canine life expectancy, these age-related changes have imposed growing burdens on both dogs and their owners,

Oncogenic DMTF1β promotes cancer cell motility by regulating autophagy through ULK1 stabilization

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
In the current study, we demonstrate that the oncogene DMTF1β regulates ULK1 stability by reducing its proteasomal degradation in cancer cells. This stabilization enables ULK1 to induce autophagy, which in turn facilitates cancer cell migration. Consequently, reduced DMTF1β levels lead to decreased autophagy and impaired cancer cell migration.

The Dog and Pony Show: A Critique of Human Animal Interaction Research [PDF]

, 2015
The scientific evidence supporting certain foundational anthrozooligical assertions regarding the human-animal bond is inadequate to support the definitional human to nonhuman-animal bond phenomenon defined as—a unique, bilateral benefit derived from ...

PAK1 activation drives divergent resistance mechanisms to aromatase inhibition and tamoxifen in a luminal: A breast cancer model

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Breast cancer remains a major cause of cancer death in women, frequently developing endocrine therapy resistance. This study demonstrates that upregulated p21‐activated kinase 1 (PAK1) activity drives resistance to tamoxifen and long‐term estrogen deprivation in ER+ breast cancer models.

Navigating the nuances of studying animal facial behaviors with Facial Action Coding Systems

Frontiers in Ethology
Facial Action Coding Systems (FACS) are some of the most systematic and standardized methods for studying the physical aspects of animal facial behavior. Although FACS manuals provide some guidance on how to implement their coding system, they often lack

Spatial and single‐nuclei transcriptomics reveals idiosyncratic and generic patterns in papillary and anaplastic thyroid cancers

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Matched spatial transcriptomics and single‐nuclei RNA‐seq were generated for anaplastic and BRAFV600E papillary thyroid cancers revealing generic and tumor‐specific states occurring in cancer cells and in the tumor microenvironment. In this context, cancer dedifferentiation mirrored organoid maturation through ordered thyroid marker gain/loss ...
