Impact of imitation abilities on social communication in autistic children: evidence from an Early Start Denver Model intervention study

Molecular Autism
Imitation is foundational to early social learning, yet autistic children often exhibit significant impairments in imitation, potentially impacting their social communication skills.

Neonatal Imitation: Theory, Experimental Design, and Significance for the Field of Social Cognition

Frontiers in Psychology, 2017
Neonatal imitation has rich implications for neuroscience, developmental psychology, and social cognition, but there is little consensus about this phenomenon. The primary empirical question, whether or not neonatal imitation exists, is not settled.

Anticipated Imitation Is Not Affected by the Number of Imitators

Experimental Psychology
Abstract: Anticipating to be imitated by another agent primes corresponding action plans in action models. Here we assessed whether being imitated by more than one coactor boosts anticipated imitation. This prediction was based on corresponding findings from motor priming by perceiving rather than anticipating movements of multiple agents. In contrast

Transferrin receptor 1‐mediated iron uptake supports thermogenic activation in human cervical‐derived adipocytes

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
In this study, we found that human cervical‐derived adipocytes maintain intracellular iron level by regulating the expression of iron transport‐related proteins during adrenergic stimulation. Melanotransferrin is predicted to interact with transferrin receptor 1 based on in silico analysis.

Structural insights into an engineered feruloyl esterase with improved MHET degrading properties

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
A feruloyl esterase was engineered to mimic key features of MHETase, enhancing the degradation of PET oligomers. Structural and computational analysis reveal how a point mutation stabilizes the active site and reshapes the binding cleft, expading substrate scope.

PLAIDOYER POUR UN NOUVEAU MOMENT POLITIQUE EN RÉPUBLIQUE DÉMOCRATIQUE DU CONGO [PDF]

Cahiers Africains des Droits de l’Homme et de la Démocratie ainsi que du Développement Durable, 2022
La démocratie est un emprunt de la culture occidentale, elle ne peut faire évoluer les peuples africains. Seul le développement de sa propre culture, un développement adapté au sol, au climat et à la race, constitue pour chaque peuple un progrès ...

pH‐mediated activation of the lysosomal arginine sensor SLC38A9

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Cells monitor nutrient levels via the lysosomal transporter SLC38A9 to activate the mechanistic target of rapamycin complex 1 (mTORC1). This study reveals that SLC38A9 function is regulated by pH. We identified histidine 544 as a critical pH sensor that undergoes conformational changes to control amino acid efflux from lysosomes; therefore, it ...

Imitation Privacy

CoRR, 2020
In recent years, there have been many cloud-based machine learning services, where well-trained models are provided to users on a pay-per-query scheme through a prediction API. The emergence of these services motivates this work, where we will develop a general notion of model privacy named imitation privacy.

Modulation of Homer1 EVH1 domain internal dynamics by putative autism‐associated mutations

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
The putative autism‐associated M65I and S97L variants of the EVH1 domain of the postsynaptic scaffold protein Homer1 do not exhibit substantial changes in their overall structure or partner binding. Both of them, but especially the M65I variant, show altered internal dynamics relative to the wild‐type domain on the μs‐ms timescale, indicated by the ...
