Dynamic Geometry Software and Mechanical Linkages [PDF]
, 2002 Widespread interest has arisen in the use of dynamic geometry software as a constructivist learning tool. However, the software has been accused of contributing to an empirical, data-collecting approach to geometry, where students have little or no understanding of deductive reasoning.

ERBIN limits epithelial cell plasticity via suppression of TGF‐β signaling
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.In breast and lung cancer patients, low ERBIN expression correlates with poor clinical outcomes. Here, we show that ERBIN inhibits TGF‐β‐induced epithelial‐to‐mesenchymal transition in NMuMG breast and A549 lung adenocarcinoma cell lines. ERBIN suppresses TGF‐β/SMAD signaling and reduces TGF‐β‐induced ERK phosphorylation.

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) is a genetic disease affecting motor neurons. Individuals with SMA experience mitochondrial dysfunction and oxidative stress. The aim of the study was to investigate the effect of an antioxidant and neuroprotective substance, ergothioneine (ERGO), on an SMNΔ7 mouse model of SMA.
