Identification of a Shiga toxin A‐derived peptide internalized into Gb3 receptor‐bearing cells via interaction with the Shiga toxin B subunit

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
The process of internalization of the Shiga toxin A subunit via formation of a complex with the Shiga toxin B subunit, which specifically binds to the Gb3 receptor. The peptide is designed to act as a carrier of drugs into cancer cells. Here, we explored the potential of peptides derived from the catalytic A subunit of Shiga toxin (STxA) to be drug ...

Fear conditioning- and extinction-induced neuronal plasticity in the mouse amygdala [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
Experience-dependent changes in behavior are mediated by long-term functional modifications in brain circuits. To study the underlying mechanisms, our lab is using classical auditory fear conditioning, a simple and robust form of associative learning. In

Assessing thought conditioning: investigating measurement approaches and the impact of higher-order conditioning

open access: yesActa Psychologica
Recent studies suggest that thought content can be shaped through Pavlovian procedures. This experimental study aimed to investigate whether conditioned reports of thought content can be detected using alternative measures beyond rating scales, including

'Man is the Measure of All Things'

open access: yesFootprint, 2019
The term Man, and the humanist tradition which followed from it, have been challenged in feminist, queer, poststructuralist, and postcolonial critiques, which questioned its nature, or even pondered if we are actually human. What we seek in this issue of

Investigating transcription factor dynamics in health and disease using FRAP

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
FRAP analysis of GFP‐tagged transcription factors reveals how molecular mobility and target engagement change in response to drug treatment. By combining live‐cell imaging, quantitative model fitting, and statistical analysis, this approach uncovers transcription factor dynamics linked to disease mechanisms, providing a powerful framework for ...

Conserved binding mode but diverse interfaces of MreC‐PBP2 interactions

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
The crystal structure of abMreC reveals a conserved two β‐barrel architecture and provides structural insights into its role within the bacterial elongasome. The abMreC–abPBP2 complex model identifies the molecular basis of MreC‐mediated PBP2 recognition, contributing to the regulation of peptidoglycan synthesis.

Profiling mouse behavior with computational tools to assess age-dependent differences in associative learning

open access: yesCell Reports: Methods
Summary: Second-order conditioning (SOC) enables animals to form associations between stimuli without direct reinforcement. In this study, we present a behavioral analysis pipeline that combines a light-tone SOC paradigm in mice with tools such as ...

Microbiome‐blood–brain barrier interactions in aging — mechanisms and therapeutic potential

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Aging reshapes the gut microbiome (↓SCFA‐producing commensals; ↑pro‐inflammatory outputs), shifting circulating metabolites (↓SCFAs; ↑LPS, ↑TMAO, ↑PAA) that act at the BBB to increase nonspecific transcytosis, alter transport, and promote astrocyte reactivity, heightening brain vulnerability.

Energy efficiency and economic impact investigations for air-conditioners using wireless sensing and actuator networks

open access: yesEnergy Reports, 2018
Air conditioning systems accountable a huge amount of energy consumption, the purpose of this work is to inspect the energy efficiency and the economic impact for air-conditioners using Wireless Sensing and Actuator Networks.

SECOND‐ORDER SCHEDULES AND THE PROBLEM OF CONDITIONED REINFORCEMENT [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of the Experimental Analysis of Behavior, 1971
Thirteen pigeons were exposed to a variety of second‐order schedules in which responding under a component schedule was reinforced according to a schedule of reinforcement. Under different conditions, completion of each component resulted in either (1) the brief presentation of a stimulus also present during reinforcement (pairing operation), (2) the ...
