Residual tail twisting in ascidian larvae is stabilized by asymmetric myofibrils that resist bilateral symmetry restoration

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Ascidian Ciona larvae initially show strong clockwise tail twisting, which is largely corrected during development. However, a small residual twist remains. This study shows that organized helical myofibrils in tail muscles mechanically stabilize this residual asymmetry, preventing complete restoration of bilateral symmetry and revealing how embryos ...

Salmonella lipopolysaccharide‐containing supported lipid bilayers as platforms to study bacteriophage interactions

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
We present robust protocols for the preparation of supported lipid bilayers (SLBs) incorporating either Salmonella smooth LPS or outer membrane vesicles (OMVs). We use a combination of quartz crystal microbalance with dissipation (QCM‐D) and fluorescence microscopy to both characterize the SLBs of various compositions and to probe their interactions ...

Learning useful representations for shifting tasks and distributions

open access: yesCoRR, 2022
Does the dominant approach to learn representations (as a side effect of optimizing an expected cost for a single training distribution) remain a good approach when we are dealing with multiple distributions? Our thesis is that such scenarios are better served by representations that are richer than those obtained with a single optimization episode. We

Spatial attention shifting and phonological processing in adults with dyslexia [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
According to Hari and Renvall’s (2001) sluggish attentional shifting (SAS) hypothesis people with dyslexia have a central deficit in attention shifting.

Design and analysis strategies for robust microbiome ageing research

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
The gut microbiome changes with age and associates with age‐related morbidity and mortality, establishing it as a potential biomarker and intervention target for ageing. Realising this potential requires methodological rigour, yet distinguishing biological signals from methodological artefacts remains challenging across cohorts. This review provides an

TASK-SHIFTING - AN ALTERNATIVE SURVIVAL STRATEGY FOR HEALTH - CARE ORGANIZATIONS [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
There are many types of strategies to be followed by managers and leaders depending on the type of problems, objectives, circumstances, privileges, preferences, advantages, constraints and opportunities. Alternative strategy and survival strategy are two

Nutrient/TOR signaling controls adipose mitochondrial transcription factor A (TFAM) to regulate organismal growth in Drosophila

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Animals must match their growth rate to available nutrients. We show that in Drosophila larvae, the nutrient‐sensing TOR kinase controls growth by regulating levels of TFAM, a key regulator of mitochondrial function, in the adipose tissue. When nutrients are abundant, high TOR activity suppresses TFAM, lowering mitochondrial bioenergetic activity and ...

A scoping study on task shifting; the case of Uganda [PDF]

open access: yesBMC Health Services Research, 2014
Le transfert des tâches est mis en œuvre en Ouganda depuis des décennies avec peu de documentation. Les objectifs de cette étude étaient de recueillir des preuves sur les expériences de transfert de tâches en Ouganda, d'établir son acceptabilité et ses perceptions parmi les gestionnaires de la santé et les décideurs, et de faire des recommandations. Il

Liver organoids: modelling complexity in homeostasis and disease

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Studying liver in vitro has been challenging because simple 2D cell cultures fail to capture liver's cellular and architectural complexity. To bridge this gap, scientists increasingly use organoids, 3D liver models which better mimic liver composition and function. This review examines recent advances in liver organoid complexity and realism, discusses

Interference of two attentional tasks with balance performance

open access: yesمجله پژوهش در علوم توانبخشی, 2013
Introduction: Most daily activities require cognitive processing in addition to balance demands they exert on the nervous system. The purpose of the present study was to compare the interference of selective attention and attention-shifting tasks in ...
