Cohesin regulates VSG monoallelic expression in trypanosomes [PDF]

Journal of Cell Biology, 2009
Antigenic variation allows Trypanosoma brucei to evade the host immune response by switching the expression of 1 out of ∼15 telomeric variant surface glycoprotein (VSG) expression sites (ESs). VSG ES transcription is mediated by RNA polymerase I in a discrete nuclear site named the ES body (ESB).

Description of the skull, braincase, and dentition of Moschognathus whaitsi (Dinocephalia, Tapinocephalia), and its palaeobiological and behavioral implications

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract A subadult Moschognathus whaitsi from the Eastern Cape Province, South Africa, was scanned using synchrotron radiation X‐ray computed tomography (SRXCT). Its subadult state allowed the cranial bones and teeth to be identified and individually reconstructed in 3D.

Evolutionary radiation of large‐bodied gorgonopsians from the lower Abrahamskraal formation of South Africa

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract The middle Permian represents a critical interval in therapsid evolution, when gorgonopsians emerged as some of the first specialized apex predators within terrestrial ecosystems. Despite their significance, the early diversification of Gorgonopsia in Gondwana remains poorly understood due to scarcity and fragmentary material.

Average Model and Controller Design for Virtual Synchronous Generator

IEEE Access
This paper proposes a novel systematic design procedure for virtual synchronous generators (VSGs) and develops an average VSG model. The VSG comprises distributed generators, an energy storage system consisting of a battery and a DC-DC converter (DDC ...

Mechanism and Control Analysis of Synchronous Frequency Resonance in Distributed Power Generation System Connected to Grid

Energy Science &Engineering, EarlyView.
Small‐signal modeling reveals that insufficient system damping positions conjugate poles near the imaginary axis, fundamentally explaining the SFR mechanism. A virtual resistance control is consequently proposed to damp the resonance and effectively suppress SFR, which is validated through Hardware‐in‐the‐Loop experiments.

Vertical sleeve gastrectomy reduces blood pressure and hypothalamic endoplasmic reticulum stress in mice

Disease Models & Mechanisms, 2017
Bariatric surgery, such as vertical sleeve gastrectomy (VSG), causes remarkable improvements in cardiometabolic health, including hypertension remission. However, the mechanisms responsible remain undefined and poorly studied. Therefore, we developed and

Laser‐Direct Printed 2D Material‐Based Heterostructure for the Fabrication of Electronic Devices

Small, EarlyView.
The Digital Laser‐Induced Forward Transfer (LIFT) approach is employed to pattern and stack 2D materials with micrometer‐scale precision. PdSe2 and MoSe2 are assembled into vertical p–n junctions, with graphene serving as a transparent electrode. The resulting laser‐transferred heterostructures exhibit high material quality and stable rectifying ...

Mapping replication dynamics in Trypanosoma brucei reveals a link with telomere transcription and antigenic variation

eLife, 2016
Survival of Trypanosoma brucei depends upon switches in its protective Variant Surface Glycoprotein (VSG) coat by antigenic variation. VSG switching occurs by frequent homologous recombination, which is thought to require locus-specific initiation. Here,

Analysis and Optimization Strategy of Active Power Dynamic Response for VSG under a Weak Grid

Energies, 2023
A virtual synchronous generator (VSG) has a good adaptability to the weak grid but its grid-connected active power (GCAP) has the problem of a slow dynamic response under the active power command step.
