摘要:Our experience of the world is inherently subjective, shaped by individual history, knowledge, and perspective. Art offers a framework within which this subjectivity is practiced and promoted, inviting viewers to engage in interpretation. According to art theory, different forms of art-ranging from the representational to the abstract-challenge these interpretive processes in different ways. Yet, much remains unknown about how art is subjectively interpreted. In this study, we sought to elucid...

摘要:The main form of intracellular protein glycosylation (O-GlcNAc) is reversible and has been mapped on thousands of cytoplasmic and nuclear proteins, including RNA polymerase II, transcription factors, and chromatin modifiers. The O-GlcNAc modification is catalyzed by a single enzyme known as O-GlcNAc Transferase, that is required for mammalian early development. Yet, neither the regulatory function of protein O-GlcNAcylation in the embryo nor the embryonic O-GlcNAc proteome have been documented...

摘要:Caspase- 8 signaling has proapoptotic, antinecroptotic, and proinflammatory signaling roles dependent on interaction with the adapter molecule FADD, oligomerization, and autocleavage. Previously, a Caspase- 8 binding partner cFLIPL (FLIP, encoded by Cflar) was shown to prevent Caspase- 8- dependent apoptosis, but permit Caspase- 8- dependent inhibition of necroptosis. We sought to explore the role of FLIP in Caspase- 8- dependent apoptosis induction, necroptosis inhibition, and inflammatory si...

摘要:Wound healing after spinal cord injury involves highly coordinated interactions among multiple cell types, which are poorly understood. Astrocytes play a central role in creating a border against the non-neural lesion core. To do so, astrocytes undergo dramatic morphological changes by first thickening and elongating their processes and then overlapping them to form a physical barrier. We show here that the expression of a cell-surface receptor, Ryk, is induced in astrocytes after injury in bo...

摘要:Pregnancy loss is a major problem in clinical medicine with devastating consequences for families. Next generation sequencing has improved our ability to identify underlying molecular causes, though over half of all cases lack a clear etiology. Here, we began with clinical evaluation combined with exome sequencing across independent families to identify bi-allelic candidate genetic variants in the Programmed Cell Death 2 (PDCD2) gene in multiple fetuses with nonimmune hydrops fetalis (NIHF). P...

摘要:Stomata, which are essential for the exchange of CO2 and water vapor between plant leaves and the atmosphere, are regulated by a variety of environmental and internal factors. In this study, we identified and characterized two genes, Guard Cell Turgor Maintaining 1 (GCT1) and its closest homolog GCT2, which encode rapidly accelerated fibrosarcoma (RAF)- like protein kinases that play a critical role in maintaining guard cell turgor in Zea mays. We found that overexpression of ZmGCT1 and ZmGCT2...

摘要:Advanced Placement (AP) provides college-level courses to over 1 million US secondary students annually. Black, Hispanic, and female students have historically been underrepresented in AP Computer Science (CS). A new, broadly focused course-AP CS Principles-launched nationally in 2016-17 with the goal of increasing student participation and diversity. We examine its effects on AP CS participation. Combining publicly available sources, we assemble a panel dataset of annual AP exam-taking and co...

摘要:The pure mapping class group of an oriented surface acts on the character variety of the surface. We investigate the closure of its orbits under either Zariski or analytic topologies. We show that a generic infinite orbit is dense in an open subset of the corresponding modified relative character variety. Moreover, we specify that being generic can be captured as a combination of passing to a Zariski-open subscheme and avoiding a concrete set of exceptional cases. In addition, the functorial b...

摘要:Hodge theory is pivotal in studying algebraic varieties' intricate geometry and topology: it provides essential insights into their structure. The Hodge decomposition theorem establishes a profound link between the geometry of varieties and their cohomology groups, helping to understand their underlying properties. Moreover, Hodge theory was crucial at the inception of the field of mirror symmetry, revealing deep connections among seemingly disparate algebraic varieties. It also sheds light on...
