Culture of human pluripotent stem cells and neural networks in 3D using an optogenetic approach and a hydrogel model by Lee, S

“…</p> <p>Light-sensitive neurons were successfully generated by transducing Channelrhodopsin-2 (ChR2) into human iPSC-derived NPCs and neuroblastoma cells (SH-SY5Y) using lentiviral transduction. The use of neuron specific promoters for synapsin-1 (SYN1) and calcium-calmodulin kinase II (CaMKII) in driving the expression of ChR2-Yellow Florescent Protein (YFP) within the mixed neuronal populations from hiPSC-derived neurons (Axol cells) were compared. …”

Targeting TFEB and TFE3 in iPSC-derived dopaminergic neurons to correct autophagic/lysosomal deficits in Parkinson's disease by McGuinness, W

“…</p> <p>Surprisingly, TFEB overexpression mainly upregulated genes associated with mitochondrial function and bioenergetics in iPSC-DaNs, demonstrating a novel, DaN- specific therapeutic function for TFEB activation in PD.…”

A Lagrangian perspective on the lifecycle and radiative effect of deep convective clouds by Jones, WK

“…As a result, instruments that only observe specific times may result in erroneous comparisons between the properties of DCCs over land and ocean, which is particularly impactful on observations made in the early afternoon such as those from the A-train constellation. …”

Nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopic studies of the structure and interactions between hepatitis B virus core and surface antigens with peptides by Muhamad, Azira

“…Previous studies have implicated HBV surface antigen (HBsAg) to be involved in the virus entry into the host cells. Thus, a specific ligand targeting the immunodominant region of HBsAg is desired in neutralizing the infectivity of the virus. …”

Essays on merchant-generated contents and merchant-to-merchant spillovers in e-commerce platform by Zhang, Xueli

“…A larger difference between these two types of images reflects a larger difference between the expected and real product quality, resulting in a high return rate. Specifically, first, I use well-established image-processing techniques to extract basic image attributes, such as entropy, cool color ratio, lightness, and saturation, which are defined as “shallow features”. …”

Conditional prosociality in development: deconstructing social and materialistic factors that modulate early prosocial behavior by Lee, Kristy Jia Jin

“…Yet as we marvel at these precocious displays of virtue, it is imperative to recognize the constraints on early prosociality, specifically that (i) self-interested concerns often underlie prosocial behavior and (ii) opposing considerations about self-interest may sometimes outcompete prosocial tendencies. …”
