A versatile system for receptor-mediated gene delivery permits increased entry of DNA into target cells, enhanced delivery to the nucleus and elevated rates of transgene expression by Fisher, KD, Ulbrich, K, Subr, V, Ward, CM, Mautner, V, Blakey, D, Seymour, LW

“…Here we show that vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), transferrin and basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) can each be linked to polyHPMA-coated poly(L-lysine)/DNA complexes. …”

Apocryphal Joyce: fuga per canonem by Holtkamp, G

“…This phrase, from his notes for Ulysses, is especially apt for Joyce given his early connection of the writer as craftsman and apostate with Daedalus, the mythic figure whose wings symbolized for Joyce the liberated intellect of the artist.…”

Association between COVID-19 outcomes and mask mandates, adherence, and attitudes by Adjodah, Dhaval, Dinakar, Karthik, Chinazzi, Matteo, Fraiberger, Samuel P., Pentland, Alex, Bates, Samantha, Staller, Kyle, Vespignani, Alessandro, Bhatt, Deepak L.

“…These effects are large, corresponding to 14% of the highest recorded number of cases, 13% of deaths, and 7% of admission proportion. We also find that mask mandates are linked to a 23.4 percentage point increase in mask adherence in four diverse states. …”

Safety assessment using computer experiments and surrogate modeling: Railway vehicle safety and track quality indices by Neves Costa, João, Ambrósio, Jorge, Andrade, António R., Frey, Daniel

“…Finally, an example illustrates how these surrogates can be used to find which safety quantities govern safety and define track geometry limits directly linked to vehicle safety.…”

Information FOMO: The Unhealthy Fear of Missing Out on Information—A Method for Removing Misleading Data for Healthier Models by Pickering, Ethan, Sapsis, Themistoklis P.

“…Our method improves sample-wise error convergence and eliminates instances where more data lead to worse performance and instabilities of the surrogate model, often termed sample-wise “double descent”. We find these instabilities are a result of the complexity of the underlying map and are linked to extreme events and heavy tails. …”

Wages, family background, on-campus performance and gender: an investigation of Chinese graduates’ first job salaries by Liu, S

“…This thesis provides little evidence to support the marketized transition theory, as we find graduates’ first job salaries are still largely affected by their political/ideological attainments in university. …”

Brain change trajectories in healthy adults correlate with Alzheimer's related genetic variation and memory decline across life by Roe, J, Vidal Pineiro, D, Sørensen, Ø, Grydeland, H, Leonardsen, E, Iakunchykova, O, Pan, M, Mowinckel, A, Strømstad, M, Nawijn, L, Milaneschi, Y, Andersson, M, Pudas, S, Bråthen, AC, Kransberg, J, Falch, E, Øverbye, K, Kievit, R, Ebmeier, KP, Lindenberger, U, Ghisletta, P, Demnitz, N, Boraxbekk, C-J, Drevon, C, Penninx, B, Bertram, L, Nyberg, L, Walhovd, K, Fjell, A, Wang, Y

“…We first show genetic risk links with more brain loss than expected for age in early Braak regions, and find this extends beyond APOE genotype. …”

Investigating the role of local angiotensin system in the browning of white adipocytes by Tan, Shi Wei

“…In our present study, we endeavored to find whether the RAS in adipose tissue could engender browning characteristics by looking at the effects of angiotensin II (Ang II) and angiotensin 1-7 (Ang 1-7) on WAT, and to bring about further understanding of the unique role of the RAS in adipose tissue. 3T3 L1 cells were treated with or without a. …”

YY1 binding is a gene-intrinsic barrier to Xist-mediated gene silencing by Bowness, JS, Almeida, M, Nesterova, T, Brockdorff, N

“…X chromosome inactivation (XCI) in mammals is mediated by Xist RNA which functions in cis to silence genes on a single X chromosome in XX female cells, thereby equalising levels of X-linked gene expression relative to XY males. XCI progresses over a period of several days, with some X-linked genes silencing faster than others. …”
