Delineating the protective effects of testosterone on dentate gyrus neurons by Lim, Xue Yun

“…Therefore, this paper aims to delineate the neuroprotective effects of testosterone via examining the dendritic architecture of DG neurons in castrated male and intact female mice following testosterone supplementation. Testosterone administration was found to increase the sum of intersections within DG neurons of the treated male group, hence suggesting the neuroprotective role of testosterone in enhancing and/or preserving dendritic arborisation of DG neurons. …”

A KLF2-BMPER-Smad1/5 checkpoint regulates high fluid shear stress-mediated artery remodeling by Deng, H, Zhang, J, Wang, Y, Joshi, D, Pi, X, De Val, S, Schwartz, MA

“…Here we report that high FSS suppresses Smad1/5 by elevating KLF2, which induces the bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) pathway inhibitor, BMP-binding endothelial regulator (BMPER), thereby de-inhibiting Akt. In mice, surgically induced high FSS elevated BMPER expression, inactivated Smad1/5 and induced vessel outward remodeling. …”

White cat, black cat or good cat: the Beijing consensus as an alternative philosophy for policy deliberation? The case of China by Hasmath, R

“…Contrary to models of development which provide a subset of policy prescriptions for the policymakers’ disposal or a fundamentalist adherence to a particular economic tradition, the philosophical intentionality of the Beijing Consensus is reflected in the infamous words of Deng Xiaoping “I do not care if it is a white cat or a black cat … It is a good cat so long as it catches mice”. That is, the Beijing Consensus inherently recognises that each development scenario has a potential set of challenges that may require unique and/or experimental solutions factoring the current political, social and economic environment. …”

“…The cocrystallization strategy has provided an efficient route to fulfill room temperature magnetoelectricity in single phase owing to the long-range ordered π-π stacking (donor-acceptor assembled) network, long-lived excitons (with μs lifetime), spin orders (±1/2 s pin) and charge transfer (CT) dipoles in the assembled crystal lattice. …”

“…As the strain rate increases, the dislocations outpace the diffusion speed of the solute atoms, limiting their ability to effectively pin the dislocations, resulting in lower dislocation density and serration amplitude. …”
