Myopathy-causing Q147P TPM2 mutation shifts tropomyosin strands further towards the open position and increases the proportion of strong-binding cross-bridges during the ATPase cyc... by Karpicheva, OE, Simonyan, AO, Kuleva, NV, Redwood, CS, Borovikov, YS

“…The mutant tropomyosin increases the proportion of the strong-binding myosin heads and disrupts the co-operation of actin and myosin heads during the ATPase cycle. These changes are likely to underlie the contractile abnormalities caused by this mutation.…”

Policies in parallel? A comparative study of journalistic AI policies in 52 global news organisations by Simon, FM, Becker, KB, Crum, C

Unraveling the Dynamics of Mental and Visuospatial Workload in Virtual Reality Environments by Bernal, Guillermo, Jung, Hahrin, Yassı, İsmail Emir, Hidalgo, Nelson, Alemu, Yodahe, Barnes-Diana, Tyler, Maes, Pattie

“…Regression analysis indicated that the subjective relief and helpfulness of the helper intervention was primarily driven by a decrease in physiological arousal and an increase in visuospatial engagement. These findings highlight the importance of multimodal physiological recording in rich environments, such as real world scenarios and VR, to understand the interplay between the various physiological responses involved in mental and visuospatial workload.…”
