by Yuge Yue, Kaiwu Lu, Danping Ye

In the process of urbanization, the social adaptation of migrant children has become an important issue in their development. This study adopts family systems theory and ecological systems theory to examine the effects of parental non-involvement strategies in handling sibling conflict on migrant children’s social avoidance. It also investigates the mediating role of sibling conflict and parent-child conflict. The results of the study, reported by parents of 253 mobile children with siblings... Читать дальше...

Life in the fastlane? A comparative analysis of gene expression profiles across annual, semi-annual, and non-annual killifishes (Cyprinodontiformes: Nothobranchiidae)

by Chi Jing Leow, Kyle R. Piller

The Turquoise Killifish is an important vertebrate for the study of aging and age-related diseases due to its short lifespan. Within Nothobranchiidae, species possess annual, semi-annual, or non-annual life-histories. We took a comparative approach and examined gene expression profiles (QuantSeq) from 62 individuals from eleven nothobranchid species that span three life-histories. Our results show significant differences in differentially expressed genes (DEGs)... Читать дальше...

Differential protection by nicotinamide in a mouse model of glaucoma DBA/2J revealed by second-harmonic generation microscopy

Plos.org 

by Vinessia Boodram, Hyungsik Lim

Glaucoma is a blinding disease where the retinal ganglion cells and their axons degenerate. Degradation of axonal microtubules is thought to play a critical role in the pathogenesis, but the mechanism is unknown. Here we investigate whether microtubule disruption in glaucoma can be alleviated by metabolic rescue. The integrity of axonal microtubules and the morphology of the retinal nerve fibers were evaluated by second-harmonic generation microscopy in a mouse model of glaucoma... Читать дальше...

Differences in the risk association of TERT-CLPTM1L rs4975616 (A>G) with lung cancer between Caucasian and Asian populations: A meta-analysis

Plos.org 

by Xiaozheng Wu, Wen Li, Yunzhi Chen

Background

Although the G allele variant of TERT-CLPTM1L rs4975616 has been confirmed to be negatively associated to the risk of lung cancer (LC), some other studies haven’t found this negative association. The purpose of this study is to clarify the association of the rs4975616 with the risk of developing LC and the differences of this association among patients with different ethnicities (Caucasians and Asians), different subtypes of LC, and different smoking status.
