Studies suggested that emotion dysregulation and identity processes are involved in social media (SM) misuse, even if their proximal role has not been investigated. Previous studies rarely discriminated between specific activities or between types of SM. We recruited 50 young adults and implemented a momentary ecological assessment measurement.

The regulation of thyroid hormones, cortisol, and vitamin A have been shown to play essential roles in skin health and seasonal molt in some pinnipeds. Unfortunately, the lack of available reference data for healthy Alaskan ice seals has prevented the adequate evaluation of these factors in cases associated with mortality events.

- - Alternative splicing includes microexons in neuronal proteins, which are often linked to neurodevelopmental disorders, including autism spectrum disorder (ASD).
- - A specific 24-nucleotide microexon in the RNA-binding protein CPEB4, previously shown to be less included in individuals with ASD, plays a critical role in regulating gene expression linked to neurodevelopment.
- - The study finds that this microexon helps maintain the flexible regulation of CPEB4 during neuronal activation by preventing its aggregation, allowing it to switch from repressing to activating translation of genes.
