The NFκB Dif is required for behavioral and molecular correlates of sleep homeostasis in Drosophila.

The nuclear factor binding the κ light chain in B-cells (NFκB) is involved in a wide range of cellular processes including development, growth, innate immunity, and sleep. However, genetic studies of the role of specific NFκB transcription factors in sleep have been limited. Drosophila fruit flies carry three genes encoding NFκB transcription factors, Dorsal, Dorsal Immunity Factor (Dif), and Relish.

LGBTQIA+ Cultural Competence in Physical Therapist Education and Practice: A Qualitative Study From the Patients' Perspective.

Objective: The purpose of this study was to explore the experiences of cultural competence and humility among patients of the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, intersex, and asexual (LGBTQIA+) community in physical therapy. Researchers sought to understand the perspectives of adults over 18 years old who have received physical therapy and identify as a member of the LGBTQIA+ community.

Methods: A phenomenological qualitative approach was utilized for this study.

The nuclear factor binding the κ light chain in B-cells (NFκB) is involved in a wide range of cellular processes including development, growth, innate immunity, and sleep. However, efforts have been limited toward understanding how specific NFκB transcription factors function in sleep. fruit flies carry three genes encoding NFκB transcription factors, , (), and .

Sleepiness, not total sleep amount, increases seizure risk.

Sleep loss has been associated with increased seizure risk since antiquity. Despite this observation standing the test of time, how poor sleep drives susceptibility to seizures remains unclear. To identify underlying mechanisms, we restricted sleep in epilepsy models and developed a method to identify spontaneous seizures using quantitative video tracking.

Preparation and Investigation of Thermally Annealed Zein-Propolis Electrospun Nanofibers for Biomedical Applications.

Zein, a corn-derived protein, has a variety of applications ranging from drug delivery to tissue engineering and wound healing. This work aims to develop a biocompatible scaffold for dermal applications based on thermally annealed electrospun propolis-loaded zein nanofibers. Pristine fibers' biocompatibility is determined in vitro.
