Article Synopsis
  • Calvarial doughnut lesions (CDL) with bone fragility is a rare genetic disorder marked by low bone mineral density and specific lesions in cranial bones, often leading to fractures.
  • This condition is caused by mutations in the gene that produces sphingomyelin synthase 2, which is vital for bone mineralization.
  • Recent studies have identified a common mutation (c.148C>T) associated with CDL in multiple cases, revealing significant variability in symptoms among affected individuals, underscoring the importance of genetic testing for accurate diagnosis.

Article Synopsis
  • * Techniques like light scattering, electron microscopy, and fluorescence spectroscopy were used to confirm the formation of nanosized lipoplexes (100-200 nm) via various mechanisms including electrostatic and hydrophobic interactions.
  • * The research found that the length of the surfactant's hydrocarbon tail and the type of nucleic acid significantly impact their interaction, with MPI-n/DNA complexes showing reduced cytotoxicity in cancer cells and effectiveness comparable to Lipofectamine 3000 for transfection.

These transnational actors establish ties within and across national borders and contribute to the formation of a more connected global corporate network. And yet little is known about the geographical locations through which these transnational corporate elites operate, both nationally and internationally.

Chinese investments into Europe have been growing prodigiously in the past decade and are increasingly the subject of controversy. However, while a lot of empirical data and analysis are available on the flows and stocks of these investments, we still know very little about the loci of corporate power and control behind them. This article focuses on a domain where substantive power of decision making and control regarding these investments lies: corporate boards.

Behavior diffusion through social networks is a key social process. It may be guided by various factors such as network topology, type of propagated behavior, and the strength of network connections. In this paper, we claim that the type of social interactions is also an important ingredient of behavioral diffusion.
