Article Synopsis
  • Polycomb Repressive Complexes (PRCs) regulate gene expression by adding specific epigenetic marks, H2Aub and H3K27me3, which help shape the epigenome.
  • Recent research has identified UBIQUITIN SPECIFIC PROTEASE 5 (UBP5) in Arabidopsis thaliana as a key player that counteracts these repressive marks, influencing plant development.
  • UBP5 not only removes the H2A monoubiquitination mark, leading to increased gene expression, but also interacts with PRC2, revealing complex relationships that regulate the dynamics of the epigenome.

Objective: This study aimed to compare Greek Australian and English language normative data with regard to impairment rates yielded within a healthy Greek Australian older adult sample. We also examined whether optimal cut scores could be identified and capable of sensitively and specifically distinguishing between healthy Greek Australians from those with a diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease (AD).

Method: Ninety healthy Greek Australian older adults and 20 demographically matched individuals with a diagnosis of AD completed a range of neuropsychological measures, including the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale-Fourth Edition, Greek Adaptation (WAIS-IV GR), verbal and visual memory, language and naming, and executive functions.

The 2019 novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19) is a global threat that can have an adverse effect on an individuals' physical and mental health. Here, we investigate if disordered social media use predicts user stress and depression symptoms indirectly via fear of COVID-19. A total of 359 (timepoint 1 = 171, timepoint 2 = 188) participants were recruited via social media and snowball sampling.
