Article Synopsis
  • The YAP/Hippo pathway regulates organ growth and helps maintain stem cell function, with LATS kinases playing a critical role by inactivating YAP.
  • A new small-molecule inhibitor, NIBR-LTSi, has been developed that selectively targets LATS kinases, activating YAP signaling and promoting tissue regeneration in laboratory settings.
  • While NIBR-LTSi shows promise by enhancing liver regeneration and supporting stem cell characteristics, prolonged use may lead to excessive cell proliferation and dedifferentiation, which could limit its therapeutic benefits.

The genomes of several plant viruses contain RNA structures at their 3' ends called cap-independent translation enhancers (CITEs) that bind the host protein factors such as mRNA 5' cap-binding protein eIF4E for promoting cap-independent genome translation. However, the structural basis of such 5' cap-binding protein recognition by the uncapped RNA remains largely unknown. Here, we have determined the crystal structure of a 3' CITE, panicum mosaic virus-like translation enhancer (PTE) from the saguaro cactus virus (SCV), using a Fab crystallization chaperone.

Surveillance of injuries in production agriculture is necessary to inform stakeholders about workplace hazards and risks in order to improve and advance injury prevention policies and practices for this dangerous industry. The most comprehensive fatal injury surveillance effort currently in the United States is the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) Census of Fatal Occupational Injuries (CFOI), which covers occupational fatalities in all U.S.

Objectives: To determine coders' agreement level for the Occupational Injury and Illness Classification System (OIICS) source of injury and injury event codes, and the Farm and Agricultural Injury Classification (FAIC) code in the AgInjuryNews.org and to determine the effects of supplemental information and follow-up discussion in final code assignments.

Methods: Two independent researchers initially coded 1304 injury cases from AgInjurynews.

Background: Injury data and reports provide valuable information for both public and private organizations to guide programming, policy, and prevention, but in the increasingly complex and dangerous industry of US agriculture, the injury surveillance needed to produce this data is lacking. To address the gap, AgInjuryNews was established in 2015. The system includes fatal and nonfatal injury cases derived from publicly available reports, including occupational and nonoccupational injuries, occurring in the agricultural, forestry, and fishing (AFF) industry.

This presentation discusses research by Good Things Foundation with community organisations supporting disabled people within the national Online Centres network, to explore the barriers to digital inclusion (DI) they face. The research informed a handbook to help similar organisations get disabled people online.
