Polymerase Eta Recruits FANCD2 to Common Fragile Sites to Maintain Genome Stability.

The replicative polymerase delta is inefficient copying repetitive DNA sequences. Error-prone translesion polymerases have been shown to switch with high-fidelity replicative polymerases to help navigate repetitive DNA. We and others have demonstrated the importance of one such translesion polymerase, polymerase Eta (pol eta), in facilitating replication at genomic regions called common fragile sites (CFS), which are difficult-to-replicate genomic regions that are hypersensitive to replication stress.

Improving Behavioral Healthcare Access Disparities by Training Providers in Disadvantaged Communities - Evidence of Strategy Effectiveness.

Background: Inadequate access to behavioral health services disproportionately impacts marginalized populations who live in disadvantaged areas. To reduce this gap, programs dedicated to optimizing behavioral health education and training must focus their efforts to enroll providers who practice in these disadvantaged areas.

Objective: The Train New Trainers (TNT) fellowship program aims to enhance behavioral health knowledge, skills, and attitudes of primary care providers (PCPs) who deliver care in disadvantaged communities.

Media Representation of Scientists in Jornal Nacional: Reaffirmation of Stereotypes During the First Year of the COVID-19 Pandemic.

In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, scientific authorities were routinely consulted by mainstream media outlets through interviews, statements and/or supporting images. In this framework, our goal in this study was to analyze the media representation of scientists in Brazil during the first year of this global public health crisis. To this end, we applied a research protocol and, using statistical techniques, quantitatively analyzed newscasts on the country's main TV news program, Jornal Nacional.
