Saccharomyces cerevisiae is a powerful model for aging research due to its short lifespan and genetic malleability. Microfluidic devices offer an attractive approach enabling rapid monitoring of hundreds of cells during their entire replicative lifespan (RLS). Yet, key operational issues such as contaminations, cell loss, and cell-aggregates-dependent flow obstruction can hinder RLS experiments.

- Little is known about psychological factors that protect against dementia, but the Five-Factor Model of personality helps clarify personality traits.
- The study analyzed how these personality traits relate to dementia, using data from Brazil’s largest aging study, ELSI-Brazil.
- Results showed that optimism is a significant protective factor against dementia, highlighting its potential for development in preventive health interventions.
Article Synopsis
- Near-rigid-body grain rotation is significant during processes like grain growth, recrystallization, and plastic deformation in nanocrystalline materials, but its mechanisms have been unclear for decades.
- New evidence shows that grain rotation happens due to the movement of disconnections along grain boundaries in platinum thin films.
- Advanced microscopy techniques reveal a statistical link between grain rotation and changes in grain size, highlighting the role of shear-coupled grain boundary migration in this phenomenon.
Biologging has proven to be a powerful approach to investigate diverse questions related to movement ecology across a range of spatiotemporal scales and increasingly relies on multidisciplinary expertise. However, the variety of animal-borne equipment, coupled with little consensus regarding analytical approaches to interpret large, complex data sets presents challenges and makes comparison between studies and study species difficult. Here, we present a combined hardware and analytical approach for standardizing the collection, analysis, and interpretation of multisensor biologging data.

Methods: Observational, prospective, and multicenter study during the period May 2020-March 2021. A survey (9 questions) was conducted before starting treatment in which the patients' level of knowledge about biological therapy and biosimilars was assessed.
