Receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs) regulate many cellular functions and are important targets in pharmaceutical development, particularly in cancer treatment. EGFR and EphA2 are two key RTKs that are associated with oncogenic phenotypes. Several studies have reported functional interplay between these receptors, but the mechanism of interaction is still unresolved.

Background And Aims: Although resilience has been identified as an important factor for mitigating burnout among health profession students, little is known regarding the modifiable factors that should be emphasized to improve resilience in this population. The purpose of this study was to evaluate psychological flexibility as a modifiable mediator of the relationship between resilience and academic burnout among healthcare students.

Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted with 369 Doctor of Physical Therapy (DPT) students from universities across the United States.

Nickel-based catalysts are widely studied for water-gas shift (WGS), a key intermediate step in hydrogen production from carbon-based feedstocks. Their viability under practical conditions is limited at high temperatures when Ni aggregates and converts CO to methane, an undesirable side product. Because experimental and computational studies identify undercoordinated Ni step sites as most active toward CH formation, we eliminate Ni step sites by atomically dispersing Ni into networked, nanoparticulate CeO aerogels.

The continental deep biosphere contains a vast reservoir of microorganisms, although a large proportion of its diversity remains both uncultured and undescribed. In this study, the metabolic potential (metagenomes) and activity (metatranscriptomes) of the microbial communities in Fennoscandian Shield deep subsurface groundwaters were characterized with a focus on novel taxa. DNA sequencing generated 1270 de-replicated metagenome-assembled genomes and single-amplified genomes, containing 7 novel classes, 34 orders, and 72 families.

Article Synopsis
  • - The study analyzed swimming turn performance in male and female Swiss national team members using advanced statistical methods (PCA and multiple linear regression) to evaluate kinematic and kinetic key performance indicators (KPI) across different age groups (adult, junior, youth).
  • - A motion analysis system with underwater cameras and force plates was used to gather detailed data on swimmers' performances, allowing for a reduction of original variables and a comprehensive understanding of the factors affecting swimming turns.
  • - The KPIs identified can help coaches and swimmers assess performance by highlighting strengths and weaknesses, and the percentiles provided serve as benchmarks for evaluating individual swimmer's potential.
