The risk of believing that emotions are bad and uncontrollable: association with orthorexia nervosa.

Purpose: This study aimed to explore emotional functioning in individuals with varying levels of orthorexia nervosa (ON) symptoms. Given the established links between emotion dysregulation and other eating disorders (EDs), and the conceptualization of ON within the ED spectrum, this research sought to examine the relationships between ON symptomatology and emotion regulation strategies, alexithymia, and beliefs about emotions.

Methods: A large sample (N = 562) completed self-report measures with high psychometric properties, assessing ON traits (E-DOS), emotion regulation strategies (DERS-SF and ERQ), alexithymia (TAS-20), and beliefs about emotions (ERQ).

Epoxytiglianes induce keratinocyte wound healing responses via classical protein kinase C activation to promote skin re-epithelialization.

Epoxytiglianes are a novel class of diterpene esters. The prototype epoxytigliane, EBC-46 (tigilanol tiglate), is a potent anti-cancer agent in clinical development for local treatment of a range of human and animal tumors. EBC-46 also consistently promotes wound re-epithelialization at the treatment sites, mediated via activation of classical protein kinase C (PKC) isoforms.

AutoGater: a weakly supervised neural network model to gate cells in flow cytometric analyses.

Flow cytometry is a useful and efficient method for the rapid characterization of a cell population based on the optical and fluorescence properties of individual cells. Ideally, the cell population would consist of only healthy viable cells as dead cells can confound the analysis. Thus, separating out healthy cells from dying and dead cells, and any potential debris, is an important first step in analysis of flow cytometry data.
