A key event in the mechanism of mouse embryonic stem cell (mESC) pluripotency is phosphorylation, dimerisation and translocation to the nucleus of the signal transducer and activator of transcription3, Stat3. We used RNAi to suppress the levels of the co-chaperone Hsp70/Hsp90 organising protein (Hop) in an mESC line. Hop knockdown caused 68% depletion in Stat3 mRNA levels, decreased soluble pYStat3 levels, and led to an extranuclear accumulation of Stat3. The major binding partner of Hop, Hsp90, co-localised with a small non-nuclear fraction of Stat3 in mESCs, and both Stat3 and Hop co-precipitated with Hsp90. Hop knockdown did not affect Nanog and Oct4 protein levels; however, Nanog mRNA levels were decreased. We found that in the absence of Hop, mESCs lost their pluripotent ability to form embryoid bodies with a basement membrane. These data suggest that Hop facilitates the phosphorylation and nuclear translocation of Stat3, implying a role for the Hsp70/Hsp90 chaperone heterocomplex machinery in pluripotency signalling.

Recently, there has been a growing interest in underground construction safety, during activities such as subway construction, underground mining, and tunnel excavation. While Internet of Things (IoT) sensors help to monitor these conditions, large-scale deployment is limited by high power needs and complex tunnel layouts, making real-time response a critical challenge. A delay-sensitive multi-sensor multi-base-station routing scheduling method is proposed for the IoT in underground mining.

In this study, we present a dual-hop decode-and-forward relaying-based free-space optical (FSO) communication system. We consider utilizing simultaneous lightwave information and power transfer (SLIPT) with a time-splitting technique at the relay, where the direct current component of the received optical signal is harvested as a transmit power for the relay. It is assumed that the FSO links experience a Malaga turbulence channel with pointing errors.

: Up to 27% of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction cases result in a residual positive pivot shift sign, indicating anteroposterior and rotational instability. This instability can compromise returning to sports and increase the risk of further injuries. The biomechanical role of the anterolateral ligament (ALL) in controlling internal knee rotation is well known.

Introduction: This study aimed to systematically review the effects of different physical activity programs on the fundamental movement skills of 3 - 7-year-old children.
Methods: For this review, the databases of CNKI, Web of Science, and PubMed were searched to collect relevant literature on the effects of different physical activity program interventions on fundamental movement skills, and a total of 10 articles with 1,121 subjects were included. The Cochrane Risk of Bias Assessment Tool was used to assess the quality of the literature, and meta-analysis was performed using Review Manager 5.
What do we know: positive impact of hip-hop pedagogy on student's learning effects.

Over the last decade, hip-hop pedagogy has received a lot of attention in the field of education because of its significance in improving students' learning effects. This review articulates the current understanding of the positive impact of hip-hop pedagogy on students' learning effects within publications, an under-researched area. Based on a review of previous studies, this review innovatively examines six major elements of hip-hop pedagogy (DJ, MC, cypher, breakdance, knowledge, and graffiti) and concludes that the six major elements of hip-hop pedagogy can, in terms of the four dimensions of learning motivation, engagement, learning and memorization, and critical thinking, improve students' learning effects.
