Attachment scale is constructed from two components (anxiety and avoidance) effectively treated as providing salient measures in previous studies. Recent studies have suggested associations between sensitivities to physical warmth and anxiety scores of attachment scale. Some researchers also suggest that the degree of one's comfort with physical proximity depends on attachment styles, attributing differences to the number of oxytocin (a neuropeptide released by physical touch) receptors. Lateral preference is an important aspect of physical proximity, coupled with the lateralization of visual, emotional, and other cognitive systems. However, there are few studies investigating the relationship between attachment scale scores and one's lateral preferences in physical proximity. Here we surveyed the preferences of subjects regarding positional relations with their romantic partner in some daily situations, and examined the association with attachment scale score. Our results show that the existence or absence of partner correlates with different relations between attachment styles and subjects' awareness of lateral preferences. Lateral preferences in physical proximity may play an important role in attachment in adulthood.

Plasmodium falciparum raf kinase inhibitor is a lipid binding protein that interacts with and regulates the activity of PfCDPK1, an essential plant-like kinase required for red blood cell invasion.

Raf Kinase Inhibitor Protein (RKIP) is an important regulator of the MAPK signaling pathway in multicellular eukaryotes. Plasmodium falciparum RKIP (PfRKIP) is a putative phosphatidylethanolamine binding protein (PEBP) that shares limited similarity with Homo sapiens RKIP (HsRKIP). Interestingly, critical components of the MAPK pathway are not expressed in malaria parasites and the physiological function of PfRKIP remains unknown.

Compelling evidence has demonstrated that rehabilitation through physical exercise, a non-invasive and non-surgical intervention, enhances muscle reinnervation and motor recovery after peripheral nerve injury (PNI) by increasing muscle-derived brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) expression and triggering TrkB-dependent axonal plasticity. Adenosine has been widely acknowledged to trigger TrkB via A2A receptor (A2AR). Since motor nerve terminals co-express TrkBs and A2ARs and depolarizing conditions increase muscle release of BDNF and adenosine, we examined whether A2ARs activation could recapitulate the functional recovery benefits of intermittent exercise after a nerve crush.

The structures of metalloproteins are essential for comprehending their functions and interactions. The breakthrough of AlphaFold has made it possible to predict protein structures with experimental accuracy. However, the type of metal ion that a metalloprotein binds and the binding structure are still not readily available, even with the predicted protein structure.

Purpose: The inflammatory response in animal models of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is activated by the NLR-family-pyrin-domain-containing-3 (NLRP3) inflammasome pathway, which is also known to play a role in obesity-related inflammation. The NLRP3/caspase-1/interleukin (IL)-1β pathway might be involved in the progression of COPD with increasing body mass index. To our knowledge, no previous studies have explored the role of NLRP3 inflammasome markers in linking COPD and obesity.

A characteristic feature of redundancy in the motor system is the ability to compensate for the failure of individual motor elements without affecting task performance. In this study, we examined the pattern and variability in error compensation between motor elements during a virtual task. Participants performed a redundant cursor control task with finger movements.
