The history of male dominance in organizational hierarchy can leave a residue of mistrust in which women in particular do not expect fair treatment. The mere presence of a female leader relative to a male leader led perceivers to anticipate fairer treatment in that organization (Study 1) and greater projected salary and status (Study 2). This mere presence effect occurred uniquely through communal and not agentic affordances; these patterns emerged especially or only for women. Female leaders cued organizational trust in both male- and female-dominated industries (Study 3) and when they occupied different levels of the organizational hierarchy (Study 4). When information about organizational communal affordances is directly communicated, both female and male leaders signal trust (Study 5). The processes and practices of male-dominated organizational culture can leave a residue of mistrust, but viewing women in leadership is one beacon illuminating paths forward and upward.

Choline-acetyltransferase (ChAT) is the key cholinergic enzyme responsible for the biosynthesis of acetylcholine (ACh), a crucial signaling molecule with both canonical neurotransmitter function and auto- and paracrine signaling activity in non-neuronal cells, such as lymphocytes and astroglia. Cholinergic dysfunction is linked to both neurodegenerative and inflammatory diseases. In this study, we investigated a serendipitous observation, namely that the catalytic rate of human recombinant ChAT (rhChAT) protein greatly differed in buffered solution in the presence and absence of Triton X-100 (TX100).

Visible-Light-Fueled Polymerizations for 3D Printing.

Acc Chem Res

January 2025

Department of Chemistry, The University of Texas at Austin, 105 East 24th Street, Austin, Texas 78712, United States.

ConspectusLight-driven polymerizations and their application in 3D printing have revolutionized manufacturing across diverse sectors, from healthcare to fine arts. Despite the popularized notion that with 3D printing "imagination is the only limit", we and others in the scientific community have identified fundamental hurdles that restrict our capabilities in this space. Herein, we describe the group's efforts in developing photochemical systems that respond to nontraditional colors of light to elicit the rapid, spatiotemporally controlled formation of plastics.

The study focuses on the socio-cultural importance of hilsa fishery in West Bengal, which extends beyond mere sustenance, symbolising heritage, identity, and community spirit, particularly in South 24 Parganas district. As the state fish and a crucial livelihood source for many fishers, grave concerns have recently been flagged due to reduced catches and increased prices, highlighting the need for restoration. This study seeks to measure the non-consumptive value of hilsa fishery by involving 200 participants, 100 fishers and 100 consumers, utilising the Contingent Valuation Method (CVM) with a payment card.

Angiotensin II type-1 receptor autoantibodies and effects in neonates of women with preeclampsia.

BMC Pregnancy Childbirth

January 2025

Collection Biologique de L'Hôpital de La Mère Et de L'Enfant CB-HME (Mother and Child Biobank), University Hospital Center, 8 Avenue Dominique Larrey, Limoges, France.

Background: Maternal agonistic autoantibodies against the angiotensin II type 1 receptor (AT1-AAs) have been implicated in the pathophysiology of preeclampsia, but their presence in their offsprings and their possible neonatal effects have not been specifically explored. This prospective study aimed to evaluate the presence of AT1-AAs and their potential clinical effects in neonates of AT1-AAs positive mothers.

Methods: Women with preeclampsia and their neonates were included.

Background: The presence of intrathecal total IgG production is a hallmark of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) characteristics in multiple sclerosis (MS). Herein, we systematically analyze how the intensity (instead of mere presence) of intrathecal total IgG production relates to basic CSF parameters in MS.

Methods: We retrospectively assessed clinical routine CSF findings from 390 therapy-naïve relapsing-remitting MS patients diagnosed according to 2017 revised McDonald criteria.
