Psychological resilience has grown in popularity as a topic of study in psychotraumatology research; however, this concept remains poorly understood and there are several competing theories of resilience. This study sought to assess the support for one proposed theory of resilience: the flexibility sequence. This study use secondary data analysis of panel survey data (= 563). Participants were aged 18 years or over and based in the UK. A series of sequential mediation models was used to test the flexibility sequence theory as a proposed pathway of resilience on mental health outcomes (post-traumatic stress disorder, anxiety, and depression) among a trauma-exposed sample from the UK. The 'feedback' component of the proposed flexibility sequence components was associated with reduced symptom severity with all outcomes, whereas 'context sensitivity' and 'repertoire' were significantly associated only with depression as an outcome. When indirect mediation pathways were modelled via the flexibility sequence, statistically significant effects were observed for all outcomes under investigation. These findings support the theorized flexibility sequence pathway of resilience, suggesting that the combination of these skills/processes performs more favourably as a framework of resilience than any in isolation. Further research into more elaborate associations and feedback loops associated with this pathway is warranted.

Background: NIAGADS is a national genomics data repository that facilitates access of genotypic and sequencing data to qualified investigators for the study of the genetics of Alzheimer's disease (AD) and related neurological diseases. Collaborations with large consortia and centers such as the Alzheimer's Disease Genetics Consortium (ADGC), Cohorts for Heart and Aging Research in Genomic Epidemiology (CHARGE) Consortium, the Alzheimer's Disease Sequencing Project (ADSP), and the Genome Center for Alzheimer's Disease (GCAD) allow NIAGADS to lead the effort in managing large AD datasets that can be easily accessed and fully utilized by the research community.
Method: NIAGADS is supported by the National Institute on Aging (NIA) under a cooperative agreement.

Bacterial genomes primarily diversify via gain, loss, and rearrangement of genetic material in their flexible accessory genome. Yet the dynamics of accessory genome evolution are very poorly understood, in contrast to the core genome where diversification is readily described by mutations and homologous recombination. Here, we tackle this problem for the case of very closely related genomes.

Keratinases are valuable enzymes for converting feather keratin waste into bioactive products but often suffer from poor substrate specificity and low catalytic efficiency. This study reported the creating of a novel keratinase with targeted adherence and specific degradation on feather keratins by fusing prepeptidase C-Terminal (PPC) domain. A PPC domain of metalloprotease E423 specifically adsorbed feather keratins by hydrogen bonds and hydrophobic interactions in a time- and temperature-dependent manner.

Neurofilament light chain (NfL) is an early nonspecific biomarker in neurodegenerative diseases and traumatic brain injury, indicating axonal damage. This work describes the detailed structural characterization of a selected primary calibrator with the potential to be used in future reference measurement procedure (RMP) development for the accurate quantification of NfL. As a part of the described workflow, the sequence, higher-order structure as well as solvent accessibility, and hydrogen-bonding profile were assessed under three different conditions in KPBS, artificial cerebrospinal fluid, and artificial cerebrospinal fluid in the presence of human serum albumin.

Di-(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP) is widely utilized as a plasticizer in industrial manufacturing to enhance the durability and flexibility of plastics. Studies have depicted that DEHP exposure may be associated with multiple cancers, including colorectal, liver and prostate cancer. However, the effects and underlying mechanisms of DEHP on bladder cancer progression remain unspecific.
