Published: November 2023

Introduction: This study examined the direct and indirect effects of school context (negative peer relationships, school environment) on ethnic and racial identity (ERI) development in middle school and later depression symptoms in high school. Differences by racial group were examined for non-Hispanic White (NHW) early adolescents, monoracial adolescents, and multiracial adolescents.

Methods: This study used existing data from a large, multiwave, longitudinal study that included 593 racial/ethnically diverse adolescents from sixth grade through ninth grade across three public middle schools in the Pacific Northwest.

Results: Using multigroup path analysis in structural equation modeling, the findings indicated differences by racial group-school environment was associated with positive ERI development in middle school for NHW and monoracial adolescents but not for multiracial adolescents. For multiracial adolescents, ERI predicted later depression symptoms.

Discussion: These findings demonstrated the importance of examining school context and peer relationships in relation to ERI development and psychological wellbeing.

A Simple Method to Analyze Context- and Tissue-Specific Cis-Regulatory Modulations of Homeotic (HOX) Genes Using ChIP.

Homeobox genes (HOX), the master regulators, deploy a unique set of target genes to coordinate and orchestrate the spatiotemporal development of an organism. HOX encoded transcriptional factors regulate the expression of target genes by binding to the specific sequences on the genome. Chromatin Immunoprecipitation (ChIP) and Chromatin Immunoprecipitation with Sequencing (ChIP-Seq) are widely used to map and understand specific gene locus and global regulatory regions on the genome.

Detection of Protein-Nucleic Acid Interaction by Electrophoretic Mobility Shift Assay.

Methods Mol Biol

January 2025

Department of Pharmacology, Yale School of Medicine, Yale University, New Haven, CT, USA.

Electrophoretic Mobility Shift Assay (EMSA) is a powerful technique for studying nucleic acid and protein interactions. This technique is based on the principle that nucleic acid-protein complex and nucleic acid migrate at different rates due to differences in size and charge. Nucleic acid and protein interactions are fundamental to various biological processes, such as gene regulation, replication, transcription, and recombination.

Deciphering neuronal circuits is pivotal for deepening our understanding of neuronal functions and advancing treatments for neurological disorders. Conventional neuronal tracers suffer from restrictions such as limited penetration depth, high immunogenicity, and inadequacy for long-term and imaging. In this context, we introduce an aggregation-induced emission luminogen (AIEgen), MeOTFVP, engineered for enhanced neuronal tracing and imaging.
