Precarious work on the rise.

BMC Public Health

July 2024

Dalla Lana School of Public Health, University of Toronto, Toronto, ON, Canada.

Precarious employment (PE) is non-standard employment with uncertain and unstable contract duration, low wages, and limited labour protections and rights. Research has associated PE with workers' poor mental health and well-being; however, this association has been studied primarily using quantitative methods. This qualitative study seeks to examine the mechanisms between PE and mental health in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic in Ontario, Canada.

Mathematical modelling has played an important role in offering informed advice during the COVID-19 pandemic. In England, a cross government and academia collaboration generated medium-term projections (MTPs) of possible epidemic trajectories over the future 4-6 weeks from a collection of epidemiological models. In this article, we outline this collaborative modelling approach and evaluate the accuracy of the combined and individual model projections against the data over the period November 2021-December 2022 when various Omicron subvariants were spreading across England.

With breast cancer being one of the most widespread causes of death for women, there is an unmet need for its early detection. For this purpose, we propose a non-invasive approach based on X-ray scattering. We measured samples from 107 unique patients provided by the Breast Cancer Now Tissue Biobank, with the total dataset containing 2958 entries.

The "quantum brain" proposal can revolutionize our understanding of cognition if proven valid. The core of the most common "quantum brain" mechanism is the appearance of correlated neuron triggering induced by quantum correlations between ions. In this work, we examine the preservation of the correlations created in the pre-synaptic neurons through the transfer of neurotransmitters across the synaptic cleft, a critical ingredient for the validity of the "quantum brain" hypothesis.

-BuNI/KSO-MEDIATED C-N COUPLING BETWEEN ALDEHYDES AND AMIDES.

European J Org Chem

June 2024

Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry, Queens College of the City University of New York, 65-30 Kissena Blvd., Queens, New York, 11367, United States.

-BuNI/KSO mediated C-N coupling between aldehydes and amides is reported. A strong electronic effect is observed on the aromatic aldehyde substrates. The transformylation from aldehyde to amide takes place exclusively when an aromatic aldehyde bears electron-donating groups at either the or position of the formyl group, while the cross-dehydrogenative coupling dominates in the absence of these groups.

A systematic review of immunosuppressive protocols used in AAV gene therapy for monogenic disorders.

Mol Ther

October 2024

Department of Paediatrics, MDUK Oxford Neuromuscular Centre & NIHR Oxford Biomedical Research Centre, University of Oxford, Oxford, UK; Division of Child Neurology, Department of Paediatrics, Centre de Référence des Maladies Neuromusculaires, University Hospital Liège and University of Liège, Liège, Belgium. Electronic address:

The emergence of adeno-associated virus (AAV)-based gene therapy has brought hope to patients with severe monogenic disorders. However, immune responses to AAV vectors and transgene products present challenges that require effective immunosuppressive strategies. This systematic review focuses on the immunosuppressive protocols used in 38 clinical trials and 35 real-world studies, considering a range of monogenic diseases, AAV serotypes, and administration routes.

Article Synopsis
  • The American Psychological Association wants to help end systemic racism, but there's confusion about how to really do it.
  • Some people look at racism as just a personal problem, while others see it as something bigger and connected to politics and economics.
  • To truly make a change, psychologists should focus on structural solutions that help everyone, like policies that fight economic inequality and offer reparations for African Americans.

Neurocognition in adolescents and young adults at clinical high risk for psychosis: Predictive stability for social and role functioning.

Schizophr Res

September 2024

Northwell Health, New Hyde Park, NY, United States; Institute of Behavioral Science, Feinstein Institutes for Medical Research, Manhasset, NY, United States; Department of Psychiatry, Donald and Barbara Zucker School of Medicine at Hofstra/Northwell, Hempstead, NY, United States; Department of Molecular Medicine, Donald and Barbara Zucker School of Medicine at Hofstra/Northwell, Hempstead, NY, United States.

The prodromal phase of schizophrenia provides an optimal opportunity to mitigate the profound functional disability that is often associated with fully expressed psychosis. Considerable evidence supports the importance of neurocognition in the development of interpersonal (social) and academic (role) skills. Further findings from adolescents and young adults at clinical high risk for developing psychosis (CHRP) suggest that treatment for functioning might be most effective when targeting early and specific neurocognitive deficits.

A common type of cytoskeletal morphology involves multiple microtubules converging with their minus ends at the microtubule organizing center (MTOC). The cargo-motor complex will experience ballistic transport when bound to microtubules or diffusive transport when unbound. This machinery allows for sequestering and subsequent dispersal of dynein-transported cargo.

Smads and their transcription factor partners mediate the transcriptional responses of target cells to secreted ligands of the Transforming Growth Factor-β (TGF-β) family, including those of the conserved bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) family, yet only a small number of direct target genes have been well characterized. In , the BMP2/4 ortholog DBL-1 regulates multiple biological functions, including body size, via a canonical receptor-Smad signaling cascade. Here, we identify functional binding sites for SMA-3/Smad and its transcriptional partner SMA-9/Schnurri based on ChIP-seq peaks (identified by modEncode) and expression differences of nearby genes identified from RNA-seq analysis of corresponding mutants.

-BuNI/KSO mediated transformylation from -anisaldehyde to primary amides is reported. The mechanistic studies suggest the reaction occurs via a single electron transfer pathway. Based on the DFT electronic structure calculations of various reaction pathways, the most plausible mechanism involves the formation of a phenyl radical cation and an arenium ion as the key intermediates.

The Transforming Growth Factor beta (TGF-β) family consists of numerous secreted peptide growth factors that play significant roles in cell function, tissue patterning, and organismal homeostasis, including wound repair and immunity. Typically studied as homodimers, these ligands have the potential to diversify their functions through ligand interactions that may enhance, repress, or generate novel functions. In the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans, there are only five TGF-β ligands, providing an opportunity to dissect ligand interactions in fewer combinations than in vertebrates.

Within this article, we utilize intersectionality theory as a framework for understanding the experiences of Black girls who attend PK-12 schools in the United States. Black girls' experiences are then illuminated within the context of the school racial climate research. We then add an intersectional lens to the school racial climate research to demonstrate how specific aspects of the school environment influence the experiences and perceptions of Black girls and their developmental outcomes.
