COMUNICARE ALL’UNIVERSITÀ: QUANDO L’INTERAZIONE ORALE SI FA PLURILINGUE by Cristiana Cervini, Emanuela Paone

“…In this contribution, we aim to explore the characteristics of academic communication in teaching and learning contexts of intercomprehension between Romance languages, based on a corpus of oral interactions in Italian, Portuguese, and Spanish, video-recorded during training courses addressed to students of Management Engineering and Veterinary Medical Sciences from the University of Bologna, the Universidad Nacional de Rosario, and the Universidade de São Paulo. Our study seeks to observe the impact that the activation or absence of collaborative communication and interaction strategies can have on the success of exchanges between participants, whether teachers or peers. …”

Carbohydrate ligand engagement with CD11b enhances differentiation of tumor-associated myeloid cells for immunotherapy of solid cancers by Mei Zhang, Veronique Roche, Victor Sandoval, Claire Wolford, Zachary Senders, Julian Anthony Kim, Susan Pereira Ribeiro, Alex Yicheng Huang, Rafick-Pierre Sekaly, Joshua Lyons

“…This engagement significantly impacts the biological function of tumor-associated inflammatory monocytes (TAIMs) in osteosarcoma, advanced melanoma, and PDAC backgrounds. Importantly, we observed that the BG34-200-CD11b engagement triggered endocytosis of the binding complexes in TAIMs, which induced intracellular F-actin cytoskeletal rearrangement, effective phagocytosis, and intrinsic ICAM-1 (intercellular adhesion molecule I) clustering. …”

Pseudovibriamides from Pseudovibrio marine sponge bacteria promote flagellar motility via transcriptional modulation by Yitao Dai, Vitor Lourenzon, Laura P. Ióca, Dua Al-Smadi, Lydia Arnold, Ian McIntire, Roberto G. S. Berlinck, Alessandra S. Eustáquio

“…The data gathered suggest that pseudovibriamides A and B have opposite roles in modulating a subset of genes, with pseudovibriamide B having a primary effect in gene activation, and pseudovibriamide A on inhibition. Finally, we observed many differentially expressed genes (up to 29% of the total gene number) indicating that pseudovibriamides have a global effect on transcription that goes beyond motility.IMPORTANCEMarine sponges are found throughout the oceans from tropical coral reefs to polar sea floors, playing crucial roles in marine ecosystems. …”
