Nucleotide-Binding Oligomerization Domain-1 and -2 Play No Role in Controlling Brucella abortus Infection in Mice by Fernanda S. Oliveira, Natalia B. Carvalho, Dario S. Zamboni, Sergio C. Oliveira

“…Further, several in vivo studies have demonstrated a role for Nod1 and Nod2 in host defense against bacterial pathogens. Here, we demonstrated that macrophages from NOD1-, NOD2-, and Rip2-deficient mice produced lower levels of TNF-α following infection with live Brucella abortus compared to wild-type mice. …”

Extracellular viral microRNAs as biomarkers of virus infection in human cells by Cheryl Chan, Joanne Xin Yi Loh, Wei-Xiang Sin, Denise Bei Lin Teo, Nicholas Kwan Zen Tan, Chandramouli Nagarajan, Yunxin Chen, Francesca Lorraine Wei Inng Lim, Michael E. Birnbaum, Rohan B.H. Williams, Stacy L. Springs

“…Here, we show that extracellular viral microRNAs (viral exmiRs) are cell-free candidate biomarkers of live, latent, and reactivated virus infections, achieving fast (under 1 day) and sensitive (30 attomolar [aM]) detection by quantitative real-time reverse transcription PCR (real-time RT-qPCR). …”

Molecular switch of the dendrite-to-spine transport of TDP-43/FMRP-bound neuronal mRNAs and its impairment in ASD by Pritha Majumder, Biswanath Chatterjee, Khadiza Akter, Asmar Ahsan, Su Jie Tan, Chi-Chen Huang, Jen-Fei Chu, Che-Kun James Shen

“…Results We demonstrate here that brief mGluR1 activation-mediated dephosphorylation of pFMRP (S499) results in the dissociation of FMRP from TDP-43 and handover of TDP-43/Rac1 mRNA complex from the dendritic transport track on microtubules to myosin V track on the spine actin filaments. …”

The dynamin-related protein PfDyn2 is essential for both apicoplast and mitochondrial fission in Plasmodium falciparum by Alexander A. Morano, Wei Xu, Francesca M. Navarro, Neeta Shadija, Jeffrey D. Dvorin, Hangjun Ke

“…Plasmodium falciparum encodes three dynamin-like proteins whose functions are poorly understood. Here, we demonstrate that one of these dynamin-related proteins, PfDyn2, is required to divide both the apicoplast and the mitochondrion, a striking divergence from the biology of related parasites. …”

Analysing the Demography and Migration Related Challenges within the Internal Periphery of South-Heves by Tunde Bogardi

“…I have conducted an empirical research amongst high-school students living and studying at South-Heves, focusing on issues such as whether the high-school age-group of this classic periphery is considering migration; if so, then what are the reasons, destinations, and as an important question from the aspect of the national strategy as well, how could these young people who are longing to go elsewhere manage their lives here, and how could we make them stay in their homeland (in a narrow sense). …”

“…We did it under the guidance of Plantes et Cités in 2010, with the aim of gathering present-day knowledge about the positive impact of vegetation in urban areas, on human health, well-being and social dynamics. We wish here to presenter the social and psychological impacts of the green spaces, put evidence within a global vision of the environmental impacts, economical, sociological and cultural of the vegetal in the urban space, stemming from the analysis of 30 references chosen among a first bibliographical bottom of 104 documents and international works, in ecology, town planning, sociology and psychology, constituted by Plantes et Cités. …”
