Dynamics of karyotype evolution

Author(s): Kuzmin E; Baker TM; Van Loo P; Glass L;

In the evolution of species, the karyotype changes with a timescale of tens to hundreds of thousand years. In the development of cancer, the karyotype often is modified in cancerous cells over the lifetime of an individual. Characterizing these changes and understanding the mechanisms leading to them has been of interest in a broad range of disciplines in ...

Thermotolerance in S. cerevisiae as a model to study extracellular vesicle biology

Author(s): Logan CJ; Staton CC; Oliver JT; Bouffard J; Kazmirchuk TDD; Magi M; Brett CL;

The budding yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae is a proven model organism for elucidating conserved eukaryotic biology, but to date its extracellular vesicle (EV) biology is understudied. Here, we show yeast transmit information through the extracellular medium that increases survival when confronted with heat stress and demonstrate the EV-enriched samples me ...

Chloroplast biogenesis involves spatial coordination of nuclear and organellar gene expression in Chlamydomonas

Author(s): Sun Y; Bakhtiari S; Valente-Paterno M; Wu Y; Nishimura Y; Shen W; Law C; Dhaliwal J; Dai D; Bui KH; Zerges W;

The localization of translation can direct the polypeptide product to the proper intracellular compartment. Our results reveal translation by cytosolic ribosomes on a domain of the chloroplast envelope in the unicellular green alga Chlamydomonas (Chlamydomonas reinhardtii). We show that this enve ...

Psychometric Validation of the Gambling Craving Scale in a Treatment-Seeking Sample

Author(s): Battaglia AM; Vedelago L; Coelho SG; Baumgartner C; Schaub MP; Stewart SH; MacKillop J; Hodgins DC; Wardell JD; O' Connor RM; Kim HS; Keough MT;

The Gambling Craving Scale (GACS) is a multifaceted measure of gambling craving. Initial validation work by Young and Wohl (2009) in university student samples showed that the GACS had a three-factor structure capturing dimensions of Desire, Anticipation, and Relief. Despite its potential clinica ...

A Multilevel Person-Centered Perspective on the Role of Job Demands and Resources for Employees' Job Engagement and Burnout Profiles

Author(s): Gillet N; Morin AJS; Blais AR;

The present study examined the configurations, or profiles, taken by distinct global and specific facets of job engagement and burnout (by relying on a bifactor operationalization of these constructs) among a nationally representative sample of Canadian Defence employees (n = 13,088; nested within 65 work units). The present study also adopted a multileve ...

Synergistic Cathode Design for High-Performance Dual-Salt Magnesium/Lithium-Ion Batteries Using 2D/2D 1T/2H-MoS2@Ti3C2Tx MXene Nanocomposite

Author(s): Rahmatinejad J; Liu X; Raisi B; Ye Z;

Magnesium-ion batteries (MIBs) and dual-salt magnesium/lithium-ion batteries (MLIBs) have emerged as promising contenders for next-generation energy storage. In contrast to lithium metal anode in lithium metal batteries, magnesium metal anode in MIBs and MLIBs presents a safer alternative due to the limited dendrite growth and higher volumetric capacity, ...

Simultaneous automated ascertainment of prevalent vertebral fracture and abdominal aortic calcification in clinical practice: role in fracture risk assessment

Author(s): Schousboe JT; Lewis JR; Monchka BA; Reid SB; Davidson MJ; Kimelman D; Jozani MJ; Smith C; Sim M; Gilani SZ; Suter D; Leslie WD;

Whether simultaneous automated ascertainments of prevalent vertebral fracture (auto-PVFx) and abdominal aortic calcification (auto-AAC) on vertebral fracture assessment (VFA) lateral spine bone density (BMD) images jointly predict incident fractures in routine clinical practice is unclear. We est ...
