Blood-brain barrier regulation by adenosine during sleep restriction. by Gabriela Hurtado-Alvarado (3366089)

“…The activation of glial cells may induce the release of other inflammatory mediators, eg. the pro-inflammatory cytokines IL-6 and TNF-α, which conjointly with adenosine may contribute to blood-brain barrier modulation during sleep loss. In endothelial cells, A_2A adenosine receptor activation promotes the decrease in tight junction protein expression, such as claudin-5 (Cldn5), occludin (Occldn) and Zonula occludens (ZO)-1. …”

Thermally Active Hybridization Drives the Crystallization of DNA-Functionalized Nanoparticles by Ting I. N. G. Li (1948831)

“…We study the assembly mechanism in systems with up to 10⁶ degrees of freedom and find that the crystallization process is accompanied with a slight decrease of enthalpy. Furthermore, we find that the optimal range of the DNA linker interaction strengths for a successful assembly is 12–16<i>k</i>_B<i>T</i>, and the optimal mean lifetime of a DNA hybridization event is 10^–4–10^–3 of the total time it takes to form a crystal. …”

Forces applied during classical touch assays for <i>Caenorhabditis elegans</i> by Adam L. Nekimken (4037090)

“…To measure the applied forces, we measured forces generated by volunteers mimicking the classical touch assay by touching a calibrated microcantilever. The mean (61 μN) and median forces (26 μN) were more than ten times higher than the 2-μN force known to saturate the probability of evoking a reversal in adult <i>C. elegans</i>. …”
