Identification of a miR-720 target site in <i>NANOG</i> mRNA. by Emilio Satoshi Hara (393519)

“…B) Validation of the putative miR-720 target site. A triple tandem repeat of the putative miR-720 site or mutants were cloned into luciferase reporter construct and assayed in HeLa cells. miR-720 significantly decreased luciferase activity of the wild type reporter plasmid with the miR-720 recognition site in <i>NANOG</i> 3′-UTR, whereas no significant difference was observed in the mutants. …”

The Effect of Heterogeneity on Invasion in Spatial Epidemics: From Theory to Experimental Evidence in a Model System by Franco M. Neri (203093)

“…In particular, we test the hypothesis that the probability of epidemic invasion decreases when host heterogeneity is increased. We use replicated experimental microcosms, in which the ubiquitous pathogenic fungus <em>Rhizoctonia solani</em> grows through a population of discrete nutrient sites on a lattice, with nutrient sites representing hosts. …”

<strong>Astrocyte glycogen is a major source of hypothalamic lactate in rats with recurrent hypoglycemia</strong> by Gong Su (15616467)

“…The present study investigates whether astrocytic glycogen serves as the major source of lactate in the VMH of RH rats. By decreasing the expression of a key lactate transporter in VMH astrocytes of RH rats, we reduced extracellular lactate concentrations, suggesting excess lactate was locally produced from astrocytes. …”
