Relativistic particle dynamics in D=2+1
We propose a SUSY variant of the action for a massless spinning particles via
the inclusion of twistor variables. The action is constructed to be invariant
under SUSY transformations and -reparametrizations even when an
interaction field is including. The constraint analysis is achieved and the
equations of motion are derived. The commutation relations obtained for the
commuting spinor variables show that the particle states have
fractional statistics and spin. At once we introduce a possible massive term
for the non-interacting model.Comment: 11 page
Autophagy resolves early retinal inflammation in Igf1-deficient mice
Insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) is a growth factor with differentiating, anti-apoptotic and metabolic functions in the periphery, and anti-inflammatory properties in the nervous system. Mice that have mutations in the Igf1 gene, rendering the gene product inactive (Igf1(-/-)), present with age-related visual loss accompanied by structural alterations in the first synapses of the retinal pathway. Recent advances have revealed a crucial role of autophagy in immunity and inflammation. Keeping in mind this close relationship, we aimed to decipher these processes in the context of the defects that occur during ageing in the retina of Igf1(-/-) mice. Tnfa and Il1b mRNAs, and phosphorylation of JNK and p38 MAPK were elevated in the retinas of 6- and 12-month old Igf1(-/-) mice compared to those in age-matched Igf1(+/+) controls. In 6-month-old Igf1(-/-) retinas, increased mRNA levels of the autophagy mediators Becn1, Atg9, Atg5 and Atg4, decreased p62 (also known as SQSTM1) protein expression together with an increased LC3-II:LC3-I ratio reflected active autophagic flux. However, in retinas from 12-month-old Igf1(-/-) mice, Nlrp3 mRNA, processing of the IL1β pro-form and immunostaining of active caspase-1 were elevated compared to those in age-matched Igf1(+/+) controls, suggesting activation of the inflammasome. This effect concurred with accumulation of autophagosomes and decreased autophagic flux in the retina. Microglia localization and status of activation in the retinas of 12-month-old Igf1(+/+) and Igf1(-/-) mice, analyzed by immunostaining of Cd11b and Iba-1, showed a specific distribution pattern in the outer plexiform layer (OPL), inner plexiform layer (IPL) and inner nuclear layer (INL), and revealed an increased number of activated microglia cells in the retina of 12-month-old blind Igf1(-/-) mice. Moreover, reactive gliosis was exclusively detected in the retinas from 12-month-old blind Igf1(-/-) mice. In conclusion, this study provides new evidence in a mouse model of IGF-1 deficiency that autophagy is an adaptive response that might confer protection against persistent inflammation in the retina during agein
A DNA damage repair gene-associated signature predicts responses of patients with advanced soft-tissue sarcoma to treatment with trabectedin
Signatura genètica; Biomarcadors predictius; TrabectedinaFirma genética; Biomarcadores predictivos; TrabectedinaGene signature; Predictive biomarkers; TrabectedinPredictive biomarkers of trabectedin represent an unmet need in advanced soft-tissue sarcomas (STS). DNA damage repair (DDR) genes, involved in homologous recombination or nucleotide excision repair, had been previously described as biomarkers of trabectedin resistance or sensitivity, respectively. The majority of these studies only focused on specific factors (ERCC1, ERCC5, and BRCA1) and did not evaluate several other DDR-related genes that could have a relevant role for trabectedin efficacy. In this retrospective translational study, 118 genes involved in DDR were evaluated to determine, by transcriptomics, a predictive gene signature of trabectedin efficacy. A six-gene predictive signature of trabectedin efficacy was built in a series of 139 tumor samples from patients with advanced STS. Patients in the high-risk gene signature group showed a significantly worse progression-free survival compared with patients in the low-risk group (2.1 vs 6.0 months, respectively). Differential gene expression analysis defined new potential predictive biomarkers of trabectedin sensitivity (PARP3 and CCNH) or resistance (DNAJB11 and PARP1). Our study identified a new gene signature that significantly predicts patients with higher probability to respond to treatment with trabectedin. Targeting some genes of this signature emerges as a potential strategy to enhance trabectedin efficacy.This study was funded by the Spanish Group for Research on Sarcoma (GEIS) and partially by PharmaMar.

Dachshund acts with Abdominal-B to trigger programmed cell death in the Drosophila central nervous system at the frontiers of Abd-B expression
A striking feature of the nervous system pertains to the appearance of different neural cell subtypes at different axial levels. Studies in the Drosophila central nervous system reveal that one mechanism underlying such segmental differences pertains to the segment-specific removal of cells by programmed cell death (PCD). One group of genes involved in segment-specific PCD is the Hox homeotic genes. However, while segment-specific PCD is highly precise, Hox gene expression is evident in gradients, raising the issue of how the Hox gene function is precisely gated to trigger PCD in specific segments at the outer limits of Hox expression. The Drosophila Va neurons are initially generated in all nerve cord segments but removed by PCD in posterior segments. Va PCD is triggered by the posteriorly expressed Hox gene Abdominal-B (Abd-B). However, Va PCD is highly reproducible despite exceedingly weak Abd-B expression in the anterior frontiers of its expression. Here, we found that the transcriptional cofactor Dachshund supports Abd-B-mediated PCD in its anterior domain. In vivo bimolecular fluorescence complementation analysis lends support to the idea that the Dachshund/Abd-B interplay may involve physical interactions. These findings provide an example of how combinatorial codes of transcription factors ensure precision in Hox-mediated PCD in specific segments at the outer limits of Hox expressionMinisterio de Ciencia y Educación,

Innovative Educational Approach in Healthcare-Associated Infection Prevention and Control. Results of a European Study
Prevent and control healthcare-associated infections (HAIs) is a priority in healthcare assistance, not only due to
present COVID-19 pandemic. Annually, around 3.2 million patients are affected by one of these infections and it is
estimated that without controlling them, by 2050, 10 million more people could die every year, with especial
relevance among elderly with infectious situations representing a third of mortality in people over 65 years old.
Higher Education Institutions (HEI) in healthcare area have an important role in this panorama, by preparing
students to be future professionals, stimulating them to have an innovative and entrepreneurial approach to today’s
real-life challenges. A mixed-methods research was conducted, at European level (in Portugal, Finland, Poland and
Spain), to facilitate learning of good practices on HAIs prevention and control while developing innovative
solutions. 1475 participants were enrolled, from all partner HEI: 79 professors and mentors were interviewed
(individual or focus group), 1326 final year nursing students made a self-report inventory (application of
InovSafeCare Scale) and 70 students participated on focus group (agile piloting of the Model). The result of this
research is a pedagogical model that mixes dimensions and methods that take nursing students closer to the
demands of HAIs prevention and control and capacitates them to transfer knowledge to work settings with an
innovative and entrepreneurial perspective – the InovSafeCare Model.info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio
