Regulating Payday Lending
The 2017 Rule on Payday, Vehicle Title, and Certain High-Cost Installment Loans issued by the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) aimed to curb debt traps and better protect consumers from predatory small-dollar lending practices. By mandating ability-to repay analyses, limiting rollovers, …

Molecular mechanisms regulating implantation
Implantation, a critical early event during pregnancy, is a three stage process. It starts with apposition and adhesion of the blastocyst to a receptive uterine epithelium which is then followed by invasion of the blastocyst into a decidualizing stroma. These stages are tightly regulated by steroid …

MOLECULAR MECHANISMS REGULATING SPINE REMODELLING
N-Cadherin plays an important role during dendrite arborisation, axon guidance and synaptogenesys. In particular, at synaptic sites, it is required for activity-dependent synaptic plasticity and dendritic spine remodeling. Recent studies have shown that N-Cadherin can be cleaved by the …

Regulating competitive balance in sport
Sport is an integral part of popular culture, capturing the hearts and minds of millions of people from every section of society 1. Maintaining competitive balance in sport is essential in preserving its long term survival. A higher uncertainty of outcome in contests is likely to result in greater …

Regulating cryptocurrencies in South Africa
… have not universally agreed on how to approach regulating cryptocurrency activity, are seeking the best approaches to ensuring financial stability. This paper looks at the risk posed by cryptocurrencies and how to regulate the activities. It applies this directly to the South African context and …

Delineating the molecular mechanisms regulating chondrogenesis
Sox9, (SRY-type HMG box), has been shown to play a critical role throughout chondrogenesis. Haploinsufficiency of Sox9 in humans leads to a skeletal malformation syndrome known as campomelic dysplasia. To understand the regulation of Sox9 during chondrogenesis, the developing mouse limb was used to …

Protein Factors Regulating Mitochondrial Respiratory Supercomplexes
… called supercomplexes (ETC SCs). Protein factors regulating ETC SCs remain largely unknown despite their fundamental implications to mitochondrial respiratory function. Recent knock-out studies have delineated external ETC proteins HIGD1A and HIGD2A as assembly factors of ETC complexes III and IV, …

Regulating rsmA Expression in Pseudomonas aeruginosa
<p><em>Pseudomonas aeruginosa</em>, a Gram-negative bacillus, commonly infects immunocompromised individuals and uses a variety of virulence factors to persist in these hosts. The posttranscriptional regulator, RsmA, plays a role in the expression of many virulence factors in <em>P. …

Mechanisms Regulating Pulmonary Sensitivity to Radiation
<p>At the present time, here is no approved medical countermeasure (MCM) for mitigating or treating pneumonitis/fibrosis following acute radiation exposure. Since it is neither ethical nor feasible to evaluate potential MCMs against radiation injury in the clinical setting, the FDA permits MCM …

Signals Regulating Organelle Transport in Melanophores
To investigate the mechanisms of regulation of motor proteins driving melanosome transport, the phosphorylation states of the motors and the levels of motors on the organelles were examined. Immunoprecipitation of myosin V showed that the motor subunit is more heavily phosphorylated in cells …

Regulating visual awareness during binocular rivalry
The brain has a limited processing capacity, which means that we can only be aware of a limited amount of information hitting the retina at any given moment in time. Not surprisingly, we very often experience failures in updates to our conscious experience of the world, for instance failures to …

Physical Factors Regulating Human Trophoblast Invasion
Pre-eclampsia, fetal growth restriction and stillbirth are major pregnancy disorders throughout the world. The underlying pathogenesis of these diseases is defective placentation characterised by inadequate invasion of extravillous trophoblast (EVT) cells into the uterine decidua. This invasion is …

Defining, measuring and regulating energy security
Energy security is one of the three pillars of energy policy next to environmental sustainability and economic efficiency. Despite its importance for policy making, there is no agreement about the definition of energy security and the metrics that could be used to measure the efficiency of …

Regulating new construction in historic areas
This study is an examination of how the restrictiveness of different design regulations impacts the process of new construction in historic areas. The North End, South End, and Back Bay neighborhoods of Boston were identified as historic areas that possessed increasingly restrictive design …

Mechanisms Regulating The P120-Catenin/Kaiso Pathway
<p> <p> The Wnt pathways contribute to many processes in cancer and developmental biology, with β-catenin being a key canonical component. P120-catenin, which is structurally similar to β-catenin, regulates the expression of certain Wnt target genes, relieving repression conferred by the POZ/ …

Examining Mechanisms Regulating Microtubule Assembly and Function
<p>Microtubules are cytoskeletal polymers assembled from α and β tubulin subunits that function in essentially all cellular activities. Microtubules can act as "tracks" for intracellular cargo transport, are required for cilia- and flagella-based motility, and establish cell morphology in …

Regulating competence-based access to agent societies
Advances in ubiquitous computing have resulted in changes to the way we access and use everyday applications, e.g. reading mail and booking tickets. At the same time, users interact with these applications in a variety of ways, each with different characteristics, e.g., different degrees of …

EPIGENETIC MODIFICATIONS REGULATING LIVER HOMEOSTASIS AND TUMORIGENESIS
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is one of the most common tumors worldwide and the fourth cause of death. The major risk factors predisposing to HCC are well known although the lack of reliable markers and efficient pharmacological treatments for HCC patients remains a major problem. In the recent …
