    5 Six Canonical Projects by Rem Koolhaas has been part of the international avant-garde since the nineteen-seventies and has been named the Pritzker Rem Koolhaas Architecture Prize for the year 2000. This book, which builds on six canonical projects, traces the discursive practice analyse behind the design methods used by Koolhaas and his office + OMA. It uncovers recurring key themes—such as wall, void, tur montage, trajectory, infrastructure, and shape—that have tek structured this design discourse over the span of Koolhaas’s Essays on the History of Ideas oeuvre. The book moves beyond the six core pieces, as well: It explores how these identified thematic design principles archi manifest in other works by Koolhaas as both practical re- Ingrid Böck applications and further elaborations. In addition to Koolhaas’s individual genius, these textual and material layers are accounted for shaping the very context of his work’s relevance. By comparing the design principles with relevant concepts from the architectural Zeitgeist in which OMA has operated, the study moves beyond its specific subject—Rem Koolhaas—and provides novel insight into the broader history of architectural ideas. Ingrid Böck is a researcher at the Institute of Architectural Theory, Art History and Cultural Studies at the Graz Ingrid Böck University of Technology, Austria. “Despite the prominence and notoriety of Rem Koolhaas … there is not a single piece of scholarly writing coming close to the … length, to the intensity, or to the methodological rigor found in the manuscript

  • Reappraisal of Metabolic Dysfunction in Neurodegeneration: Focus on Mitochondrial Function and Calcium Signaling Pooja Jadiya, Joanne F
    Jadiya et al. acta neuropathol commun (2021) 9:124 https://doi.org/10.1186/s40478-021-01224-4 REVIEW Open Access Reappraisal of metabolic dysfunction in neurodegeneration: Focus on mitochondrial function and calcium signaling Pooja Jadiya, Joanne F. Garbincius and John W. Elrod* Abstract The cellular and molecular mechanisms that drive neurodegeneration remain poorly defned. Recent clinical trial fail- ures, difcult diagnosis, uncertain etiology, and lack of curative therapies prompted us to re-examine other hypothe- ses of neurodegenerative pathogenesis. Recent reports establish that mitochondrial and calcium dysregulation occur early in many neurodegenerative diseases (NDDs), including Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, Huntington’s disease, and others. However, causal molecular evidence of mitochondrial and metabolic contributions to pathogen- esis remains insufcient. Here we summarize the data supporting the hypothesis that mitochondrial and metabolic dysfunction result from diverse etiologies of neuropathology. We provide a current and comprehensive review of the literature and interpret that defective mitochondrial metabolism is upstream and primary to protein aggregation and other dogmatic hypotheses of NDDs. Finally, we identify gaps in knowledge and propose therapeutic modulation of 2 mCa + exchange and mitochondrial function to alleviate metabolic impairments and treat NDDs.
