  • A Physicochemical Perspective of Aging from Single-Cell Analysis Of
    TOOLS AND RESOURCES A physicochemical perspective of aging from single-cell analysis of pH, macromolecular and organellar crowding in yeast Sara N Mouton1, David J Thaller2, Matthew M Crane3, Irina L Rempel1, Owen T Terpstra1, Anton Steen1, Matt Kaeberlein3, C Patrick Lusk2, Arnold J Boersma4*, Liesbeth M Veenhoff1* 1European Research Institute for the Biology of Ageing, University of Groningen, University Medical Center Groningen, Groningen, Netherlands; 2Department of Cell Biology, Yale School of Medicine, New Haven, United States; 3Department of Pathology, School of Medicine, University of Washington, Seattle, United States; 4DWI-Leibniz Institute for Interactive Materials, Aachen, Germany Abstract Cellular aging is a multifactorial process that is characterized by a decline in homeostatic capacity, best described at the molecular level. Physicochemical properties such as pH and macromolecular crowding are essential to all molecular processes in cells and require maintenance. Whether a drift in physicochemical properties contributes to the overall decline of homeostasis in aging is not known. Here, we show that the cytosol of yeast cells acidifies modestly in early aging and sharply after senescence. Using a macromolecular crowding sensor optimized for long-term FRET measurements, we show that crowding is rather stable and that the stability of crowding is a stronger predictor for lifespan than the absolute crowding levels. Additionally, in aged cells, we observe drastic changes in organellar volume, leading to crowding on the *For correspondence: micrometer scale, which we term organellar crowding.

  • The Genetic Code: Dissected International Journal of Biology And
    International Journal of Biology and Genetics Research Article The Genetic Code: Dissected BOZEGHA WB* Numeration Science Literature, Development Research Project, Nigeria. Received: 04 January, 2021; Accepted: 08 January, 2021; Published: 15 January, 2021 *Corresponding Author: W.B.Bozegha, Numeration Science Literature, Development Research Project, Foubiri Sabagreia, Kolga, Bayelsa State, Nigeria. E-mail address: [email protected] Abstract Statement of the Problem: By genetic code, it is meant the true genetic code of 24 permutation quadruplets, which is a fabric segmented into quadruplet codons comprising the RNA four bases A,U,G,C (Adenine, Uracil, Guanine, Cytosine). Dissection is the gory experience of frogs and rabbits and the like of animals, when they become specimens, rather prisoners of war, in the hands of biologists and zoologists prosecuting anatomical studies in laboratories. To all intents and purposes the 24 quadruplet genetic code is now made such a specimen, though not in the hands of the traditional practitioners of dissection, but under a Numerationist from the perspective of Numeration as science of number and arrangement. Methodology and Theoretical Orientation: Bodies of the animal specimens under dissection are usually cut open with sharp instruments to expose their entrails for visual access in furtherance of anatomical studies. So the 24 quadruplet genetic code whose body is a segmented fabric or string of the RNA four bases A,U,G,C in diverse sequences called codons subjected to separation of its constituent nucleotide base types, though without cutting instruments, because they are amenable to dichotomization in terms of Purines and Pyrimidines. Findings: The 24 quadruplet genetic code is transformed into a two-winged creature upon dissection.

  • Disentangling Gold Open Access
    Forthcoming in Glanzel, W., Moed, H.F., Schmoch U., Thelwall, M. (2018). Springer Handbook of Science and Technology Indicators. Springer Disentangling Gold Open Access Daniel Torres-Salinas*, Nicolas Robinson-Garcia** and Henk F. Moed*** * Universidad de Granada (EC3metrics SL y Medialab-UGR) and Universidad de Navarra, Spain ** School of Public Policy, Georgia Institute of Technology, United States *** Visiting scholar, Universidad de Granada, Spain Abstract This chapter focuses on the analysis of current publication trends in gold Open Access (OA). The purpose of the chapter is to develop a full understanding on country patterns, OA journals characteristics and citation differences between gold OA and non-gold OA publications. For this, we will first review current literature regarding Open Access and its relation with its so-called citation advantage. Starting with a chronological perspective we will describe its development, how different countries are promoting OA publishing, and its effects on the journal publishing industry. We will deepen the analysis by investigating the research output produced by different units of analysis. First, we will focus on the production of countries with a special emphasis on citation and disciplinary differences. A point of interest will be identification of national idiosyncrasies and the relation between OA publication and research of local interest. This will lead to our second unit of analysis, OA journals indexed in Web of Science. Here we will deepen on journals characteristics and publisher types to clearly identify factors which may affect citation differences between OA and traditional journals which may not necessarily be derived from the OA factor. Gold OA publishing is being encouraged in many countries as opposed to Green OA.
