Oncogenic signaling stimulates the dynamic remodeling of actin microfilaments and substrate adhesions, essential for cell spreading motility.Transformation is associated with increased expression 1,6GlcNAcbranched N-glycans, products Golgi 1,6-acetylglucosaminyltransferase V (Mgat5) favored ligand galectins.Herein we report that fibronectin fibrillogenesis fibronectin-dependent are deficient in Mgat5 ؊/؊ mammary epithelial tumor cells inhibited ؉/؉ by blocking N-glycan processing...
Digital media continue to reshape political activism in unexpected ways. Within a period of few years, the internet-enabled UK citizens’ movement 38 Degrees has amassed membership 3 million and now sits alongside similar entities such as America’s MoveOn, Australia’s GetUp! transnational Avaaz. In this article, we contribute current thinking about digital mobilisation by addressing some limitations existing research on these movements more generally. We show how Degrees’ network repertoires...
This article examines how the UK political organization Momentum uses social media within its campaigning. Drawing on a mixed-method research design, combining interviews with activists in Portsmouth and discourse analysis of content posted Facebook Twitter, this tests whether leadership provides meaningful influence for members. At national level, there is little evidence fulfilling "people-powered" vision. Instead, supporters are instructed to undertake tasks at direction leadership....
The Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome (WAS) is an X-linked immune deficiency disorder characterized clinically by both lymphocyte and platelet dysfunction. Studies of WAS T lymphocytes have revealed deficient or defective cell surface expression the highly O-glycosylated leucocyte sialoglycoprotein CD43. To further elucidate basis for, functional relevance of, CD43 modifications on lymphocytes, we studied from two patients with regard to membrane glycoprotein profile mitogen-induced proliferative...
Previous studies demonstrated that growth in DBA/2 mice of MDW4, a wheat germ agglutinin-resistant (WGAr) mutant the highly metastatic MDAY-D2 mouse tumor, led to emergence WGA-sensitive (WGAs) revertants having higher ploidy levels at site inoculation as well distant visceral metastases. The results implied MDW4 was nonmetastatic but progressed become vivo only after cellular change took place which accompanied by extinction WGAr phenotype and acquisition number chromosomes. Results...
This article analyses two digital-native news organisations, BuzzFeed News UK and Vice (UK), explores how they use emotional forms of storytelling in their election reporting. Drawing on a qualitative textual analysis 280 articles published during the 2017 general election, we scrutinise visual elements across three distinct groupings: (1) language tone; (2) visual, formatting, interaction, (3) production editorial choices. We argue that draw an vernacular to engage with relate young...
This article examines how young people (18–24) in England who experience social inequality consumed news during the first national Covid-19 lockdown. Described as "infodemically vulnerable" due to their reliance on media for news, I draw 25 interviews consider if this underresearched population was exposed harmful information. Contrary fears, participants maintained a constant awareness of essential information throughout period. They used substantively different consumption practices...
This study examines social media responses to the 13 November 2015 Paris attacks by Islamic State. First impressions of over 2,000,000 tweets containing hashtags #PrayforParis and #PrayforSyria suggested a conflation three issues: (1) Migration: were attackers homegrown or carrying overseas passports? (2) Violence: why was attacked is France bombing State? (3) Media: what role should mainstream play during events that are local global, unique yet part series? However, instead conflating...
