Identification of cis-acting elements that regulate expression of the progesterone receptor gene PGR in the uterus.
Authors: Redecke Skylar
Published: September 2024

The steroid hormone progesterone regulates a wide range of functions in the uterus, including menstruation, pregnancy establishment, pregnancy maintenance, and labor. The cellular effects of progesterone are mediated by the nuclear progesterone receptor (PGR). Progesterone resistance, a decreased cellular response to progesterone,is implicated in a wide range of pathologies including endometriosis, preterm birth, and endometrial cancer. Up to 10% of females within reproductive age are impacted by endometriosis, and no cure is available. This study hypothesizes that misregulation of PGR by upstream regulators is a potential cause of progesterone resistance. However, much remains unknown about the regulation of PGR expression, including the location of enhancers and the identity of transcriptional regulators that control PGR expression. In this study, candidate regulatory elements of PGR were identified by integrative analysis of genomic data, and their function was tested using the CRISPR activation system, with PGR mRNA levels as the readout. Using these methods, two PGR enhancers located at the PGR 3’ untranslated region and 200 kbs upstream of the PGR transcription start site were identified. These enhancers permitted the identification of candidate upstream regulators of PGR expression in the uterus, including GATA2, ARID1A, KLF9, and ESR1. Activation of ESR1 increased PGR mRNA levels in the presence of estradiol in cultured uterine cells. Through the discovery of PGR regulators, we can improve our understanding of molecular mechanisms of progesterone resistance. Ultimately, these regulators could be evaluated in cases of progesterone resistance and targeted in the development of therapies.

A Correlational Study of the Relationship Between ChatGPT Usage & Cognitive Flexibility
Authors: Szymkiewicz Victoria , Carvalho Edgar , Ford Ezra
Published: September 2024

Amidst the growing integration of AI into educational practices, concerns arise regarding how unregulated interaction with AI outside the structured classroom environment may influence university students’ cognitive functions. This research examines the differential effects of ChatGPT usage intensity on university students’ cognitive flexibility. The researchers hypothesize a negative correlation between ChatGPT usage and cognitive flexibility, measurable by increased response times and decreased accuracy between the two tasks of the Arrow Switch Test. We employed this test to contrast the performance of frequent (participants who used ChatGPT ≥ 50% of the time on academic assignments) and infrequent (participants who used ChatGPT ≤ 35% of the time on academic assignments) groups. For the purpose of this study, infrequent users were used as a control group. Both groups displayed a statistically significant decrease in task accuracy—highlighting the Arrow Switch Task’s efficacy in assessing cognitive flexibility—and response time between the first and second task. Notably, infrequent users of ChatGPT demonstrated a larger decline in accuracy and response time following changed task conditions compared to frequent users. This finding calls for further investigation into the longitudinal effects of AI tools on learning processes, necessitating a larger sample size and a more granular analysis of usage patterns to understand the subtleties of AI’s impact on cognitive flexibility.

Algumas lembranças, que se acumulavam no baú da memória ao longo da vida, libertaram-se faz pouco mais de 1(um) ano e vieram à tona, reunidas em formato de livro com o nome “Retalhos da Vida”. Outras ficaram na fila, em “stand by”, aguardando sua vez de se apresentarem aos olhos de alguns leitores. Lembranças, que estavam adormecidas há mais tempo, juntaram-se a outras mais recentes e vieram à luz seguindo os passos das anteriores, como sendo uma segunda parte dos “Retalhos”, também oriundas do mesmo baú Narrações com roupagem de contos e comentários sobre acontecimentos atuais, à guisa de crônicas, vêm à tona com o intuito de expor a visão de alguém, que tem a intenção de partilhar com outros sua forma de ver o mundo tendo por norte o sentimento de gratidão a Deus, de respeito ao outro e de otimismo diante da vida. Se se quisesse saber o porquê da produção de certos textos, a resposta estaria simplesmente no desejo de revelar a importância que se deve dar a cada indivíduo, por ele ser o detentor da própria história. Isso é o bastante para merecer respeito e ter o reconhecimento da sociedade seja qual for o papel que desempenhe. Outra razão é a importância de se dar o devido valor ao que o Universo nos oferece, mas que nossas limitações nos impedem de enxergar: a beleza e a riqueza da Natureza. Como é que os olhos não percebem variedade de pássaros e animais? Como não percebem a infinidade de espécies de plantas tanto ornamentais quanto medicinais? Como deixar de ter a alegria, o encantamento e a leveza que as flores, com a magia de suas infinitas cores, dão ao espírito humano? Enfim, o presente de Deus é de uma grandeza incomensurável. Geralmente nos sentimos pequenos, incapazes de expressar nosso reconhecimento e gratidão pelo que Ele nos dá.
