description: Biofilms are ubiquitous in nature and in the man-made environment. Given their harmful effects on human health, an in-depth understanding of biofilms and the monitoring of their formation and growth are important. Particularly relevant for many metabolic processes and survival strategies of biofilms is their extracellular pH. However, most conventional techniques are not suited for minimally invasive pH measurements of living biofilms. Here, a fluorescent nanosensor is presented for ratiometric measurements of pH in biofilms in the range of pH 4.5–9.5 using confocal laser scanning microscopy. The nanosensor consists of biocompatible polystyrene nanoparticles loaded with pH-inert dye Nile Red and is surface functionalized with a pH-responsive fluorescein dye. Its performance was validated by fluorometrically monitoring the time-dependent changes in pH in E. coli biofilms after glucose inoculation at 37 °C and 4 °C. This revealed a temperature-dependent decrease in pH over a 4-h period caused by the acidifying glucose metabolism of E. coli. These studies demonstrate the applicability of this nanosensor to characterize the chemical microenvironment in biofilms with fluorescence methods.

description: ABSTRACT Emotions, and consequently facial expressions, play an essential role in communication - and thus in everyday life. With the increase of human-machine interactions, and more especially of multimedia applications, automatic recognition of facial expressions has emerged as a challenging task, particularly under naturalistic conditions. In the present work, a benchmark is firstly conducted using four open source deep learning solutions on four labeled image datasets. Thanks to an exhaustive analysis based on two distinct, yet complementary approaches, we show how the four models performed depending on the studied emotions. Furthermore, we present a novel metric based on the Euclidean distance between two given emotions (i.e., ground truth and predicted) to better measure the performance of said models in the context of interactive media, where human sensibility needs to be taken into consideration.

description: Alon and Shikhelman [J. Comb. Theory, B. 121 (2016)] initiated the systematic study of the following generalized Turán problem: for fixed graphs H and F and an integer n, what is the maximum number of copies of H in an n-vertex F-free graph? An edge-colored graph is called rainbow if all its edges have different colors. The rainbow Turán number of F is defined as the maximum number of edges in a properly edge-colored graph on n vertices with no rainbow copy of F. The study of rainbow Turán problems was initiated by Keevash, Mubayi, Sudakov and Verstraete [Comb. Probab. Comput. 16 (2007)]. Motivated by the above problems, we study the following problem: What is the maximum number of copies of F in a properly edge-colored graph on n vertices without a rainbow copy of F? We establish several results, including when F is a path, cycle or tree.

description: The design of molecular water oxidation catalysts (WOCs) requires a rational approach that considers the intermediate steps of the catalytic cycle, including water binding, deprotonation, storage of oxidizing equivalents, O–O bond formation, and O2 release. We investigated several of these properties for a series of base metal complexes (M = Mn, Fe, Co, Ni) bearing two variants of a pentapyridyl ligand framework, of which some were reported previously to be active WOCs. We found that only [Fe(Py5OMe)Cl]+ (Py5OMe = pyridine-2,6-diylbis[di-(pyridin-2-yl)methoxymethane]) showed an appreciable catalytic activity with a turnover number (TON) = 130 in light-driven experiments using the [Ru(bpy)3]2+/S2O82– system at pH 8.0, but that activity is demonstrated to arise from the rapid degradation in the buffered solution leading to the formation of catalytically active amorphous iron oxide/hydroxide (FeOOH), which subsequently lost the catalytic activity by forming more extensive and structured FeOOH species. The detailed analysis of the redox and water-binding properties employing electrochemistry, X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS), UV–vis spectroscopy, and density-functional theory (DFT) showed that all complexes were able to undergo the MIII/MII oxidation, but none was able to yield a detectable amount of a MIV state in our potential window (up to +2 V vs SHE). This inability was traced to (i) the preference for binding Cl– or acetonitrile instead of water-derived species in the apical position, which excludes redox leveling via proton coupled electron transfer, and (ii) the lack of sigma donor ligands that would stabilize oxidation states beyond MIII. On that basis, design features for next-generation molecular WOCs are suggested.

description: Motivation Nanopore sequencers allow targeted sequencing of interesting nucleotide sequences by rejecting other sequences from individual pores. This feature facilitates the enrichment of low-abundant sequences by depleting overrepresented ones in-silico. Existing tools for adaptive sampling either apply signal alignment, which cannot handle human-sized reference sequences, or apply read mapping in sequence space relying on fast graphical processing units (GPU) base callers for real-time read rejection. Using nanopore long-read mapping tools is also not optimal when mapping shorter reads as usually analyzed in adaptive sampling applications. Results Here, we present a new approach for nanopore adaptive sampling that combines fast CPU and GPU base calling with read classification based on Interleaved Bloom Filters. ReadBouncer improves the potential enrichment of low abundance sequences by its high read classification sensitivity and specificity, outperforming existing tools in the field. It robustly removes even reads belonging to large reference sequences while running on commodity hardware without GPUs, making adaptive sampling accessible for in-field researchers. Readbouncer also provides a user-friendly interface and installer files for end-users without a bioinformatics background.

description: In this study we aim at refining our understanding of the floristic connectivity of the loma- and precordillera floras of southern Peru and northern Chile and the parameters determining vegetation cover in this region. We used multivariate analyses to test for floristic- and environmental similarity across 53 precordillera and loma locations in Peru and Chile. We propose the use of predictive modeling in estimating the extent of desert vegetation as a complementary method to remote sensing. We created habitat suitability models for the vegetation on the coast and in the precordillera based on a combination of latent bioclimatic variables and additional environmental predictors using Maxent. We found Peruvian and Chilean lomas to be strongly floristically differentiated, as are the Chilean precordillera and lomas. Conversely, there is clear connectivity between both the Peruvian loma- and precordillera floras on the one hand and the Peruvian and Chilean precordillera floras on the other. Divergent environmental conditions were retrieved as separating the precordillera and lomas, while environmental conditions are not differentiated between Peruvian and Chilean lomas. Peruvian and Chilean precordilleras show a gradual change in environmental conditions. Habitat suitability models of vegetation cover retrieve a gap for the loma vegetation along the coast between Peru and Chile, while a continuous belt of suitable habitats is retrieved along the Andean precordillera. Unsuitable habitat for loma vegetation north and south of the Chilean and Peruvian border likely represents an ecogeographic barrier responsible for the floristic divergence of Chilean and Peruvian lomas. Conversely, environmental parameters change continuously along the precordilleras, explaining the moderate differentiation of the corresponding floras. Our results underscore the idea of the desert core acting as an ecogeographic barrier separating the coast from the precordillera in Chile, while it has a more limited isolating function in Peru. We also find extensive potentially suitable habitats for both loma- and precordillera vegetation so far undetected by methods of remote sensing.
How young Catholics come to faith: Why they continue to practics their faith and how they understand their identity as Catholics
Creators: name: McKinley, Diana
Publisher: name: Australian Catholic University
Year: 2011

description: "The purpose of this study was to investigate how young Catholics came to faith and why they continued to practise their Catholic faith, despite falling Mass attendance generally. The study used a qualitative methodology to examine the faith development of twenty-three young Catholic adults aged twenty-one to forty years from six dioceses in Australia. The research found there were seven main factors that influenced the faith development of these young Catholics; a. faith based family,b. well run retreats and events like World Youth Day, c. welcoming and faithful parishes, d. regular prayer, e. spiritual music, f. faith education, and g. spiritual mentors. The principal factor in this process of faith development was the influence of highly committed and practising Catholic parents, both of whom gave the same religious message to their children. Parents who provided a stable home for their children AND socialised their children into the Catholic faith had faith-filled children in this cohort. Socialising children into the faith involved family prayer, talking to children regularly about matters of faith, being involved themselves in the life of the parish, and taking their children to Mass and reconciliation. Well run retreats and events like World Youth Day were extremely important for faith development because they met like minded Catholics, enjoyed good music, and received good catechesis relevant to their lives. All of which had occurred in an enjoyable environment. Faith filled communities where the young person attended Mass and received the Eucharist provided a spiritual base where they felt welcome and comfortable. Regular prayer was shown to be important for both the development and maintenance of faith. These young adults revealed an eclectic choice of prayer as did their spiritual music preferences. Listening to spiritual music lifted their spirit toward contemplation. Formal faith education assisted in the development of faith and helped young people to accept and personalise what they had been taught as children. Participants in the study who had experienced the influence of a spiritual mentor found that the spiritual mentor had helped them to discover new and relevant ways of being a practising Christian and approaching life. The research also discovered that being Catholic was intrinsic to the identity of these young adults. "
The community development concepts of the Igorot indigenous peoples in Benguet, Philippines

description: This research explores the concept of community development among the Igorot Indigenous Peoples in Benguet, Philippines. It investigates the Igorots’ understanding of their community in relation to their culture and their interaction with the ‘modern’ world. It explores Igorot perspectives on the relevance of their culture in obtaining their ‘desired development’ within the present realities of their community. Exploring culturally and academically appropriate methods of conducting research with Indigenous populations such as the Igorot community was an important process of this study. This research reveals that Indigenous researchers undertaking research in their own communities have no ‘automatic credibility’ in navigating and utilising Indigenous Peoples’ knowledge ways (Pohlhuas 2002). Drawing from Indigenous methodologies, the research employed Indigenous research methods using Igorot traditional ways of learning. The findings of the study reveal that the Igorot understanding of community is a combination of colonial and traditional culture and values. The participants argue that although they cannot fully practice their traditional culture as their ancestors did, they still recognise its significance in their present lives. This research explores the Igorots’ coping and adapting mechanisms including the establishing of peoples organisations and informal education as ways of working in the community. Specific models of community development, that utilise the strengths of the culture are explored which confirm that cultural context and knowledge systems are an essential component in researching and working with Indigenous Peoples. By recognising and appropriately using the strengths of cultural identity, consciousness and traditional values that the Igorots have, community workers are able to provide opportunities for the people to revive their traditional communal and relational living. The Igorots demonstrate that ‘prescribed development systems’ can be of great advantage to their community when deconstructed and viewed from the ‘window of the peoples’ culture’. Most importantly, the participants in this study have shown that Indigenous Peoples’ despite being historical ‘victims’ of development have the capabilities to as ‘active contributors’ to their own and to mainstream community development.

description: In this paper we identify a previously unexplored type of topological defect in spiral spin liquids—the momentum vortex—and reveal its dominant role in shaping the low-energy physics of such systems. Spiral spin liquids are a class of classical spin liquids featuring subextensively degenerate ground states. They are distinct from spin liquids on geometrically frustrated lattices, in which the ground-state degeneracy is extensive and connected by local spin flips. Despite a handful of experimental realizations and many theoretical studies, a concrete physical picture of their spin liquidity has not been established so far. In this paper, we study a 2D spiral spin liquid model to answer this question. We find that the local momentum vector field can carry topological defects in the form of vortices, which, however, have very different properties from the commonly known spin vortices. The fluctuations of such vortices lead the system into a liquid phase at intermediate temperatures. Furthermore, the effective low-energy theory of such vortices indicates their equivalence to quadrupoles of fractons in a rank-2 U(1) gauge theory or, alternatively, to quadrupoles of disclinations in elasticity theory. At very low temperatures, the system freezes into a glassy state in which these vortices form a rigid network with straight-line domain walls. Our paper sheds light on the nature of spiral spin liquids and also paves the way toward understanding their quantum limit.

Remarks: Marini (1974) and Rios (1975, 1985, 1994) recorded this species as Verticordia acuticostata (R. A. Philippi, 1844) and Verticordia deshayesiana (P. Fischer, 1862). Rios (2009) considered S. tinga “just an extreme variation” of S. agnes. Spinopsipella tinga was recorded from the southernmost Brazilian State of Rio Grande do Sul, suggesting its occurrence in the Argentine province. However, it was not noticed from Uruguay by Scarabino et al. (2016), nor from Argentina by Zelaya (2016), and so it is here considered as endemic from Brazil.

description: Subtribe Scorzonerinae (Cichorieae, Asteraceae) contains 12 main lineages and approximately 300 species. Relationships within the subtribe, either at inter- or intrageneric levels, were largely unresolved in phylogenetic studies to date, due to the lack of phylogenetic signal provided by traditional Sanger sequencing markers. In this study, we employed a phylogenomics approach (Hyb-Seq) that targets 1,061 nuclear-conserved ortholog loci designed for Asteraceae and obtained chloroplast coding regions as a by-product of off-target reads. Our objectives were to evaluate the potential of the Hyb-Seq approach in resolving the phylogenetic relationships across the subtribe at deep and shallow nodes, investigate the relationships of major lineages at inter- and intrageneric levels, and examine the impact of the different datasets and approaches on the robustness of phylogenetic inferences. We analyzed three nuclear datasets: exon only, excluding all potentially paralogous loci; exon only, including loci that were only potentially paralogous in 1–3 samples; exon plus intron regions (supercontigs); and the plastome CDS region. Phylogenetic relationships were reconstructed using both multispecies coalescent and concatenation (Maximum Likelihood and Bayesian analyses) approaches. Overall, our phylogenetic reconstructions recovered the same monophyletic major lineages found in previous studies and were successful in fully resolving the backbone phylogeny of the subtribe, while the internal resolution of the lineages was comparatively poor. The backbone topologies were largely congruent among all inferences, but some incongruent relationships were recovered between nuclear and plastome datasets, which are discussed and assumed to represent cases of cytonuclear discordance. Considering the newly resolved phylogenies, a new infrageneric classification of Scorzonera in its revised circumscription is proposed.

description: Humans can effortlessly categorize objects, both when they are conveyed through visual images and spoken words. To resolve the neural correlates of object categorization, studies have so far primarily focused on the visual modality. It is therefore still unclear how the brain extracts categorical information from auditory signals. In the current study, we used EEG (n = 48) and time-resolved multivariate pattern analysis to investigate 1) the time course with which object category information emerges in the auditory modality and 2) how the representational transition from individual object identification to category representation compares between the auditory modality and the visual modality. Our results show that 1) auditory object category representations can be reliably extracted from EEG signals and 2) a similar representational transition occurs in the visual and auditory modalities, where an initial representation at the individual-object level is followed by a subsequent representation of the objects’ category membership. Altogether, our results suggest an analogous hierarchy of information processing across sensory channels. However, there was no convergence toward conceptual modality-independent representations, thus providing no evidence for a shared supramodal code. NEW & NOTEWORTHY Object categorization operates on inputs from different sensory modalities, such as vision and audition. This process was mainly studied in vision. Here, we explore auditory object categorization. We show that auditory object category representations can be reliably extracted from EEG signals and, similar to vision, auditory representations initially carry information about individual objects, which is followed by a subsequent representation of the objects’ category membership.

description: ABSTRACT With the development of automotive industry and transport infrastructure, the number of drivers continues to grow rapidly, and fatigue driving becomes increasingly prominent as one of the major factors causing traffic accidents. Relevant researches show that many traffic accidents can be effectively avoided if the fatigue state of the drivers is monitored in real-time and corresponding alerts are issued in the early period of fatigue driving. At present, driving fatigue state has been recognized through diverse technologies, with the main detection methods based on driving operation data, facial data, or physiological data. The detection method based on driving operation data is the most traditional method, and is easy to implement. Nevertheless, due to the influences of road conditions, operation habits and climate conditions, the accuracy is relatively low. With the rise of computer vision technology, the method based on facial data is gradually applied to identify driving fatigue state. However, the method can only detect the fatigue state until it is obvious, and cannot predict it at the early stage. Moreover, the accuracy is greatly affected by ambient light and drivers’ sitting postures. The detection method based on physiological signals may be the best choice, but, there are only technological fruits applicable to lab environment instead of products that meet industrial standards in the market so far. This paper will introduce the global first intelligent driving fatigue detection system (IDFDS) based on advanced bio-sensing and physiological computing technology. With an intelligent ring, a mobile app and a management system, the IDFDS can be customized for different industries. It has been an important part of the central control system of car makers so far, and is expected to be tested and accepted by car makers in July 2020, and to hit the market in September 2020. Besides, the IDFDS can also be provided to the investigators who are interested in fatigue driving as an experimental research platform. HOW TO CITE (APA) Wang, L. (2022).

The origins of the convent high school in Europe and its implantation and evolution in the Antipodes – St. Rita’s College, Brisbane, as a case study (1926-2008)
Creators: name: Barbaro, Anna
Publisher: name: Australian Catholic University
Year: 2011

description: This thesis investigates the origins of convent high school education in Australia. In particular it presents a case study of St Rita’s College at Clayfield, Queensland, a Catholic girls’ secondary college that has evolved within the long history of women’s education. St Rita’s College was established by the Presentation Order of the Blessed Virgin Mary in 1926. The background study in Part II (chapters two to four) is an essential element of the thesis as it situates such Catholic women’s educational institutions in their historical context. The case study in Part III (chapters five to ten) concerns the history of St Rita’s College and the impact of historical, religious and social forces from its foundation in 1926 through to 2008 when the last Presentation Sister to serve as college principal completed her term of office. This thesis focuses particularly on the empowerment and transformation traditions of convent high school education. Such a continuing thread can be traced through both the prehistory and history of St Rita’s up to the present point where the college is facing a major challenge of its existence: transition from sponsorship and administration by its founding religious congregation to a new form of governance. A central question answered by this thesis is: How has St Rita’s history reflected the empowerment and transformation traditions of the convent high school? This thesis establishes and demonstrates that modern Catholic girls’ secondary colleges do not stand on their own but instead share one distinctive tradition of convent high school education. (...)
An investigation of the linkages between leadership, learning and student engagement

description: "Education, or specifically, the nature of the learning experiences occurring in the classrooms of today, has been a fertile area for researchers and commentators as the discourse engages with the need to provide authentic learning experiences for students of the 21st century. This study explored the experiences of participants in a change project conducted in a Catholic secondary and primary school. The project entitled InteL, (an abbreviation of Integrated Learning), was part of a larger venture involving the Australian Catholic University and a further eight schools in four Catholic Dioceses across New South Wales. This venture was called Leaders Transforming Learning and Learners (LTLL). Using InteL as its base, this study examined the linkages between leadership and learning as it affected student engagement in two schools. The research is significant because it explored the relationship between leadership, learning and student engagement. This study looked at a broader definition of leadership which moved beyond the formal school leadership of the Principal or the Assistant Principal to leadership that was both distributed and transformative in nature (Crowther, 2004; Fullan, 2003b; Harris, 2005, 2008, 2009a; Leithwood and Jantzi, 2005a). It explored the impact of leadership on authentic learning experiences and student engagement. The focus was on leadership for learning. The emphasis was on an investigation of leadership that had an impact on and increased the engagement of students through authentic learning experiences..."

description: An investigation of shock diffraction through a non-quiescent background medium is presented using both experimental and numerical techniques. Unlike diffracting shocks in quiescent media, a spatial distortion of the shock front occurs, producing a region of constant shock angle. An example of this process arises in the exhaust from a pulse-detonation combustor. As the background velocity is increased, such as through the inclusion of a converging nozzle at the exhaust, the spatial distortion becomes more apparent. Numerical simulations using a compressible Euler solver demonstrate that the distortion is not due to the geometrical influence of the nozzle, but rather is a function of the magnitude of the background flow velocity. The distortion is studied using a modified geometrical shock dynamics formulation which includes the background flow and is validated against experiments. A simple model is presented to predict the shock distortion angle in the weak-shock limit. Finally, the axial decay behaviour of the shock is investigated and it is shown that the advection of the shock by the background flow delays the arrival of the head and tail of the expansion characteristic at the centreline. This leads to an increase in the rate of decay of the shock Mach number as the background flow velocity is increased.

description: Extrachromosomal DNA (ecDNA) are circularized genomic rearrangements found outside canonical chromosomes, associated with promoting tumorigenesis and shortened survival for patients across cancer types. Given their increasing relevance in cancer progression, there is a need for a more precise understanding of ecDNA structure to inform function. Existing tools to identify and predict ecDNA structures are limited to low throughput, high sensitivity assay-based methods or high throughput, low sensitivity probability-based inference methods using whole-genome sequencing data. Evaluating the impact of ecDNA on tumor progression requires large cohorts with comprehensive clinical follow-up, as is available for large-scale genomics cohorts such as The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) or the International Cancer Genome Consortium (ICGC). Thus, it would be valuable to leverage these substantial sequencing data while improving confidence in ecDNA structural predictions. Here we present ecDNAInspector, a novel tool to refine ecDNA predictions from sequencing data. To characterize and compare ecDNA predictions, ecDNAInspector calculates metrics based on structural features and compares these metrics for an individual cycle against distributions for a user-provided cohort. To enable quality control and filtering of individual cycle predictions, ecDNAInspector reports likely mapping errors at breakends and leverages orthogonal structural variant (SV) calls to validate predicted breakpoints. Unsupervised clustering is then used to identify high-confidence ecDNA cycles. Applying ecDNAInspector to a HER2+ breast tumor cohort, we found a subset of ecDNA cycles with strong SV support and high conservation of oncogene inclusion, including ERBB2, encoding HER2. ecDNAInspector enables higher-confidence utilization of sequencing data predictions in studies of ecDNA structure.

description: Laser scanning from different acquisition platforms enables the collection of 3D point clouds from different perspectives and with varying resolutions. These point clouds allow us to retrieve detailed information on the individual tree and forest structure. We conducted airborne laser scanning (ALS), uncrewed aerial vehicle (UAV)-borne laser scanning (ULS) and terrestrial laser scanning (TLS) in two German mixed forests with species typical of central Europe. We provide the spatially overlapping, georeferenced point clouds for 12 forest plots. As a result of individual tree extraction, we furthermore present a comprehensive database of tree point clouds and corresponding tree metrics. Tree metrics were derived from the point clouds and, for half of the plots, also measured in the field. Our dataset may be used for the creation of 3D tree models for radiative transfer modeling or lidar simulation studies or to fit allometric equations between point cloud metrics and forest inventory variables. It can further serve as a benchmark dataset for different algorithms and machine learning tasks, in particular automated individual tree segmentation, tree species classification or forest inventory metric prediction. The dataset and supplementary metadata are available for download, hosted by the PANGAEA data publisher at https://doi.org/10.1594/PANGAEA.942856 (Weiser et al., 2022a).

description: The design of low-dimensional organic–inorganic interfaces for the next generation of opto-electronic applications requires in-depth understanding of the microscopic mechanisms ruling electronic interactions in these systems. In this work, we present a first-principles study based on density-functional theory inspecting the structural, energetic, and electronic properties of five molecular donors and acceptors adsorbed on freestanding hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) and molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) monolayers. All considered interfaces are stable, due to the crucial contribution of dispersion interactions, which are maximized by the overall flat arrangement of the physisorbed molecules on both substrates. The level alignment of the hybrid systems depends on the characteristics of the constituents. On hBN, both type-I and type-II interfaces may form, depending on the relative energies of the frontier orbitals with respect to the vacuum level. On the other hand, all MoS2-based hybrid systems exhibit a type-II level alignment, with the molecular frontier orbitals positioned across the energy gap of the semiconductor. The electronic structure of the hybrid materials is further determined by the formation of interfacial dipole moments and by the wave-function hybridization between the organic and inorganic constituents. These results provide important indications for the design of novel low-dimensional hybrid materials with suitable characteristics for opto-electronics.

description: Liquid-microjet-based X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy was applied to aqueous triiodide solutions, I3−(aq.), to investigate the anion's valence- and core-level electronic structure, ionization dynamics, associated electron-correlation effects, and nuclear geometric structure. The roles of multi-active-electron (shake-up) ionization processes – with noted sensitivity to the solute geometric structure – were investigated through I3−(aq.) solution valence, I 4d, and I 3d core-level measurements. The experimental spectra were interpreted with the aid of simulated photoelectron spectra, built upon multi-reference ab initio electronic structure calculations associated with different I3−(aq.) molecular geometries. A comparison of the single-to-multi-active-electron ionization signal ratios extracted from the experimental and theoretical core-level photoemission spectra suggests that the ground state of the solute adopts a near-linear average geometry in aqueous solutions. This contrasts with the interpretation of time-resolved X-ray solution scattering studies, but is found to be fully consistent with the rest of the solution-phase I3−(aq.) literature. Comparing the results of low- and high-photon-energy photoemission measurements, we further suggest that the aqueous anion adopts a more asymmetric geometry at the aqueous–solution–gas interface than in the aqueous bulk.

description: Cerebral organoids exhibit broad regional heterogeneity accompanied by limited cortical cellular diversity despite the tremendous upsurge in derivation methods, suggesting inadequate patterning of early neural stem cells (NSCs). Here we show that a short and early Dual SMAD and WNT inhibition course is necessary and sufficient to establish robust and lasting cortical organoid NSC identity, efficiently suppressing non-cortical NSC fates, while other widely used methods are inconsistent in their cortical NSC-specification capacity. Accordingly, this method selectively enriches for outer radial glia NSCs, which cyto-architecturally demarcate well-defined outer sub-ventricular-like regions propagating from superiorly radially organized, apical cortical rosette NSCs. Finally, this method culminates in the emergence of molecularly distinct deep and upper cortical layer neurons, and reliably uncovers cortex-specific microcephaly defects. Thus, a short SMAD and WNT inhibition is critical for establishing a rich cortical cell repertoire that enables mirroring of fundamental molecular and cyto-architectural features of cortical development and meaningful disease modelling.
