Casm In Relation To Blood Brain Barrier Integrity In Case Of Ischemic/Reperfusion Injury., Ali Mubashshir
International Visiting Researcher Showcase
Ischemic stroke-induced blood-brain barrier (BBB) disruption plays a critical role in the progression of neuroinflammation and exacerbates neuronal injury. The LANDO pathway involved in endocytosis has been implicated in regulating receptor recycling and immune cell responses. Using LANDO-deficient transgenic mice, we investigated the role of LANDO in ischemia-induced BBB dysfunction. Our results show that LANDO deficiency leads to increased BBB permeability and more severe cerebral edema, as evidenced by Evans blue extravasation and plasma IgG infiltration. This heightened permeability correlates with an increase in infarct size, neurological deficits, and reduced survival. Notably, LANDO deficiency impairs junctional protein redistribution in cerebral …

Sh2 Domain Protein E (She) And Abl Signaling Regulate Blood Vessel Size, Surendra Kumar Anand
Sh2 Domain Protein E (She) And Abl Signaling Regulate Blood Vessel Size, Surendra Kumar Anand
International Visiting Researcher Showcase
Src homology 2 domain containing E (She) protein was previously identified in a screen for proteins that interact with Abelson (Abl)-kinase. However, its biological role has remained unknown. Here we demonstrate that She and Abl signaling regulate vessel size in zebrafish embryos and human endothelial cell culture. Zebrafish she mutants displayed increased endothelial cell number, enlarged lumen size and defects in blood flow and vessel elasticity, eventually leading to vessel collapse. ScRNA-seq analysis identified a set of novel genes which are differentially expressed in she mutants. Vascular endothelial specific overexpression of she was sufficient to restrict the vessel size. Chemical …

High Ability, Hidden Gaps: Building Quantitative Reasoning Amongst Singapore’S Mathematically Literate, Rebecca M. Nichols
Numeracy
In Singapore, where primary and secondary students routinely top standardized worldwide mathematics examinations, a paradox emerges: when reaching university, many struggle to apply their skills critically in real-world contexts. This commentary examines the challenges and strategies involved in teaching quantitative reasoning (QR) to mathematically literate students in a top-ranking Singaporean university. While these students arrive well-trained in computation and procedural problem-solving, they often lack confidence and flexibility in ambiguous, data-driven decision-making. This article argues that fostering QR education is crucial not only for Singapore but for education globally, as QR skills underpin evidence-based reasoning within and across disciplines. Such an …

GNSI Decision Briefs
Military ethos is the “spirit of the unit, which is the sense of unity that leads warriors on the battlefield to believe that the lives of those around them are more important than their own.” In 2025 Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth promised a return to a “warrior ethos,” which he said the Department of Defense (DOD) has lost because of the recent politicized climate, including diversity, equity, and inclusion policies. This brief will utilize the Army's Special Forces as a viable model for achieving collective military spirit in one of the world's most diverse nations.
