Protein Folding Quality Check in the RER

Protein Folding Quality Check in the RER

ER is the primary site for the maturation and folding of soluble and transmembrane secretory proteins. The calnexin cycle is a specific chaperone system that folds and assesses the confirmation of N-glycosylated proteins before they can exit the ER lumen. The primary players of this quality check pipeline are the lectins, ER-resident chaperones, and a glucosyl transferase enzyme. In case the calnexin system in the lumen fails to salvage a misfolded protein, it is transported to the cytoplasm...

Fixed Action Patterns

Fixed Action Patterns

A fixed action pattern (FAP) is a specific, hard-wired sequence of behaviors that occurs in response to an external stimulus, called a sign stimulus. The behavior is “fixed” because it is essentially unchangeable—proceeding similarly across individuals of a species every time it occurs.

Confirmation Biases

Confirmation Biases

The confirmation bias is the tendency to focus on information that confirms our existing beliefs and ignore information that is inconsistent with our expectations. For example, if you think that your professor is not very nice, you notice all of the instances of rude behavior exhibited by the professor while ignoring the countless pleasant interactions he is involved in on a daily basis. Have you ever fallen prey to the confirmation bias, either as the source or target of such bias?

Population Growth

Population Growth

Population size is dynamic, increasing with birth rates and immigration, and decreasing with death rates and emigration. In ideal conditions with unlimited resources, populations can increase exponentially, which plots as a J-shaped growth rate curve of population size against time. This type of curve is characteristic of newly-introduced invasive species, or populations that have suffered catastrophic declines and are rebounding.

Competition

Competition

When organisms require the same limited resources within an environment, they may have to compete for them. Competition is a net-negative interaction. Even if two competing individuals or populations do not interact directly, the overall fitness of both competitors is lowered as a result of not having full access to the limited resource.

Area of Science:

Media Studies
Political Communication
Journalism Ethics

Background:

Declining trust in journalism due to bias accusations.
Traditional journalistic silence on accusations creates an unbalanced discourse.
Need to explore proactive strategies for rebuilding credibility.

Purpose of the Study:

To test the impact of journalists defending their profession.
To evaluate the effects of increased fact-checking by news outlets.
To determine if these strategies enhance media trust and political efficacy.

Main Methods:

A five-day online field experiment.
Manipulation of content: inclusion of fact-check stories and opinion pieces defending journalism.
Measurement of media trust, epistemic political efficacy, and future news use intent.

Main Results:

Fact-checking positively impacted media trust, political efficacy, and news use intent.
These benefits were observed only when accompanied by content defending journalism.
No significant partisan differences in the effects were found across Republicans, Democrats, and Independents.

Conclusions:

Journalists speaking up in defense of their profession is crucial for effective fact-checking.
Combined strategies can rebuild trust and improve democratic engagement with news.
Findings have implications for journalistic practices and news effects research.
