BUFFALO, NY- February 13, 2024 – A new #research paper was #published in Aging (listed by MEDLINE/PubMed as "Aging (Albany NY)" and "Aging-US" by Web of Science) Volume 16, Issue 2, entitled, “IL-17 promotes IL-18 production via the MEK/ERK/miR-4492 axis in osteoarthritis synovial fibroblasts.” The concept of osteoarthritis (OA) as a low-grade inflammatory joint disorder has been widely accepted. Many inflammatory mediators are implicated in the pathogenesis of OA. Interleukin (IL)-18 is a pleiotropic cytokine with versatile cellular functions that are pathogenetically important in immune responses, as well as autoimmune, inflammatory, and infectious diseases. IL-17, a proinflammatory cytokine mainly secreted by Th17 cells, is upregulated in OA patients. However, the role of IL-17 in OA progression is unclear. In this new study, researchers Kun-Tsan Lee, Chih-Yang Lin, Shan-Chi Liu, Xiu-Yuan He, Chun-Hao Tsai, Chih-Yuan Ko, Yuan-Hsin Tsai, Chia-Chia Chao, Po-Chun Chen, and Chih-Hsin Tang from National Chung-Hsing University, Taichung Veterans General Hospital, Shin-Kong Wu Ho-Su Memorial Hospital, Mackay Medical College, China Medical University, Show-Chwan Memorial Hospital, Fu-Jen Catholic University, National Taiwan Normal University, Asia University, and China Medical University Hsinchu Hospital used synovial tissues collected from healthy donors and OA patients to detect the expression level of IL-18 by immunohistochemistry stain. “Elucidation of the molecular mechanisms and main factors involved in OA pathogenesis may help with the development of novel therapeutic targets that relieve OA pain or prevent the disease from progressing.” The OA synovial fibroblasts (OASFs) were incubated with recombinant IL-17 and subjected to Western blot, qPCR, and ELISA to examine IL-18 expression level. The chemical inhibitors and siRNAs which targeted signal pathways were used to investigate signal pathways involved in IL-17-induced IL-18 expression. The microRNAs which participated IL-18 expression were surveyed with online databases miRWalk and miRDB, followed by validation with qPCR. This study revealed significantly higher levels of IL-18 expression in synovial tissue from OA patients compared with healthy controls, as well as increased IL-18 expression in OASFs from rats with severe OA. In vitro findings indicated that IL-17 dose-dependently promoted IL-18 production in OASFs. Molecular investigations revealed that the MEK/ERK/miR-4492 axis stimulated IL-18 production when OASFs were treated with IL-17. “This study provides novel insights into the role of IL-17 in the pathogenesis of OA, which may help to inform OA treatment in the future.” DOI - https://doi.org/10.18632/aging.205462 Corresponding authors - Po-Chun Chen - pcchen@ntnu.edu.tw, and Chih-Hsin Tang - chtang@mail.cmu.edu.tw Subscribe for free publication alerts from Aging - https://www.aging-us.com/subscribe-to-toc-alerts About Aging-US Launched in 2009, Aging-US publishes papers of general interest and biological significance in all fields of aging research and age-related diseases, including cancer—and now, with a special focus on COVID-19 vulnerability as an age-dependent syndrome.

This week's edition is a special ICRT-TVBS World Taiwan election roundtable event recorded at the National Taiwan Normal University in Taipei. Host Gavin Phipps is joined by National Chengchi University Assistant Professor Lev Nachman; Bloomberg Taipei Bureau Chief Samson Ellis; independent journalist, writer, and host Fan Chi-fei (范琪斐) and Oakland University Associate Professor Su Chiao-ning (蘇巧寧). The panelist discuss issues including the latest polls and what polling means in Taiwan, how to the candidates are seeking to attract young voters, the China policies of the presidential candidates, the legislative elections and possible presidential election outcomes.

Tai-Ex opening The Tai-Ex opened down 19-points this morning from yesterday's close, at 17,401 on turnover of 2.4-billion N-T. The market closed slightly lower on Monday as the bellwether electronics sector lost ground on the back of growing concerns the U-S will tighten controls on chip sales to China. Despite the slump in investor interest in the bellwether electronics sector, the transportation sector, in particular bulk cargo shippers, trended higher, due to increasing freight rates, which lent some support to the broader market. ---- AIT Head Stresses Need to Combat Election Disinformation American Institute in Taiwan Director Sandra Oudkirk is stressing that Washington and Taipei are "on the frontlines" as they seek to tackle the spread of disinformation. Speaking at the National Taiwan University, where she delivered her End-of-Year policy address, Oudkirk said both sides are working closely to combat online information manipulation, as such threats are especially worrisome in the context of democratic elections. Oudkirk also said Washington and Taipei and other democratic partners recently participated in the Global Declaration on International Information Integrity Online and that declaration has now been joined by more than 30 countries. The declaration was launched by Canada and Netherlands in September. ---- Academia Sinica scholar Awarded Germany's Humboldt Research Award A distinguished research fellow at Academia Sinica has been awarded the 2023 Humboldt Research Award by the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation in Germany. Wang Fan-sen, of the Institute of History and Philology, received the award in recognition of his achievements and impact on historical scholarship. Along with being a research fellow at Academia Sinica, Wang also currently serves as chair professor at the National Cheng Kung University, National Chengchi University, the National Taiwan Normal University and the National Sun Yat-sen University. The Humboldt prize is for internationally renowned scientists and scholars who work outside of Germany in recognition of their lifetime's research achievements. ---- Putin Plans to Visit the UAE and Saudi Arabia Russian media outlets are reporting that President Vladimir Putin plans to visit the United Arab Emirates and Saudi Arabia this week. Russian state news agencies say that Putin will travel to the two countries for a working visit, during which he will meet the Saudi crown prince, Mohammed bin Salman. The U-A-E is currently hosting the United Nations Climate Change Conference. However, it's unclear whether Putin will attend the conference. Putin currently risks arrest if he leaves Russia after the International Criminal Court issued an arrest warrant for him in March for war crimes, accusing him of personal responsibility for the abductions of children from Ukraine. ---- UN Concerned about Rohingya Muslims aboard Two Boats The United Nations refugee agency is raising the alarm for an estimated 400 Rohingya Muslims believed to be aboard two boats reported to be out of supplies and adrift in the Andaman Sea. The agency is worried that all those aboard could die without efforts to rescue them. The captain of one of the boats says he had 180 to 190 people on board and that the engine was damaged. There is a seasonal exodus of Rohingyas, usually coming from overcrowded refugee camps in Bangladesh. About 740,000 Rohingya Muslims have fled Myanmar to Bangladesh since 2017 after a brutal counterinsurgency campaign. ---- CBC to Cut 600 Jobs And Canada's public broadcaster says it will cut 600 jobs and reduce its English and French programming budgets. The move comes as the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation is struggling with monetary pressures. The bulk of the layoffs will come from corporate divisions such as technology and infrastructure. The broadcaster says it has also identified 200 vacancies that will go unfilled as it contends with 125-million Canadian dollars in budget pressures. Along with the job cuts, C-B-C will be reducing its English and French programming budgets, resulting in fewer renewals and acquisitions, fewer new television series and less episodes of existing shows.

歡迎留言告訴我們你對這一集的想法： https://open.firstory.me/user/cl81kivnk00dn01wffhwxdg2s/comments 每日英語跟讀 Ep.K598: Pursue Your Dreams with Determination, Tech CEOs Inspire Graduates During in-person graduation ceremonies held by several major universities in Taiwan for the first time since the COVID-19 pandemic, Jensen Huang, the co-founder and CEO of Nvidia, urged National Taiwan University (NTU) graduates to actively chase their dreams. In his speech, he emphasized the importance of running, not walking, towards their goals. Huang compared pursuing dreams to running for food or running to avoid becoming prey, highlighting the urgency and dedication required to succeed. 自從COVID-19大流行以來，幾所台灣重要的大學首次舉行了現場的畢業典禮，Nvidia的共同創辦人兼首席執行官黃仁勳在其中一場典禮上鼓勵國立台灣大學的畢業生積極追尋夢想。他在演講中強調了為實現目標奔跑而不是行走的重要性。黃先生將追求夢想比喻為奔跑覓食或逃避成為獵物，突顯了成功所需的迫切性和奉獻精神。 Other notable tech executives also addressed graduating students at various Taiwanese universities. National Chengchi University held two ceremonies, featuring Patrick Pan, an alumnus and the head of Taiwan and Hong Kong operations at Meta (owner of Facebook), and Tung Tzu-hsien, the chairman of Pegatron. At National Taiwan University of Science and Technology (NTUST), the CEO of TUL Corp, Ted Chen, who is also an alumnus, delivered the commencement speech. Chen encouraged graduates to maintain an optimistic mindset and approach challenges with calmness. 其他知名的科技公司高層也在台灣各大學的畢業典禮上向畢業生發表了演講。國立政治大學舉行了兩場典禮，分別邀請了校友：Facebook母公司Meta在台灣和香港業務的負責人潘先國，以及和碩聯合科技董事長童子賢。國立臺灣科技大學則請到該校校友的撼訊科技總經理陳劍威發表畢業典禮演講。陳先生鼓勵畢業生保持樂觀的心態，冷靜的面對挑戰。 While many universities invited speakers from the tech industry, National Taiwan Normal University chose Academia Sinica's Lee Fong-mao, a Taoist, to deliver the commencement speech. Lee encouraged the graduating students, totaling 4,469, to fearlessly pursue unconventional or unpopular subjects and themes if they plan to pursue careers in academics. He emphasized that through dedication and passion, individuals can shape their lives in unique ways. 儘管許多大學邀請了科技業的嘉賓演講，國立台灣師範大學則選擇了中央研究院的道教研究院士李豐楙作為畢業演講嘉賓。李先生鼓勵這4469名畢業生在追求學術事業時勇敢地追求非傳統或不受歡迎的主題和題材。他強調，通過奉獻和熱情，個人可以以獨特的方式塑造自己的生活。 At National Chi Nan University, Hsieh Hsiang-tang, a student of Rukai descent, incorporated a quote from Rukai writer Avuinni Kadreseng in her graduation speech. Hsieh expressed that enduring discomfort often leads to the discovery of valuable principles. She encouraged her fellow graduates to embrace challenges and strive for success, while respecting traditional wisdom and utilizing modern technology to strengthen their connection with the land. 在國立暨南國際大學，畢業生謝享唐引用了魯凱族作家Avuinni Kadreseng的一句話作為她的畢業演講。謝同學表示，忍受不適往往導致發現有價值的原則。她鼓勵同學們接受挑戰，努力追求成功，同時尊重傳統智慧，利用現代科技來加強他們與土地的聯繫。 Reference article: https://www.taipeitimes.com/News/taiwan/archives/2023/05/28/2003800556 Powered by Firstory Hosting

One China, Many Taiwans: The Geopolitics of Cross-Strait Tourism (Cornell UP, 2023) shows how tourism performs and transforms territory. In 2008, as the People's Republic of China pointed over a thousand missiles across the Taiwan Strait, it sent millions of tourists in the same direction with the encouragement of Taiwan's politicians and businesspeople. Contrary to the PRC's efforts to use tourism to incorporate Taiwan into an imaginary “One China,” tourism aggravated tensions between the two polities, polarized Taiwanese society, and pushed Taiwanese popular sentiment farther toward support for national self-determination. Consequently, Taiwan was performed as a part of China for Chinese group tourists versus experienced as a place of everyday life. Taiwan's national identity grew increasingly plural, such that not just one or two, but many Taiwans coexisted, even as it faced an existential military threat. Ian Rowen's treatment of tourism as a political technology provides a new theoretical lens for social scientists to examine the impacts of tourism in the region and worldwide. Ian Rowen is Associate Professor at National Taiwan Normal University. He is the editor of Transitions in Taiwan. Follow him on Twitter @iirowen. Li-Ping Chen is Postdoctoral Scholar and Teaching Fellow in the East Asian Studies Center at the University of Southern California. Her research interests include literary translingualism, diaspora, and nativism in Sinophone, inter-Asian, and transpacific contexts. Learn more about your ad choices.

In 2008, as the People's Republic of China pointed over a thousand missiles across the Taiwan Strait, it sent millions of tourists in the same direction with the encouragement of Taiwan's politicians and businesspeople. Contrary to the PRC's efforts to use tourism to incorporate Taiwan into an imaginary “One China,” tourism aggravated tensions between the two polities, polarized Taiwanese society, and pushed Taiwanese popular sentiment farther toward support for national self-determination. Consequently, Taiwan was performed as a part of China for Chinese group tourists versus experienced as a place of everyday life. Taiwan's national identity grew increasingly plural, such that not just one or two, but many Taiwans coexisted, even as it faced an existential military threat. Ian Rowen's treatment of tourism as a political technology provides a new theoretical lens for social scientists to examine the impacts of tourism in the region and worldwide.

Many mokuhanga printmakers today touch on different mediums when they create their work. It could be sculpture, bookbinding, or installation. There is no limit as to what can be accomplished with mokuhanga.  On this episode of The Unfinished Print I speak with mokuhanga printmaker and artist Katie Baldwin. Based in Alabama where she is an Assistant Professor at the University of Alabama, Huntsville. Katie has travelled the world, from Poland to Taiwan. She is involved in several collaborative groups, such as ShiftLab, wood+paper+box, and The Mokuhanga Sisters.  Katie speaks on her early days of making mokuhanga, her time at Nagasawa Art Park, the influence of her artist father, studio space and what it does to her work.

Dr. Ya-Jen Chiu from the Department of Life Science at National Taiwan Normal University in Taipei, discusses a research paper she co-authored that was published by Aging (Aging-US) in Volume 14, Issue 18, entitled, “Novel TRKB agonists activate TRKB and downstream ERK and AKT signaling to protect Aβ-GFP SH-SY5Y cells against Aβ toxicity.” DOI - https://doi.org/10.18632/aging.204306 Corresponding authors - Chiung-Mei Chen - cmchen@cgmh.org.tw, Ying-Chieh Sun - sun@ntnu.edu.tw, Guey-Jen Lee-Chen - t43019@ntnu.edu.tw Video - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1rT96K9VeZw Transcript - https://aging-us.net/2022/11/01/behind-the-study-novel-trkb-agonists-activate-trkb-and-downstream-erk-and-akt-signaling/ Abstract Decreased BDNF and impaired TRKB signaling contribute to neurodegeneration in Alzheimer's disease (AD). We have shown previously that coumarin derivative LM-031 enhanced CREB/BDNF/BCL2 pathway. In this study we explored if LM-031 analogs LMDS-1 to -4 may act as TRKB agonists to protect SH-SY5Y cells against Aβ toxicity. By docking computation for binding with TRKB using 7,8-DHF as a control, all four LMDS compounds displayed potential of binding to domain d5 of TRKB. In addition, all four LMDS compounds exhibited anti-aggregation and neuroprotective efficacy on SH-SY5Y cells with induced Aβ-GFP expression. Knock-down of TRKB significantly attenuated TRKB downstream signaling and the neurite outgrowth-promoting effects of these LMDS compounds. Among them, LMDS-1 and -2 were further examined for TRKB signaling. Treatment of ERK inhibitor U0126 or PI3K inhibitor wortmannin decreased p-CREB, BDNF and BCL2 in Aβ-GFP cells, implicating the neuroprotective effects are via activating TRKB downstream ERK, PI3K-AKT and CREB signaling. LMDS-1 and -2 are blood-brain barrier permeable as shown by parallel artificial membrane permeability assay. Our results demonstrate how LMDS-1 and -2 are likely to work as TRKB agonists to exert neuroprotection in Aβ cells, which may shed light on the potential application in therapeutics of AD.

Dr. Jonathan Pugh is Reader in Island Studies, Department of Geography, Newcastle University, UK. He has more than 70 publications and is particularly noted for his work on the ‘relational' and ‘archipelagic' turns in island studies, disrupting the figure of the insular island. He has held a number of visiting fellowships, given international keynote addresses, and/or invited lectures, including at Princeton, Harvard, Virginia Tech, London, Cornell, Vienna, Zurich, Trinity College Dublin, Rutgers, California, University of West Indies and National Taiwan Normal University.Jonathan's present work examines how work with islands is playing an increasingly prominent role in the generation of wider approaches to critical thinking, knowledge and policy practices associated with the Anthropocene (particularly in the prolific development of relational ontologies and epistemologies in opposition to modern reasoning). Establishing a platform for discussion and debate, in 2021 he launched the 'Anthropocene Islands' initiative (https://www.anthropoceneislands.online/). This includes a monthly reading group, dedicated section of Island Studies Journal, early career study spaces, workshops, agenda-setting publications and talks. The initiative gains its initial impetus from the book Anthropocene Islands: Entangled Worlds (Pugh and Chandler, 2021) free to download here https://www.uwestminsterpress.co.uk/site/books/m/10.16997/book52/ and the Dialogues in Human Geography paper Anthropocene Islands: there are only islands after the end of the world (Chandler and Pugh, 2021).Publications: https://newcastle.academia.edu/JonathanPughTwitter: @jonnypugh1974Facebook and Instagram: Jon Pugh Islands Subscribe to our newsletter today 〰️ Subscribe to our newsletter today 〰️ Subscribe to our newsletter today 〰️ Subscribe

All over the world this summer young people are sitting exams which will have a big impact on their future. In some places, a single exam might determine whether and where candidates go on to university, their future earning potential, and even their marriage prospects. Given the stakes, it is easy to see why so many cultures place great importance on exam success. However, is this one-size-fits-all approach to assessment really a good judge of ability and understanding? Or do exam results only tell us about a candidate's ability to memorise material and perform under stressful exam conditions? Caroline Bayley meets the educators and experts defending traditional exams and those coming up with alternative models of assessment. Tony Wagner from the Harvard Innovation Lab in the US thinks traditional exams will become obsolete in the future as work places change their hiring criteria. Mike Thomas, Vice Chancellor of the University of Central Lancashire in the UK explains why exams can have a negative impact on mental health. Dr Chun-yen Chang from National Taiwan Normal University has conducted research into whether there might be a gene that determines how well we think under exam conditions.
