Remodeling the epigenome and (epi)cytoskeleton: a new paradigm for co-regulation by methylation

Description: This article is a commentary on coordinated use of methyl marks to remodel both the epigenome and the (epi)cytoskeleton, which opens the possibility for integrated regulation (referred to as ‘epiregulation’) of other higher-level functions, such as muscle contraction or learning and memory, and could even have evolutionary implications.

Prolate and oblate chiral liquid crystal spheroids

Description: Article examining the palette of morphologies that arises when microdroplets are deformed into nonspherical shapes in a controllable manner. Specifically, geometrical confinement and mechanical strain are used to manipulate orientational order, phase transitions, and topological defects that arise in chiral liquid crystal droplets. The reported structures and assemblies offer potential for applications in smart coatings, smart fabrics, and wearable sensors.

COVID-19 and the gender gap in work hours

Description: Article using panel data from the US Current Population Survey to examine changes in mothers’ and fathers’ work hours from February through April 2020, the period of time prior to the widespread COVID-19 outbreak in the United States and through its first peak. Using person-level fixed effects models, we find that mothers with young children have reduced their work hours four to five times more than fathers.

Mortality salience, effort, and cardiovascular response to a bar-press challenge: Remarkably nuanced effects of a death prime on heart performance

Description: Article is a study that presented participants with a bar-pressing challenge relevant to their identity after having exposed them to a prime that made their mortality more or less salient. This study adds substantively to a new line of support for terror management theory and documents the predictive utility of a proposed blended analysis of associated effort processes.
