Applicability of a computer retinal model for scale-dependent investigation of legibility problems by Gábor Dömötör, András Horváth

“…Although the simulation is imperfect, the software can perform significantly more measurements than human experiments with higher uniformity and give reproducible legibility information about significantly more fonts in various circumstances.In addition to the two scaling methods used in the literature (x-height, font-height), the tests are also performed with two other self-developed scaling methods, which provide a fairer comparison in the case of non-standard character types.This paper contains the legibility measurement results for 22 fonts under various simulated scenarios. …”

Mitochondrial reactive oxygen species trigger metformin-dependent antitumor immunity via activation of Nrf2/mTORC1/p62 axis in tumor-infiltrating CD8T lymphocytes by Kazuhiro Kakimi, Hirokazu Matsushita, Masaaki Komatsu, Eiryo Kawakami, Mikako Nishida, Nahoko Yamashita, Taisaku Ogawa, Keita Koseki, Eiji Warabi, Tomoyuki Ohue, Katsuyuki Shiroguchi, Heiichiro Udono

“…RNA sequencing was performed for CD8TILs and tumor cells. Melanoma cells containing an IFN-γ receptor (IFNγR) cytoplasmic domain deletion mutant was overexpressed and used for characterization of the metabolic profile of those tumor cells using a Seahorse Flux Analyzer.Results Met administration elevates mtROS and cell surface Glut-1, resulting in the production of IFN-γ in CD8TILs. mtROS activates Nrf2 in a glycolysis-dependent manner, inducing activation of autophagy, glutaminolysis, mTORC1, and p62/SQSTM1. mTORC1-dependent phosphorylation of p62 at serine 351 (p-p62(S351)) is also involved in activation of Nrf2. …”
