RNAPII and DNA supercoiling regulate cohesin engagement in neurons
Chromatin looping by CTCF and cohesin is thought to be crucial for chromosome organization and gene transcription. Yet the precise relationships between CTCF, cohesin, and transcription in neurons are still poorly understood. To address this issue, we compared the occupancy of CTCF and the cohesin subunits, SMC1 and RAD21, relative to transcriptionally engaged RNAPII and as a function of stimulus-dependent transcription in cultured mouse cortical neurons.

Predictors of long-term intraocular pressure control after lens extraction in primary angle closure glaucoma: results from the EAGLE trial
Discussion In the EAGLE trial, patients undergoing initial CLE were almost 5 times more likely to have better long-term IOP control and 10 times more likely to be free of drops or surgery as compared with those undergoing LPI as initial management of PAC with high IOP or PACG with IOP 21 mm Hg or greater (table 4).
Relationship Between Claims-Based Frailty Index and Eye Care Utilization among Medicare Beneficiaries with Glaucoma
Purpose To determine differences in eye care utilization by frailty levels among Medicare beneficiaries with glaucoma Design Retrospective cohort study Subjects Medicare fee-for-service beneficiaries over 65 years with glaucoma, identified using International Classification of Diseases codes before 7/1/2014 Methods Using a validated claims-based frailty index (range: 0-1), beneficiaries were classified as non-/prefrail (0-0.19), mildly frail (0.20-0.29), and moderate-to-severely frail (≥0.30).
