- Description:
- We analyzed satisfaction with care, out-of-pocket costs, and specialist access among community-dwelling Medicare Current Beneficiary Survey respondents, 2015–2019, in the 50 states and Washington, DC. For each measure, we constructed a binary indicator indicating very satisfied (vs. very dissatisfied to satisfied)., We used logistic regression to model outcomes as a function of Medicare Advantage - MA (vs. Traditional Medicare - TM) enrollment, respondent-reported race/ethnicity, and interactions of MA with race/ethnicity. Race/ethnicity was categorized as non-Hispanic Black, Hispanic, and non-Hispanic White. We adjusted for age, sex, education, income, tobacco use, chronic conditions, functional limitations, disability, and geographic factors. Racial/ethnic disparities reflect effects of structural factors that systematically disadvantage members of minoritized racial/ethnic groups. Because structural racism contributes to disparities in socioeconomic status (including income and education), we verified that our estimates did not change appreciably when we did not adjust for socioeconomic factors. , and Analyses were weighted by a composite of survey weights and propensity score weights to balance MA and TM populations within racial/ethnic groups. Separate analyses were conducted for beneficiaries with vs. without dual eligibility for full Medicaid. We used SAS to process the data.

- Description:
- Studies of fate patterning during development typically emphasize cell-cell communication via diffusible chemical signals. Recent experiments on stem cell colonies (see Xue et al. Nature Materials 2018), however, suggest that in some cases mechanical stresses, rather than secreted chemicals, enable long-ranged cell-cell interactions that specify positional information and pattern cell fates. The authors of this earlier publication reported a set of in vitro experiments in which uniformly supplied chemical media induced spatially patterned fates in cell colony in a disc geometry. They provided significant evidence that inter-cellular mechanical interactions, as well as mechanical interactions between cells and the substrate, play an important role in this in vitro differentiation process. As part of these experiments, they showed that the concentric width of the outer fate domain is approximately constant as the colony diameter is increased from 300 um to 800 um. In this subsequent publication, we propose a mathematical model for this fate patterning process and explore how the fate pattern depends on substrate stiffness. The experimental images of cell colonies, both for varying cell colony diameter (from Xue et al. Nature Materials 2018) and for varying substrate stiffness (data generated for the publication linked to these data), are provided here. Each example has an image for PAX3 signal (marker for outer fate domain; Paired box gene 3) and an image for DAPI signal (staining nuclei; 4′,6-diamidino-2-phenylindole).

- Description:
- In a previous study (Xue et al. Nature Materials 2018), the authors showed that a key fate patterning event in vertebrate development can be reproduced in an in vitro stem cell culture. They further showed that this in vitro fate pattern seems to depend on mechanical signals rather than secreted chemical signals. In this follow-up study, a mathematical model of this process is proposed. The code in this deposit is for the simulation of this mathematical model in various cell layer geometries and substrate geometries. These geometries include a 1D cell layer, quasi-1D stripe geometry, disc geometry (all on a very thin substrate or a substrate composed of microposts) as well as a 1D cell layer on a finite-thickness substrate. Our model implies that the width of the outer fate domain varies non-monotonically with substrate stiffness, a prediction that we confirm experimentally.

- Description:
- In an earlier study (Xue et al. Nature Materials 2018), stem cells differentiated into one of two cell types, neural plate border (NPB) or neural plate (NP), in vitro. This previous study demonstrated that this differentiation is likely mechanics-guided. Part of this demonstration was measurements of the displacement of microposts under the cell layer as the cells differentiate. These measurements suggested that the NPB cells are more contractile than NP cells. In a follow-up study (linked to this dataset), we quantitatively analyzed these data to demonstrate even further that the NPB cells are mechanically different than the NP cells and that the post displacement profile is not explained by a model of a cell layer with uniform mechanical properties. This analysis motivated the mathematical model -- for this cell colony system -- that we proposed and analyzed.

In this subsequent publication, we propose a mathematical model for this fate patterning process and explore how the fate pattern depends on substrate stiffness. One ingredient of this mathematical model is that the cells at the very edge of the colony (lacking adherens junctions on one side) are geometrically different than the rest (by occupying a larger area on the micropattern). These images of DAPI (staining nuclei) and ECad (at adherens junctions) for colonies during early cell differentiation demonstrate this difference. Corresponding code for analysis is included.

- Description:
- an .xlsx spreadsheet with multiple sheets, and each sheet saved in csv format. Sheets are: nouns; flora; fauna; adjectives; numerals; verbs; and other (including adverbs and grammatical morphemes). , The fauna and flora entries are also copied verbatim in the nouns sheet. Species identifications are given where known. The adjectives sheet includes verbs related to the modifying adjectives, and these verbs are also included in the verbs sheet. Noun, adjective, and verb stems often have different tonal forms in different grammatical contexts, and representative forms are presented in different columns in each sheet. For the verbs (except statives), perfective (Pfv) and imperfective (Ipfv) stems are also presented. Many of the adverbs in the "other" sheet are also copied in the nouns sheet. Other columns have codes for lexical tone melody, shape (in CvCv form), and valency (for verbs). English and French translations are provided for each item; for some items additional comments are in another column. , and The .xlsx version is handy for sorting using various criteria (e.g. to get all /H/-melodic stems of CvCv shape). The lexical spreadsheets are designed to be used with the Tigemaxo grammar and the Tigemaxo transcribed/translated texts volume, both in Deep Blue Documents. Similar documents and spreadsheets have been deposited for other Bozo languages covered in this project (Cliffs Jenaama, Jenaama/Sorogaama of Djenné, and Kelenga).

- Description:
- In an earlier study (Xue et al. Nature Materials 2018), stem cells differentiated into one of two cell types, neural plate border (NPB) or neural plate (NP), in vitro with the NP forming a central circular domain. This previous study demonstrated that this differentiation is likely mechanics-guided. Part of this demonstration was measurements of the displacement of microposts under the cell layer as the cells differentiate. These measurements suggested that the NPB cells are more contractile than NP cells (see Dataset of cell layers on micro-patterned substrates compost of posts). The authors of the 2018 study and of a follow-up study further explored how the size of the NPB domain depends on experimental conditions (see Dataset of stem cell colonies differentiating in neural induction medium and code for analysis of resulting fate pattern). To further understand what factors could be driving NPB formation, we estimated cell area at the colony edge (see Dataset on cell areas and nuclear densities in differentiating stem cell colonies). This analysis inspired a mathematical model of mechanical patterning: fate affects cell contractility, and pressure in the cell layer biases fate. Cells at the colony edge, more contractile than cells at the center, seed a pattern that propagates via force transmission. We simulated the model in various cell geometries and for different substrates (see Code for simulating NP/NPB fate patterning in stem cell colonies). Strikingly, our model implies that the width of the outer fate domain varies non-monotonically with substrate stiffness, a prediction that we confirm experimentally. Our findings thus support the idea that mechanical stress can mediate patterning in the complete absence of chemical morphogens, even in non-motile cell layers, thus expanding the repertoire of possible roles for mechanical signals in development and morphogenesis.
