This feels like one of those posts where if I had more time I could make it shorter… but I don’t. Fun seems self-evident, but I would just gently remind readers that fun is non-trivial; is in fact the active face of joy, as beauty is the passive. As above, play without consent, treating others as toys without independent will rather than as fellow players, is oppression and abuse. In fact, one of the great, almost pre-verbal lessons of play is precisely that the magic circle of play exists only with, is in large part comprised of, the willing participation of everyone in and around it. That curation isn’t only about having collections available for loan or in the library space; it’s also about making actual play experiences available.

The transcript level of unc-31 was increased in mir-71(lf) worms, compared with that of wild-type controls that were normalized to the value of 1. MiR-71 represses the expression of age-1 and unc-31 through the actions on their 3′UTR, but miR-71 is not required for arresting M cell division during L1 diapause. We found that the poor survival rate of daf-16(mu86)(lf) was further decreased by mir-71(lf) (Fig. 2C), consistent with the notion that a portion of miR-71 activities regulate genes that act in parallel to UNC-31–mediated InsR/PI3K signaling for long-term survival during L1 diapause. (B) The severely reduced survival rate of the mir-71(lf) mutant was suppressed by a null allele of unc-31(e928).
Briefly, worms were well fed for at least two generations, and gravid adults were bleached with hypochlorite and sodium hydroxide. L1 starvation assay was adapted from a previously described protocol (3). Worms strains were grown and maintained at 20 °C as described (29). This result is consistent with the observation that miR-71 is specifically required for the starvation-induced stress response (Fig. S5). For example, we observed a robust retarded mutant phenotype in the vulval lineage but did not see obvious defects in seam cell differentiation or alae formation. Our data provide the experimental evidence that two components of the InsR pathway are likely direct targets of miR-71 in its role in a specific physiological process, L1 diapause (see a model in Fig. S5).
They give people a way to stay engaged with their own care and allow families and clinicians to feel more confident in supporting them. They help people transition from more intensive care into everyday life, while still receiving regular encouragement. From peer-led insight to structured group therapy, support groups can be a steady and valuable part of every stage in the recovery journey.

• Reduction-of-function mutation (rf) in the age-1/PI3 kinase gene, age-1(hx546), made worms long-lived in the L1 starvation assay and was able to suppress the reduced L1 survival rate of mir-71(lf); the rate of the double mutants was comparable to that of wild type (Fig. 2A).

Mutating miR-71 drastically reduces the survival rate of animals in L1 diapause, and the effect can be suppressed by mutations of insulin receptor pathway genes age-1 and unc-31. The effect observed in ain-1(lf) mutants is likely the consequence of the combined effects of attenuating functions of these individual miRNAs. To identify individual miRNAs that play prominent roles in L1 diapause, we screened 72 available mutant strains of individual miRNAs and miRNA families (87 miRNAs in total) using the L1 starvation assay.

What Role Do Support Groups Play in Mental Health Crisis Recovery?

When we play the tape forward, we see the life we left. I’ve come to realize, there is a strong sense of culture that paints that picture as an expected way of life. So…when we play the tape forward of what that life was like, it’s meant to stop us in our tracks and remember. Despite our time away from alcohol, there are moments or even extended periods of time when we feel like a life with alcohol isn’t so bad, that we can moderate. LifeRing Secular Recovery is ​an organization of people ​who share practical ​experiences and sobriety ​support. For examining the age-1 3′UTR reporter, the rol-6(d) marker (100 ng/μl pRF4) was used instead of the unc-119(+) plasmid.

• Furthermore, the observed derepression of individual genes by mir-71(lf) seemed too weak to account for the phenotype, consistent with the idea that a prominent phenotype of an miRNA mutation is caused by the collective effect of changing expression in many genes, an important property of miRNA-mediated gene regulation.

By working toward these goals in a group setting, clients are able to track progress while receiving therapeutic input from trained clinicians. These sessions are not peer-led support groups, but professionally facilitated therapeutic spaces grounded in trauma-informed care. Our approach is not about peer discussion, but about structured healing guided by professionals involved in the recovery process.

(B) Bar graph showing the correlation between the severity of the retarded vulval precursor cell (VPC) timing defect of mir-71(lf) mutants and the duration of L1 starvation. Whereas the vulva of wild-type worms developed into the pyramidal stage (81 of 82 worms), the P6.p of mir-71(n4115, lf) mutant worms divided only once (83 of 89 worms). The computation-based prediction that age-1 and pdk-1 are potential targets of miR-71 was also reported in a recent study focusing on miRNA functions in aging where the mRNA level of pdk-1 was shown to be up-regulated in mir-71 worms (14). We found that the 3′UTRs of several genes of the InsR pathway, including unc-31, age-1, pdk-1, akt-2, and sgk-1, contain predicted miR-71 targeting sites (as predicted by TargetScan and mirWIP). (C) Fluorescence and differential interference contrast (DIC) images showing that the age-1 3′UTR reporter was repressed in mir-71(+) worms (3/4 transgenic lines) but not in mir-71(lf) worms (4/4 transgenic lines).

Upon entering L1 diapause, RNA polymerase II quickly accumulates and pauses at promoter regions, and this accumulation was speculated to stop transcription and facilitate the immediate reinitiation of gene expression when food becomes available (2). Previous studies showed that the release of postdocking calcium-regulated dense-core vesicles, the insulin receptor (InsR) pathway, the AMPK pathway, and protein chaperones are required for the long-term survival of starved L1 worms (2–4). However, when newly hatched L1 worms encounter an environment with no food, developmental programs arrest and the worm enters L1 diapause. The presented results indicate that interactions between multiple miRNAs and likely a large number of their mRNA targets in multiple pathways regulate the response to starvation-induced L1 diapause. And we need to take seriously that, just as people’s literary diet matters, so does their ludic diet. In fact I still have a ton to say, about play anxiety and devaluation of play, which I’ll have to put into separate posts over the next few days.

Reduction-of-function mutation (rf) in the age-1/PI3 kinase gene, age-1(hx546), made worms long-lived in the L1 starvation assay and was able to suppress the reduced L1 survival rate of mir-71(lf); the rate of the double mutants was comparable to that of wild type (Fig. 2A). In worms that recovered from 4 d of L1 starvation, we also found that a significant portion of the mir-71(lf) mutants displayed egg-laying defects and overproliferating or precociously reflexed gonads. (A) The mir-71(n4115, lf) mutant displayed severe reduction in L1 starvation survival rate, and the reduced survival rate of mir-71(lf) was suppressed by a reduction-of-function allele of age-1(hx546). To investigate the roles of miRNAs in animal survival during starvation-induced L1 diapause, we impaired the overall miRISC function with loss-of-function (lf) mutants of ain-1 (ku322, ku425, and tm3681) and ain-2(tm2432) and examined their L1 starvation survival rate (Materials and Methods). To test the hypothesis that these developmental timing genes mediate the regulatory role of miR-71 in larval development during recovery from starvation-induced L1 diapause, we examined whether knocking down HBL-1 function can suppress the retarded VPC timing defect of mir-71(lf). Note that the daf-16(lf) worms recovering from 3 d of L1 starvation displayed a ∼12-h delay in overall development and that the mir-71(lf); daf-16(lf) double mutants displayed an ∼24-h delay.
