We call a module M , quasi-catenary if for each pair of quasi-prime submodules K and L of M with K L all saturated chains of quasi-prime submodules of M from K to L have a common finite length. We show that any homomorphic image of a quasi-catenary module is quasi-catenary. We prove that if M   is a module with following properties: (i) Every quasi-prime submodule of M has finite quasi-height;...

‎We say that a module $M$ is a emph{cms-module} if‎, ‎for every cofinite submodule $N$ of $M$‎, ‎there exist submodules $K$ and $K^{'}$ of $M$ such that $K$ is a supplement of $N$‎, ‎and $K$‎, ‎$K^{'}$ are mutual supplements in $M$‎. ‎In this article‎, ‎the various properties of cms-modules are given as a generalization of $oplus$-cofinitely supplemented modules‎. ‎In particular‎, ‎we prove tha...

In this issue of JEM, Marciniak et al. (https ://doi .org /10 .1084 /jem .20161731) identify a putative novel function of tau protein as a regulator of insulin signaling in the brain. They find that tau deletion impairs hippocampal response to insulin through IRS-1 and PTEN dysregulation and suggest that, in Alzheimer’s disease, impairment of brain insulin signaling might occur via tau loss of ...
