Integrative systems‐level analysis reveals a contextual crosstalk between hypoxia and global metabolism in human breast tumors

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Breast tumor samples scored for metabolic deregulation (M1 to M3) were given a hypoxia score (HS). The highest HS occurred in patients with strongest metabolic deregulation (M3), supporting tumor aggressiveness. HS correlated with the highest number of metabolic pathways in M1. This suggests hypoxia to be an early event in metabolic deregulation.

Free volumes in mixed-tacticity poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) determined by viscosimetry and their correlations with structural features and mechanical properties

open access: yesApplied Rheology, 2022
The viscosities of poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) (PHB) with mixed tacticities were determined as functions of temperature and shearing rate via plate–plate viscosimetry, and fitted by a combined Herschel–Bulkley–Cross–Doolittle model while applying Carvalho et

How Value-Sensitive Design Can Empower Sustainable Consumption [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2020
In a so-called overpopulated world, sustainable consumption is of existential importance.However, the expanding spectrum of product choices and their production complexity challenge consumers to make informed and value-sensitive decisions. Recent approaches based on (personalized) psychological manipulation are often intransparent, potentially privacy ...

The accumulation of myeloid‐derived suppressor cells participates in abdominal infection‐induced tumor progression through the PD‐L1/PD‐1 axis

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, EarlyView.
This study explores how sepsis affects GC progression by creating an immunosuppressive environment. Our findings reveal that sepsis promotes immune dysregulation, enhancing tumor growth and metastasis. Targeting the PD‐1/PD‐L1 pathway with monoclonal antibodies shows potential for restoring immune function and improving outcomes in cancer patients ...

An improved model and field calibration technique for measuring liquid water content in unfrozen and frozen soils with dielectric probes

open access: yesVadose Zone Journal, 2022
Dielectric soil moisture probes can be used to obtain frequently logged field observations of volumetric water content, but because this is an indirect method, it is challenging to ensure that you have a suitable calibration relationship and parameters ...

Assessing the Sustainability and Trustworthiness of Federated Learning Models [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2023
Artificial intelligence is widely used in various sectors and significantly impacts decision-making processes. Novel AI paradigms, such as Federated Learning (FL), focus on training AI models collaboratively while preserving data privacy. In such a context, the European Commission's AI-HLEG group has highlighted the importance of sustainable AI for ...
