Mapping Causal Biology: Mendelian Randomization in the Era of Big Data

Med Research, EarlyView.
Mendelian randomization (MR) leverages genetic variants to mitigate confounding biases in causal inference. This review systematically maps MR's methodological evolution, highlights its expanding applications in epidemiology and drug target validation, and outlines future directions for overcoming current biases through dynamic, multi‐omics, and cross ...

The toxin–antitoxin complex Fic‐1–AntF functions as a deAMPylase that regulates the activity of DNA gyrase

mLife, EarlyView.
Abstract Toxin–antitoxin (TA) systems found in diverse bacteria play important roles in their adaptation to changing environments. The toxin of the Fic‐1–AntF TA pair from Pseudomonas bijieensis strain 2P24 inhibits bacterial DNA replication by attacking the subunit B of DNA gyrase (GyrB) via AMPylation, while the antitoxin AntF blocks its enzymatic ...

T(w)o Patch or Not T(w)o Patch: A Novel Biocontrol Model

Mathematical Methods in the Applied Sciences, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT A number of top‐down biocontrol models have been proposed where the introduced predators' efficacy is enhanced via the provision of additional food (AF). However, if the predator has a pest‐dependent monotone functional response, pest extinction is unattainable. In the current manuscript, we propose a model where a predator with pest‐dependent

A Geometrically Regularized Gradient‐Damage Model With Orthogonality‐Based Energy Split for Dynamic Anisotropic Compression‐Shear Fracture

International Journal for Numerical and Analytical Methods in Geomechanics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study proposes a novel geometrically regularized gradient‐damage model for simulating dynamic mixed‐mode fracture in orthotropic materials with tension–compression asymmetry. In this model, a thermodynamic framework is formulated by incorporating damage dissipation into internal energy evolution, from which the constitutive relation and ...

Interplanetary frontiers: terraforming from an invasion science perspective

Oikos, EarlyView.
The pursuit of a multi‐planetary existence represents one of humanity's greatest frontiers. If applied justly, it offers an opportunity to extend its civilization's lifespan amid escalating sustainability crises on Earth. One approach increasingly gaining traction is terraforming, a hitherto theoretical ecological and evolutionary experiment revolving ...
