Reducing data processing effort in camera trap density estimation: Extending the REST model by explicitly modelling animal detection processes

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 17, Issue 3, Page 850-862, March 2026.
Abstract Accurate and reliable estimation of wildlife population density is fundamental to effective conservation and management. While camera traps show potential for monitoring ground‐dwelling mammal densities, labour‐intensive data processing remains a significant constraint. Ideally, conservation efforts would benefit from the continuous monitoring

Dominant Lethal Pathologies in Male Mice Engineered to Contain an X-Linked DUX4 Transgene

Cell Reports, 2014
Facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy (FSHD) is an enigmatic disease associated with epigenetic alterations in the subtelomeric heterochromatin of the D4Z4 macrosatellite repeat.

Interleukin‐6 as a Key Biomarker in Facioscapulohumeral Dystrophy: Evidence From Longitudinal Analyses

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, Volume 13, Issue 2, Page 310-323, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Objective Facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy type 1 (FSHD1) is a progressive neuromuscular disorder with no approved treatments. Identifying reliable biomarkers is critical to monitor disease severity, activity, and progression. Interleukin‐6 (IL‐6) has been proposed as a candidate biomarker, but longitudinal validation is limited ...

Predictive value of D4Z4 methylation levels for phenotypic heterogeneity and disease progression in Facioscapulohumeral Muscular Dystrophy with borderline D4Z4 repeat units: a retrospective cohort study [PDF]

PeerJ
Background Facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy (FSHD) patients carrying borderline D4Z4 repeat units (DRUs) (8–10) represent a molecularly ambiguous group overlapping FSHD1 and FSHD2, characterized by pronounced phenotypic heterogeneity.

Development of a Four‐Language Questionnaire to Investigate Environmental Risk Factors for the Development of Canine Atopic Dermatitis and to Monitor Disease Course and Progression

Veterinary Dermatology, Volume 37, Issue 1, Page 34-44, February 2026.
Background: The chronic and multifactorial character of canine atopic dermatitis (cAD) often leads to poor disease control and treatment dissatisfaction. Environmental factors are likely to contribute to the disease development and may play a more important role than assumed previously.

NuRD and CAF-1-mediated silencing of the D4Z4 array is modulated by DUX4-induced MBD3L proteins

eLife, 2018
The DUX4 transcription factor is encoded by a retrogene embedded in each unit of the D4Z4 macrosatellite repeat. DUX4 is normally expressed in the cleavage-stage embryo, whereas chromatin repression prevents DUX4 expression in most somatic tissues ...

Effect of a Spray Containing Occlusive Agents, Humectants and Physiological Lipids on Skin Hydration of Healthy Dogs When Applied After Bathing With a Chlorhexidine 2%/Miconazole 2% Shampoo

Veterinary Dermatology, Volume 37, Issue 1, Page 140-147, February 2026.
Background: Normal hydration of the canine epidermis is imperative for cutaneous homeostasis. Xerosis may be encountered in canine atopic dermatitis and may be aggravated by topical antiseptics. Hypothesis and Objectives: To evaluate the hydrating properties and the safety of a spray (Sensiderm spray; MP Labo) when applied after shampooing healthy dogs

Emerging roles of macrosatellite repeats in genome organization and disease development

Epigenetics, 2017
Abundant repetitive DNA sequences are an enigmatic part of the human genome. Despite increasing evidence on the functionality of DNA repeats, their biologic role is still elusive and under frequent debate.
