Alzheimer’s Research & Therapy, 2018 Background The concept of dependence has been proposed as a unified representation of disease severity to quantify and stage disease progression in a manner more informative to patients, caregivers, and healthcare providers. Methods This paper provides a

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Ascidian Ciona larvae initially show strong clockwise tail twisting, which is largely corrected during development. However, a small residual twist remains. This study shows that organized helical myofibrils in tail muscles mechanically stabilize this residual asymmetry, preventing complete restoration of bilateral symmetry and revealing how embryos ...

On a new measure of dependence and its applications
, 2012 A new measure of dependence called pseudo-covariance and related to covariance is proposed. It can be applied in problems when the classic covariance fails.

Measure of Dependence for Length-Biased Survival Data [PDF]
, 2017 In epidemiological studies, subjects with disease (prevalent cases) differ from newly diseased (incident cases). They tend to survive longer due to sampling bias, and related covariates will also be biased.

Nonparametric Estimation of the Tail-Dependence Coefficient
Revstat Statistical Journal, 2013 A common measure of tail dependence is the so-called tail-dependence coefficient. We present a nonparametric estimator of the tail-dependence coefficient and prove its strong consistency and asymptotic normality in the case of known marginal ...

Biophysical approaches for studying viral entry
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Viruses infect all living organisms and have been responsible for major epidemics and pandemics. Their ongoing evolutionary battle with host defenses creates a constant need for improved tools to study viral behavior. Advancing methods to probe viral attachment, fusion, and genome release deepen our understanding of how infections begin and support the

BMC BioinformaticsBackground Using information measures to infer biological regulatory networks can capture nonlinear relationships between variables. However, it is computationally challenging, and there is a lack of convenient tools.

The human gut microbiome across the life course
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Despite significant individual variation and continuous change throughout life, the human gut microbiome follows some life stage‐specific trends. This article provides a brief overview of how gut microbiome composition shifts across different phases of life. Created in BioRender. Özkurt, E. (2026) https://BioRender.com/8q4nrnc.

Component importance based on dependence measures [PDF]
Mathematical Methods of Operations Research, 2017 We discuss the construction of component importance measures for binary coherent reliability systems from known stochastic dependence measures by measuring the dependence between system and component failures. We treat both the time-dependent case in which the system and its components are described by binary random variables at a fixed instant as well
