Ionomycin suppresses cancer cell growth by disrupting mitochondrial transcription
FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.In this study, we identify a new function for the selective Ca2+ ionophore, ionomycin, as an inhibitor of mitochondrial transcription. Both total and nascent RNA analyses revealed that ionomycin treatment reduces the transcription of mitochondrial genes.

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.Lactoferrin promotes wound healing by activating MAPK, PI3K/Akt, and extracellular matrix pathways, enhancing fibroblast remodeling, proliferation, and re‐epithelialization. These mechanisms highlight its therapeutic potential in inflammation control, tissue repair, and remodeling.

For every IRT model, a mathematical function is used to specify the probability of item responses as a function of the ability (latent trait). The degree to which the observed data fit the mathematical function needs to be examined since valid results can only be drawn if the data fit the model.

Estimating the Importance of Differential Item Functioning
Journal of Educational and Behavioral Statistics, 1995Several methods have been proposed to detect differential item functioning (DIF), an item response pattern in which members of different demographic groups have different conditional probabilities of answering a test item correctly, given the same level of ability. In this article, the mixture index of fit, proposed by Rudas, Clogg, and Lindsay (1994) ,

Differential item functioning and health assessment
Quality of Life Research, 2007Establishing measurement equivalence is important because inaccurate assessment may lead to incorrect estimates of effects in research, and to suboptimal decisions at the individual, clinical level. Examination of differential item functioning (DIF) is a method for studying measurement equivalence.

Differential Item Functioning in rehabilitation research
Work, 2010Measurement is critical to Rehabilitation practice and research. To provide effective services and to have valid research results, it is imperative to have valid and reliable assessment tools. Differential Item Functioning (DIF) is a statistical procedure which better enables us to assess both the validity and the results of measurement instruments. As

A bibliometric study of differential item functioning
Scientometrics, 2005This study presents a bibliometric analysis of scientific output in the area of Differential Item Functioning (DIF), the aim being to offer an overview of research activity in this field and characterise its most important aspects and their evolution over the last quarter of the 20th century, thus providing data regarding the basis on which this ...

International Journal of Testing, 2015
Raju, van der Linden, and Fleer (1995) introduced a framework for differential functioning of items and tests (DFIT) for unidimensional dichotomous models. Since then, DFIT has been shown to be a quite versatile framework as it can handle polytomous as well as multidimensional models both at the item and test levels.

A Statistical Test for Differential Item Pair Functioning
Psychometrika, 2015This paper presents an IRT-based statistical test for differential item functioning (DIF). The test is developed for items conforming to the Rasch (Probabilistic models for some intelligence and attainment tests, The Danish Institute of Educational Research, Copenhagen, 1960) model but we will outline its extension to more complex IRT models.

5 Differential Item Functioning and Item Bias
2006Publisher Summary This chapter presents a description of many of the commonly employed methods in the detection of item bias. Because much of the statistical detection of item bias makes the use of differential item functioning (DIF) procedures, the majority of this chapter focuses on the description of statistical methods for the analysis of DIF ...
