Fertility and its Meaning: Evidence from Search Behavior [PDF]

arXiv, 2017
Fertility choices are linked to the different preferences and constraints of individuals and couples, and vary importantly by socio-economic status, as well by cultural and institutional context. The meaning of childbearing and child-rearing, therefore, differs between individuals and across groups.

A Model of Epigenetic Inheritance Accounts for Unexpected Adaptation to Unforeseen Challenges

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A general model of inheriting changes that are acquired during the lifetime of individuals demonstrates tremendous benefits to the population, including escape from extinction in changing environments. Contrasting the model with experimental data shows that inheritance of acquired changes enables rapid adaptation to unforeseen challenges, and accounts ...

Targeting miRNA‐1a and miRNA‐15b: A Novel Combinatorial Strategy to Drive Adult Cardiac Regeneration

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
The article explores a novel therapeutic strategy for cardiac regeneration by targeting miRNA‐1a and miRNA‐15b. Combinatorial inhibition of miR‐1a and miR‐15b enhances cardiomyocyte proliferation, improves heart function, and reduces fibrosis in myocardial infarction models.

Machine learning center-specific models show improved IVF live birth predictions over US national registry-based model

Nature Communications
Expanding in vitro fertilization (IVF) access requires improved patient counseling and affordability via cost-success transparency. Clinicians ask how two types of live birth prediction (LBP) models perform: machine learning, center-specific (MLCS ...

Mitofusin 1 Drives Preimplantation Development by Enhancing Chromatin Incorporation of Histone H3.3

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
MFN1 exerts its function partially through histone H3.3 in early embryos. MFN1 colocalizes with PADI6, and its deficiency results in compromised cytoplasmic lattices and ribosomal subunits, leading to declined H3.3 protein level. This, in turn, hinders the incorporation of H3.3 into the embryonic genome, thereby causing failure of male pronucleus ...

Transmission factors and exposure to infections at work and invasive pneumococcal disease

American Journal of Industrial Medicine, Volume 66, Issue 1, Page 65-74, January 2023., 2023
Abstract Background Working in close contacts with coworkers or the general public may be associated with transmission of invasive pneumococcal disease (IPD). We investigated whether crowded workplaces, sharing surfaces, and exposure to infections were factors associated with IPD.

Association of follicular fluid volume with membrane stretchability of human metaphase II oocytes following the gonadotropin‐releasing hormone agonist protocol during intracytoplasmic sperm injection

Reproductive Medicine and Biology, 2018
Purpose The authors previously revealed the association of the follicular fluid (FF) volume with oolemma stretchability following the gonadotropin‐releasing hormone (GnRH) antagonist protocol during intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI).

An Insect Salivary Sheath Protein Triggers Plant Resistance to Insects and Pathogens as a Conserved HAMP

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
The salivary sheath protein myosin from SBPH is critical for the formation of the salivary sheath and feeding. However, myosin functions as a HAMP and triggered plant BAK1‐mediated PTI responses, which include the activation of calcium signaling pathways, MAPK phosphorylation, ROS bursts, and cell death, thereby triggering JA pathway.

1p36 deletion syndrome: Review and mapping with further characterization of the phenotype, a new cohort of 86 patients

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, Volume 191, Issue 2, Page 445-458, February 2023., 2023
Abstract Chromosome 1p36 deletion syndrome (1p36DS) is one of the most common terminal deletion syndromes (incidence between 1/5000 and 1/10,000 live births in the American population), due to a heterozygous deletion of part of the short arm of chromosome 1.
