Streptococcal Lancefield polysaccharides are critical cell wall determinants for human Group IIA secreted phospholipase A2 to exert its bactericidal effects.

PLoS Pathogens, 2018
Human Group IIA secreted phospholipase A2 (hGIIA) is an acute phase protein with bactericidal activity against Gram-positive bacteria. Infection models in hGIIA transgenic mice have suggested the importance of hGIIA as an innate defense mechanism against

Debiasing large language models: research opportunities*

Journal of the Royal Society of New Zealand, Volume 55, Issue 2, Page 372-395, April 2025.
ABSTRACT Large language models (LLMs) are powerful decision‐making tools widely adopted in healthcare, finance, and transportation. Embracing the opportunities and innovations of LLMs is inevitable. However, LLMs inherit stereotypes, misrepresentations, discrimination, and societies' biases from various sources–including training data, algorithm design,

Mutant Enpp1asj mice as a model for generalized arterial calcification of infancy

Disease Models & Mechanisms, 2013
SUMMARY Generalized arterial calcification of infancy (GACI), an autosomal recessive disorder, is characterized by early mineralization of blood vessels, often diagnosed by prenatal ultrasound and usually resulting in demise during the first year of life.

Local regularity analysis of strata heterogeneities from sonic logs [PDF]

Nonlinear Processes in Geophysics, 2010
Borehole logs provide geological information about the rocks crossed by the wells. Several properties of rocks can be interpreted in terms of lithology, type and quantity of the fluid filling the pores and fractures.

Autologous bone grafting in combination with autologous chondrocyte implantation yields favourable outcomes in the treatment of osteochondral defects of the knee: A systematic literature review

Knee Surgery, Sports Traumatology, Arthroscopy, Volume 32, Issue 11, Page 2999-3014, November 2024.
Abstract Purpose This study addresses the gap in the current literature by evaluating the combined treatment of autologous bone grafting and autologous chondrocyte implantation (ABCI) for osteochondral defects of the knee. It aims to evaluate clinical outcomes against methodological quality and to summarize histological results and surgical techniques.

The effects of stress on gut virome: Implications on infectious disease and systemic disorders

MicrobiologyOpen, Volume 13, Issue 5, October 2024.
Stress conditions can weaken the host's immune system, affecting the entire gut–brain axis. Concurrently, disruptions in the composition of the gut microbiota are associated with exacerbations of diseases. This review explores the complex interplay between stress, gut virome, and the host immune system.

Cold Diffusion Model for Seismic Denoising

Journal of Geophysical Research: Machine Learning and Computation, Volume 1, Issue 2, June 2024.
Abstract Seismic waves contain information about the earthquake source, the geologic structure they traverse, and many forms of noise. Separating the noise from the earthquake is a difficult task because optimal parameters for filtering noise typically vary with time and, if chosen inappropriately, may strongly alter the original seismic waveform ...

Influence of environmental conditions on population growth and age‐specific vital rates of a long‐lived primate species in two contrasted habitats

Population Ecology, Volume 66, Issue 2, Page 71-85, April 2024.
This study explores how environmental variations affect the demographic and life history patterns of two Barbary macaque (Macaca sylvanus) populations living in contrasted habitats. Female Barbary macaques exhibited classical patterns of survival and reproduction with evidence of both actuarial and reproductive senescence.
