Population and species neighbor identity impact trait–trait relationships and plant performance
We evaluated how populations and species identity influence plant performance and trait outcomes in mixtures, and assessed trait variation among populations of two forb species native to the western United States (Dieteria canescens and Heterotheca villosa) following three interaction treatments (single‐population monoculture, two‐population mixture ...

Using Genetic Data to Build Intuition about Population History [PDF]
Genetic data are now routinely used to study the history of population size, subdivision, and gene flow. A variety of formal statistical methods is available for testing hypotheses and fitting models to data. Yet it is often unclear which hypotheses are worth testing, which models worth fitting.

In vivo IL‐10 produced by tissue‐resident tolDC is involved in maintaining/inducing tolerance. Depending on the agent used for ex vivo tolDC generation, cells acquire common features but prime T cells towards anergy, FOXP3+ Tregs, or Tr1 cells according to the levels of IL‐10 produced. Ex vivo‐induced tolDC were administered to patients to re‐establish/

Context, ethics and pharmacogenetics [PDF]
Most of the literature on pharmacogenetics assumes that the main problems in implementing the technology will be institutional ones (due to funding or regulation) and that although it involves genetic testing, the ethical issues involved in ...

Fast permutation tests and related methods, for association between rare variants and binary outcomes [PDF]
In large scale genetic association studies, a primary aim is to test for association between genetic variants and a disease outcome. The variants of interest are often rare, and appear with low frequency among subjects. In this situation, statistical tests based on standard asymptotic results do not adequately control the Type I error rate, especially ...

FoxO1 signaling in B cell malignancies and its therapeutic targeting
FoxO1 has context‐specific tumor suppressor or oncogenic character in myeloid and B cell malignancies. This includes tumor‐promoting properties such as stemness maintenance and DNA damage tolerance in acute leukemias, or regulation of cell proliferation and survival, or migration in mature B cell malignancies.

Population testing for cancer predisposing BRCA1/BRCA2 mutations [PDF]
Background: Technological advances raise the possibility of systematic population-based genetic testing for cancer-predisposing mutations, but it is uncertain whether benefits outweigh disadvantages.

Calcium‐sensing receptor‐ and ADAM10‐mediated klotho shedding is regulated by tetraspanin 5
The G protein‐coupled calcium‐sensing receptor (CaSR) and the disintegrin/metalloprotease ADAM10 in the renal distal convoluted tubule control systemic levels of Klotho, a cell and tissue homeostasis‐preserving factor. We show that CaSR‐induced cleavage of membrane‐bound αKlotho by ADAM10 requires tetraspanin 5 (Tspan5), a scaffolding and chaperone ...
