Skin microbiome engineering: Challenges and opportunities in skin diseases treatment
iMetaOmics, EarlyView.The skin microbiome plays a crucial role in skin health, influencing barrier integrity, immune responses, and disease susceptibility. Various interventions can reshape the microbiome, broadly categorized into targeted and untargeted approaches. Targeted strategies, such as phage therapy, engineered bacteria, and phage lysins, selectively modulate ...

NeoUNet: Towards accurate colon polyp segmentation and neoplasm detection [PDF]
arXiv, 2021 Automatic polyp segmentation has proven to be immensely helpful for endoscopy procedures, reducing the missing rate of adenoma detection for endoscopists while increasing efficiency. However, classifying a polyp as being neoplasm or not and segmenting it at the pixel level is still a challenging task for doctors to perform in a limited time.

Strong gender differences in reproductive success variance, and the times to the most recent common ancestors [PDF]
Journal of Theoretical Biology 310, 43-54 (2012), 2012 The Time To the Most Recent Common Ancestor (TMRCA) based on human mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) is estimated to be twice that based on the non-recombining part of the Y chromosome (NRY). These TMRCAs have special demographic implications because mtDNA is transmitted only from mother to child, and NRY from father to son.

Genital Crohn's disease in pediatrics and genetic associations
JPGN Reports, EarlyView.Abstract Genital edema is a rare presentation of Crohn's disease (CD), also known as metastatic CD (MCD). This may precede, co‐occur with, or follow gastrointestinal symptoms and present a diagnostic challenge. We aimed to characterize the features, clinical courses, pathogenesis, and outcomes of patients with MCD to increase understanding and promote ...

Simulating Male Selfish Strategy in Reproduction Dispute [PDF]
, 2002 We introduce into the Penna Model for biological ageing one of the possible male mechanisms used to maximize the ability of their sperm to compete with sperm from other males. Such a selfish mechanism increases the male reproduction success but may decrease the survival probability of the whole female population, depending on how it acts.

Emerging trends in the management of non‐obstructive azoospermia
UroPrecision, EarlyView.Abstract Ten percent of infertile males have azoospermia, classified into obstructive and nonobstructive types, which require specific medical or surgical treatments. In nonobstructive azoospermia, advancements in microsurgery allow for effective sperm retrieval in about half of cases.
