Aortic valve imaging using 18F-sodium fluoride: impact of triple motion correction

EJNMMI Physics, 2022
Background Current 18F-NaF assessments of aortic valve microcalcification using 18F-NaF PET/CT are based on evaluations of end-diastolic or cardiac motion-corrected (ECG-MC) images, which are affected by both patient and respiratory motion.

Identifying transcription factors controlling the basal expression of human MRP4 highlights a substantial role for Sp1

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
The MRP4 transporter exports several drugs and signaling molecules. Here, we identified key promoter elements regulating basal MRP4 expression. Using reporter assays, we defined a conserved region with essential Sp1 and contributory Ets sites, which controlled basal MRP4 expression.

Molecular characterization of covRS mutations in M1UK Streptococcus pyogenes

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Group A Streptococcus (GAS) acquires covRS mutations driving a hypervirulent bacterial state, frequently associated with invasive disease‐like necrotizing fasciitis. We demonstrate that the newly emerged M1UK GAS lineage can also acquire these mutations.

SGMT with S-PACE: A Framework for Temporal Alignment and Quality-Aware Multimodal Fusion in Emotion Recognition

Mathematics
Multimodal emotion recognition is challenging because behavioral signals and physiological responses evolve at different temporal rates. Facial expressions and speech often change rapidly after an emotional event, whereas peripheral biosignals such as ...
