Data to understand the biotransfer of heavy metals along the soil-plant-edible insect-human food chain in Africa

Data in Brief, 2023
Data on the biotransfer of heavy metals along the soil-plant-edible insect-human food chain collected along a 60km pollution gradient is presented here.

Multivariate regular variation of heavy-tailed Markov chains [PDF]

arXiv, 2007
The upper extremes of a Markov chain with regulary varying stationary marginal distribution are known to exhibit under general conditions a multiplicative random walk structure called the tail chain. More generally, if the Markov chain is allowed to switch from positive to negative extremes or vice versa, the distribution of the tail chain increment ...

Human papillomavirus (HPV) prediction for oropharyngeal cancer based on CT by using off‐the‐shelf features: A dual‐dataset study

Journal of Applied Clinical Medical Physics, EarlyView.
Abstract Background This study aims to develop a novel predictive model for determining human papillomavirus (HPV) presence in oropharyngeal cancer using computed tomography (CT). Current image‐based HPV prediction methods are hindered by high computational demands or suboptimal performance.

Decreased Thermal Conductivity of Polyethylene Chain Influenced by Short Chain Branching [PDF]

arXiv, 2017
In this paper, we have studied the effect of short branches on the thermal conductivity of a polyethylene (PE) chain. With a reverse non-equilibrium molecular dynamics method applied, thermal conductivities of the pristine PE chain and the PE-ethyl chain are simulated and compared.

Calcium modulating ligand confers risk for Parkinson's disease and impacts lysosomes

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective Several genetic loci known to confer risk for Parkinson's disease (PD) function in lysosomal pathways. We systematically screened common variants linked to PD risk by genome‐wide association studies (GWAS) for impact on cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) proteins reflecting lysosomal function.

Multiple myeloma immunoglobulin lambda translocations portend poor prognosis

Nature Communications, 2019
Multiple myeloma is frequently characterised by translocation of genes next to the immunoglobulin heavy chain locus. In this study, the authors sequence a large cohort of high risk myeloma samples and find translocations of cMyc to the immunoglobulin ...

ALS plasma biomarkers reveal neurofilament and pTau correlate with disease onset and progression

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective We performed a pilot screen to assess the utility of the NULISA™ (Nucleic‐acid‐Linked Immuno‐Sandwich Assay) platform in the identification of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) biomarkers. Methods Plasma from 86 individuals (48 ALS, 18 asymptomatic C9orf72 repeat expansion carriers (AsymC9), and 20 healthy controls) was analyzed ...

Unleashing the Power of Multiomics: Unraveling the Molecular Landscape of Peripheral Neuropathy

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Peripheral neuropathies (PNs) affect over 20 million individuals in the United States, manifesting as a wide range of sensory, motor, and autonomic nerve symptoms. While various conditions such as diabetes, metabolic disorders, trauma, autoimmune disease, and chemotherapy‐induced neurotoxicity have been linked to PN, approximately one‐third of

Universal Proteomic Signature After Exercise‐Induced Muscle Injury in Muscular Dystrophies

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Several neuromuscular disorders (NMDs) are characterized by progressive muscle damage and are marked by the elevation of circulating muscle proteins from activity‐related injury. Despite a diverse array of genetic drivers, many NMDs share similar patterns of exercise intolerance and higher concentrations of muscle injury proteins ...

Characterization and Optimization of Vesicle Properties in bioPISA: from Size Distribution to Post‐Assembly Loading

Advanced Biology, EarlyView.
The paper explores the creation and characterization of vesicles through biocatalytic Polymerization‐Induced Self‐Assembly (bioPISA), focusing on achieving size uniformity using centrifugation techniques. It examines the effects of stirring speed on vesicle morphology and analyses the internal polymer‐rich structure using fluorescence correlation ...
