A cautionary note on the power of the test for the indirect effect in mediation analysis.

Frontiers in Psychology, 2015
Recent simulation studies have pointed to the higher power of the test for the mediated effect versus the test for the total effect, even in the presence of a direct effect.

Correcting the Bias Correction for the Bootstrap Confidence Interval in Mediation Analysis

Frontiers in Psychology, 2022
The bias-corrected bootstrap confidence interval (BCBCI) was once the method of choice for conducting inference on the indirect effect in mediation analysis due to its high power in small samples, but now it is criticized by methodologists for its ...

Transcriptomic changes in donor soybean, dodder bridge, and the connected recipient soybean induced by cadmium addition

Frontiers in Plant Science
BackgroundCuscuta spp. (dodders) are parasitic plants that belong to the Convolvulaceae family. In nature, dodder often forms a bridge-like connection between two or more host plants like, which is known as a dodder bridge. Cadmium (Cd2+) is an important

Sensitivity of Homogeneous Ice Nucleation to Aerosol Perturbations and Its Implications for Aerosol Indirect Effects Through Cirrus Clouds

Geophysical Research Letters, 2018
The magnitude and sign of anthropogenic aerosol impacts on cirrus clouds through ice nucleation are still very uncertain. In this study, aerosol sensitivity (ηα), defined as the sensitivity of the number concentration (Ni) of ice crystals formed from ...

Valosin‐containing protein counteracts ATP‐driven dissolution of FUS condensates through its ATPase activity in vitro

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Biomolecular condensates formed by fused in sarcoma (FUS) are dissolved by high ATP concentrations yet persist in cells. Using a reconstituted system, we demonstrate that valosin‐containing protein (VCP), an AAA+ ATPase, counteracts ATP‐driven dissolution of FUS condensates through its D2 ATPase activity.
