Avoiding Information during Serious Illness: Insights into the Information Behavior of Cancer Patients

open access: yesProceedings of the Association for Information Science and Technology, 2021
AbstractCancer patients seek information about their health and illness using many different approaches. Some prefer to seek intensively whereas other avoid seeking information. Over the course of the cancer continuum an individual may meet their needs using several different approaches.

Function‐driven design of a surrogate interleukin‐2 receptor ligand

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Interleukin (IL)‐2 signaling can be achieved and precisely fine‐tuned through the affinity, distance, and orientation of the heterodimeric receptors with their ligands. We designed a biased IL‐2 surrogate ligand that selectively promotes effector T and natural killer cell activation and differentiation. Interleukin (IL) receptors play a pivotal role in

Obstacle Avoidance and Proscriptive Bayesian Programming [PDF]

open access: yes, 2003
Unexpected events and not modeled properties of the robot environment are some of the challenges presented by situated robotics research field. Collision avoidance is a basic security requirement and this paper proposes a probabilistic approach called ...

Seeking and avoiding information: a qualitative study of the information behaviour of cancer patients

open access: yesInformation Research: an international electronic journal, 2022
Cancer patients seek information about their health and illness in many ways. Some seek information intensively while others avoid doing so. Through the cancer continuum, individuals may choose to meet their needs using several different approaches. In this paper, we explore how cancer patients actively seek information and, in some cases, cautiously ...

Mechanisms of parasite‐mediated disruption of brain vessels

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Parasites can affect the blood vessels of the brain, often causing serious neurological problems. This review explains how different parasites interact with and disrupt these vessels, what this means for brain health, and why these processes matter. Understanding these mechanisms may help us develop better ways to prevent or treat brain infections in ...

An upstream open reading frame regulates expression of the mitochondrial protein Slm35 and mitophagy flux

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
This study reveals how the mitochondrial protein Slm35 is regulated in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. The authors identify stress‐responsive DNA elements and two upstream open reading frames (uORFs) in the 5′ untranslated region of SLM35. One uORF restricts translation, and its mutation increases Slm35 protein levels and mitophagy.

Decentralized Control of Uncertain Multi-Agent Systems with Connectivity Maintenance and Collision Avoidance

open access: yes, 2018
This paper addresses the problem of navigation control of a general class of uncertain nonlinear multi-agent systems in a bounded workspace of $\mathbb{R}^n$ with static obstacles. In particular, we propose a decentralized control protocol such that each

Characterizing the salivary RNA landscape to identify potential diagnostic, prognostic, and follow‐up biomarkers for breast cancer

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, EarlyView.
This study explores salivary RNA for breast cancer (BC) diagnosis, prognosis, and follow‐up. High‐throughput RNA sequencing identified distinct salivary RNA signatures, including novel transcripts, that differentiate BC from healthy controls, characterize histological and molecular subtypes, and indicate lymph node involvement.

Developing a framework for understanding health information behavior change from avoidance to acquisition: a grounded theory exploration

open access: yesBMC Public Health, 2022
Background Health information avoidance is common in real life, but because it is not always conducive to health promotion and maintenance, people often actively switch to health information acquisition.

Acute Itch Induces Attentional Avoidance of Itch-related Information

open access: yesActa Dermato-Venereologica, 2022
Attention is known to modulate itch intensity. In contrast, the reverse relationship, i.e. the degree to which the presence of an acute itch affects attention, is currently not well understood.
