Coal Mining as a Driver of Land Use and Land Cover Change and Degradation: A Case in Moatize City, Mozambique

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Coal remains a major global energy source despite ongoing environmental controversies, particularly, regarding climate change and landscape transformation. This study investigates the spatiotemporal dynamics of land use and land cover (LULC) in the Moatize Coal Basin (MCB), Mozambique, between 1990 and 2024, with a specific focus on land ...

Benchmarking Large Language Models for Polymer Property Predictions

Macromolecular Rapid Communications, EarlyView.
Large language models (LLMs) are fine‐tuned on polymer thermal property datasets to directly predict glass transition, melting, and decomposition temperatures from SMILES inputs. Compared to state‐of‐the‐art models such as Polymer Genome, polyGNN, and polyBERT, LLMs achieve competitive yet lower accuracy.

Foraging and movement flexibility shape seed dispersal by an arboreal primate in a modified landscape

Oikos, EarlyView.
As habitats change, the effectiveness of animal‐mediated seed dispersal increasingly depends on animal responses to altered structure and resources. With habitat loss and degradation accelerating across the tropics, understanding how dispersers' foraging behavior and movement influence seed removal and deposition is critical to promoting forest ...

Genetic analysis of primary lung interdigitating dendritic cell sarcomas

The Journal of Pathology, EarlyView.
Abstract Interdigitating dendritic cell sarcomas (IDCSs) are rare tumors that commonly arise in the hematopoietic system and rarely outside. The genetic drivers of IDCS carcinogenesis are unknown; therefore, therapeutic options are limited. We investigated somatic gene mutations and copy‐number alterations (CNAs) in nine IDCSs arising in the lung by ...

Transposable Elements, Inflammation, and Neurological Disease. [PDF]

, 2019
Transposable Elements (TE) are mobile DNA elements that can replicate and insert themselves into different locations within the host genome. Their propensity to self-propagate has a myriad of consequences and yet their biological significance is not well-

Distinct changes of genomic biases in nucleotide substitution at the time of mammalian radiation

, 2003
Differences in the regional substitution patterns in the human genome created patterns of large-scale variation of base composition known as genomic isochores.

Alterations in Metabolites Associated With Umbilical Cord Blood in Monozygotic Twins Discordant for Congenital Heart Disease

Pediatric Discovery, EarlyView.
This study found that the metabolomic signature of umbilical venous cord blood in congenital heart disease (CHD) differs from that of healthy monozygotic (MZ) co‐twins. Dysregulation of metabolic pathways like glucose, lipid, and amino acid metabolism, along with altered metabolites, helps understand CHD predisposition.

An appropriate DNA input for bisulfite conversion reveals LINE-1 and Alu hypermethylation in tissues and circulating cell-free DNA from cancers.

PLoS ONE
The autonomous and active Long-Interspersed Element-1 (LINE-1, L1) and the non-autonomous Alu retrotransposon elements, contributing to 30% of the human genome, are the most abundant repeated sequences.

Kaposiform hemangioendothelioma: Diagnosis and treatment

Pediatric Investigation, EarlyView.
Vascular endothelial growth factor‐C (VEGF‐C)/vascular endothelial growth factor receptor‐3 (VEGFR‐3) and angiopoietin‐2 (Ang‐2)/tyrosine kinase with immunoglobulin‐like and EGF‐like domain 2 (TIE2) signaling pathways play an important role in lymphangiogenesis.

Selective identification of epigenetic regulators at methylated genomic sites by SelectID

Nature Communications
DNA methylation is a significant component in proximal chromatin regulation and plays crucial roles in regulating gene expression and maintaining the repressive state of retrotransposon elements.
