Neanderthal introgression in SCN9A impacts mechanical pain sensitivity

Communications Biology, 2023
The Nav1.7 voltage-gated sodium channel plays a key role in nociception. Three functional variants in the SCN9A gene (encoding M932L, V991L, and D1908G in Nav1.7), have recently been identified as stemming from Neanderthal introgression and to associate ...

Influence of a Standard Heat Treatment on the Microstructure and Properties of Inconel X‐750 Produced by Laser Powder Bed Fusion

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
Ni‐base superalloys produced using additive manufacturing (AM) have a different response to heat treatments when compared to their conventional counterparts. Due to such unpredictability, various alloys with industrial interest are currently overlooked in most prior AM research.

Advancements in Understanding the Physicochemical Properties of Reticular Materials: An In Situ and Operando Spectroscopic Perspective

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
This review explores how in situ and operando spectroscopic techniques reveal the real‐time behavior of reticular materials, including MOFs and COFs. These methods track material formation and functionalization, structural changes, defect formation, dynamic responses to external triggers, and catalytic processes.

Amerind ancestry, socioeconomic status and the genetics of type 2 diabetes in a Colombian population. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2012
The "thrifty genotype" hypothesis proposes that the high prevalence of type 2 diabetes (T2D) in Native Americans and admixed Latin Americans has a genetic basis and reflects an evolutionary adaptation to a past low calorie/high exercise lifestyle ...

Transfer Learning and Permutation‐Invariance Improving Predicting Genome‐Wide, Cell‐Specific and Directional Interventions Effects of Complex Systems

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
SETComp, a transfer learning model based on permutation‐invariance, is pre‐trained on single‐compound intervention data and fine‐tuned on complex system (e.g., natural products) data. The model achieves up to 93.86% accuracy on complex system‐cell‐gene association predictions, outperforming the baseline by up to 27.59%.

Unveiling Novel Viral Diversity, Biogeography, and Host Networks in Wildlife Through High‐Throughput Sequencing Data Mining

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Analysis of 57 536 high‐throughput sequencing datasets uncovers a vast, hidden world of viruses in wildlife. The researchers reveal significant geographic and host‐specific patterns of viruses, and their surprising cross‐species transmissions, such as avian flu viruses infecting goats.

Non‐Tariff Measures and U.S. Agricultural Exports

Applied Economic Perspectives and Policy, EarlyView.
Abstract How much do non‐tariff measures (NTMs) affect U.S. agricultural exports? While countries maintain a large and diverse set of NTMs to safeguard the health of plants, animals, and humans, policymakers and regulatory bodies may neglect the impact these measures have on international trade.

Dissecting Extreme Price Fluctuations in Mineral Fertilizers: Regularities and Co‐Movements in Light of Global Food Security

Applied Economic Perspectives and Policy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Extreme swings in food prices can put food security at risk. Fertilizer prices are among the main drivers of food prices. This work explores the recurrent behavior of the extreme global fertilizer price fluctuations underlying food price dynamics.
