Bayesian modelling for binary outcomes in the Regression Discontinuity Design [PDF]
The Regression Discontinuity (RD) design is a quasi-experimental design which emulates a randomised study by exploiting situations where treatment is assigned according to a continuous variable as is common in many drug treatment guidelines. The RD design literature focuses principally on continuous outcomes.

This study reveals a novel crosstalk between hepatic SREBP2‐mediated cholesterol biosynthesis pathway and peripheral lipoprotein lipase‐mediated lipolysis pathway in the regulation of systemic lipid metabolism. Notably, the lipid‐lowering effects of SREBP2 inhibition are independent of a functional LDL receptor, highlighting the potential of acute ...

Pigs with two mutant epitopes, Lpb5 of apolipoprotein B (apoB) and Lpu1 of a yet undefined apolipoprotein, specified by a haplotype Lpb5-Lpu1 and fed a cholesterol-free low fat diet show hypercholesterolemia.

Protective immunity elicited by recombinant bacille Calmette-Guerin (BCG) expressing outer surface protein A (OspA) lipoprotein: a candidate Lyme disease vaccine. [PDF]
The current vaccine against tuberculosis, Mycobacterium bovis strain bacille Calmette-Guerin (BCG), offers potential advantages as a live, innately immunogenic vaccine vehicle for the expression and delivery of protective recombinant antigens (Stover, C ...

Targeting USP1 is identified as a strategy that significantly enhances type I IFN‐dependent innate immune response within the TME following radiotherapy. Mechanistically, USP1 inhibition facilitates STING trafficking from ER to Golgi by preserving K27‐linked oligo‐ubiquitination of SAR1A, thereby facilitating efficient activation of the dsDNA‐cGAS ...

The role of the lysosome in the metabolism of lysophosphatidylcholine was investigated in isolated rat hepatocytes. Chloroquine, primaquine, and ammonium chloride caused a 2.5-fold increase in radioactive lysophosphatidylcholine in [methyl-3H]choline ...

Regression Discontinuity Designs: A Decision Theoretic Approach [PDF]
The regression discontinuity design (RDD) is a quasi-experimental design that can be used to identify and estimate the causal effect of a treatment using observational data. In an RDD, a pre-specified rule is used for treatment assignment, whereby a subject is assigned to the treatment (control) group whenever their observed value of a specific ...

Targeting Histone Deacetylase 11 with a Highly Selective Inhibitor for the Treatment of MASLD
A potent HDAC11‐specific inhibitor, B6, is identified using substrate‐mimic and bioisosteric replacement strategies. B6 demonstrates high oral bioavailability, extensive liver distribution, and a favorable safety profile. B6 effectively alleviates metabolic dysfunction‐associated steatotic liver disease by increasing the expression of LKB1 and ...

Cholesterol 7 alpha-hydroxylase (cyp7) is the rate-limiting enzyme in bile acid biosynthesis. Previously, dietary cholesterol was shown to induce cyp7 gene expression. However, recent studies have produced data that are inconsistent with this observation,
