An unsupervised learning approach to identify novel signatures of health and disease from multimodal data

Genome Medicine, 2020
Background Modern medicine is rapidly moving towards a data-driven paradigm based on comprehensive multimodal health assessments. Integrated analysis of data from different modalities has the potential of uncovering novel biomarkers and disease ...

A novel benchmark for COVID-19 pandemic testing effectiveness enables the accurate prediction of new Intensive Care Unit admissions

Scientific Reports, 2021
The positivity rate of testing is currently used both as a benchmark of testing adequacy and for assessing the evolution of the COVID-19 pandemic. However, since the former is a prerequisite for the latter, its interpretation is often conflicting.

Mitochondrial TrxR2 regulates metabolism and protects from metabolic disease through enhanced TCA and ETC function

Communications Biology, 2022
TrxR2 overexpression in mice enhances metabolism and prevents high-fat diet induced metabolic deficits in mice through alteration in function of several enzymes in the tricarboxylic acid cycle and complexes of the electron transport chain.

Ironing out exercise on immuno-oncological outcomes

Journal for ImmunoTherapy of Cancer, 2022
Despite accumulating evidence that supports the beneficial effects of physical exercise in inhibiting cancer progression, whether exercise modulates its effects through systemic and cellular changes in iron metabolism and immune-tumor crosstalk is ...

Utilization of defined microbial communities enables effective evaluation of meta-genomic assemblies

BMC Genomics, 2017
Background Metagenomics is the study of the microbial genomes isolated from communities found on our bodies or in our environment. By correctly determining the relation between human health and the human associated microbial communities, novel mechanisms

Correlates of estimated lifetime cruciate ligament survival inform potential rupture risk reduction strategies: findings from the Exceptional Aging in Rottweilers Study

Scientific Reports, 2023
Cranial cruciate ligament (CCL) rupture is one of the most commonly diagnosed orthopedic conditions of pet dogs, making estimated lifetime cruciate ligament survival an attractive endpoint for studies attempting to define clinical and genetic correlates ...

A multiple technology-based physical activity intervention for Latina adolescents in the USA: randomized controlled trial study protocol for Chicas Fuertes

Trials, 2022
Background Latina adolescents in the USA report some of the lowest rates of physical activity of any demographic subgroup; this is paralleled by a markedly higher lifetime risk of obesity, type 2 diabetes, and other conditions related to inactivity ...

Changes in insulin, adiponectin and lipid concentrations with age are associated with frailty and reduced quality of life in dogs

Scientific Reports
Declining metabolic function with aging is a conserved phenotype across many species. While aging-associated changes in metabolic status have been investigated rigorously in humans, less is known about metabolic aging in dogs.

Translational immune and metabolic markers of aging in dogs

Scientific Reports
Dogs serve as a promising aging model due to their genetic diversity, condensed lifespan, and shared living environment with humans. Alterations in the immune and metabolic parameters are hallmarks of aging in humans, but few studies have investigated ...
