DCIR suppresses osteoclastic proliferation and resorption by downregulating M-CSF and RANKL signaling

Frontiers in Immunology, 2023
Dendritic cell immunoreceptor (DCIR) is an inhibitory C-type lectin receptor that acts as a negative regulator in the immune system and bone metabolism.

Fluctuations in models of biological macroevolution

, 2005
Fluctuations in diversity and extinction sizes are discussed and compared for two different, individual-based models of biological coevolution. Both models display power-law distributions for various quantities of evolutionary interest, such as the ...

Internal Models in Biological Control [PDF]

Annual Review of Control, Robotics, and Autonomous Systems, 2019
Rationality principles such as optimal feedback control and Bayesian inference underpin a probabilistic framework that has accounted for a range of empirical phenomena in biological sensorimotor control. To facilitate the optimization of flexible and robust behaviors consistent with these theories, the ability to construct internal models of the motor ...

A Method to Identify and Analyze Biological Programs through Automated Reasoning. [PDF]

, 2016
Predictive biology is elusive because rigorous, data-constrained, mechanistic models of complex biological systems are difficult to derive and validate.

Kinetic hierarchy and propagation of chaos in biological swarm models [PDF]

, 2011
We consider two models of biological swarm behavior. In these models, pairs of particles interact to adjust their velocities one to each other. In the first process, called 'BDG', they join their average velocity up to some noise.

Relaxation kinetics of biological dimer adsorption models

, 2001
We discuss the relaxation kinetics of a one-dimensional dimer adsorption model as recently proposed for the binding of biological dimers like kinesin on microtubules.

Tapuy lees attenuate amyloid-β toxicity and dopaminergic neurodegeneration more effectively than Tapuy wine in C. elegans models of Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s disease

Discover Food
Tapuy is a traditional rice wine from the Philippines. We explored the potential of Tapuy wine and its fermentation by-product, lees, in reducing amyloid-beta toxicity in Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and dopaminergic neurodegeneration in Parkinson’s disease (

Intermittent supplementation with Akkermansia muciniphila and galactooligosaccharides modulates Alzheimer’s disease progression, gut microbiota, and colon short-chain fatty acid profiles in mice

Frontiers in Aging Neuroscience
BackgroundBidirectional communication and mutual regulation between the gastrointestinal tract and the CNS is facilitated through the gut-brain axis. Recent studies have found reduced diversity of the gut microbiota in Alzheimer’s disease (AD) patients ...

Sodium benzoate may reduce appetite in Drosophila melanogaster through serotonin upregulation [PDF]

Archives of Biological Sciences
Sodium benzoate is a common artificial preservative in processed food, yet little is known about its long-term health effects. Since sodium benzoate could upregulate serotonin, we hypothesized that it may induce satiety and activate processes underlying ...

Incidence and Outcome of Infants With Cancer in Canada: A Report From Cancer in Young People in Canada Database

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Purpose Infants with cancer are rare and face unique challenges. Our study aims to describe the incidence of infantile cancers in Canada and to compare treatment‐related mortality (TRM) and their outcomes with those of older children. Methods We conducted a retrospective cohort study using the Cancer in Young People in Canada database ...
