Assessing Extracellular Vesicle Proteins as Predictive Biomarkers for Developing Type 1 Diabetes

PROTEOMICS, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Plasma extracellular vesicles (EVs) are considered excellent sources for biomarker discovery since they carry signatures of their cellular origin and disease processes. In this paper, we evaluate the potential of plasma EV proteomics analysis for identifying predictive biomarkers of developing type 1 diabetes (T1D), which results from ...

Silver Standard Masks for Data Augmentation Applied to Deep-Learning-Based Skull-Stripping

, 2017
The bottleneck of convolutional neural networks (CNN) for medical imaging is the number of annotated data required for training. Manual segmentation is considered to be the "gold-standard".

The Safety of Interferon‐Based Therapies in Chronic Hepatitis B Patients With Compensatory Cirrhosis

Portal Hypertension &Cirrhosis, EarlyView.
While nucleos(t)ide analog (Nuc) therapy is the standard for chronic hepatitis B, pegylated interferon‐alpha (Peg‐IFN‐α) provides unique advantages, including finite treatment duration and long‐term benefits. However, its use in patients with compensated cirrhosis remains limited due to persistent safety concerns about potential decompensation and ...

Crisis of Water Resources on the Ulan Buh Desert Oases, Inner Mongolia, China-A Case Study of Dengkou County

Journal of Integrative Agriculture, 2013
Hetao Plain, composed of hundreds of oases, is one of the most important grain-producing areas in China. Most crops, especially wheat and corn, depend on irrigation, thus water availability is a key issue for grain productivity on this land.

Nutritional properties, traditional uses and potential new applications for the sotol plant (Asparagaceae, Convallarioideae): A review

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Sotol (Dasylirion spp.) is a resilient desert plant that sustains ecosystems, cultures and livelihoods in Chihuahua Desert. Our review highlights its nutritional properties, traditional uses and potential new applications in food, pharmaceuticals, renewable energy and water remediation. By synthesizing evidence across disciplines, we show how sotol can

Population Dynamics in Spatially Heterogeneous Systems with Drift: the generalized contact process

, 2005
We investigate the time evolution and stationary states of a stochastic, spatially discrete, population model (contact process) with spatial heterogeneity and imposed drift (wind) in one- and two-dimensions. We consider in particular a situation in which

Cross‐Linking Mass Spectrometry of the Antimicrobial Peptides Magainin 2 and PGLa Reveals Heterodimerization in Micellar Medium

Rapid Communications in Mass Spectrometry, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Rationale In this study, we applied cross‐linking mass spectrometry (XL‐MS) to characterize the oligomeric states of a PGLa/magainin 2 mixture and gain insight into the heterodimerization previously suggested in the literature. Both peptides have shown a synergistic enhancement of activity when tested in antimicrobial assays; however, the ...

Multi‐Platform Deployments of Low‐Cost Devices for Cetacean Passive Acoustic Monitoring

Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.
Recent advances in affordable, user‐friendly devices offer new opportunities to overcome cost constraints of underwater passive acoustic monitoring (PAM) and expand acoustic data collection. In this study, we deployed low‐cost acoustic recorders and underwater cameras across a range of platforms in the Western Mediterranean, including fishing gear ...
