By dawn or dusk—how circadian timing rewrites bacterial infection outcomes

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
The circadian clock shapes immune function, yet its influence on infection outcomes is only beginning to be understood. This review highlights how circadian timing alters host responses to the bacterial pathogens Salmonella enterica, Listeria monocytogenes, and Streptococcus pneumoniae revealing that the effectiveness of immune defense depends not only

Optimal two-stage group sequential designs based on Mann-Whitney-Wilcoxon test.

open access: yesPLoS ONE
The Mann-Whitney-Wilcoxon test, often referred to as the Mann-Whitney U test or Wilcoxon rank-sum test, is a non-parametric statistical test used to compare two independent groups when the dependent variable is ordinal or continuous but not normally ...

Design Issues for Generalized Linear Models: A Review

open access: yes, 2006
Generalized linear models (GLMs) have been used quite effectively in the modeling of a mean response under nonstandard conditions, where discrete as well as continuous data distributions can be accommodated.

Robust designs in non-inferiority three arm clinical trials with presence of heteroscedasticity [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
In this paper, we describe an adjusted method to facilitate a non-inferiority trial by a three-arm robust design. Because local optimal designs derived in Hasler et al.

Peptide‐based ligand antagonists block a Vibrio cholerae adhesin

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
The structure of a peptide‐binding domain of the Vibrio cholerae adhesin FrhA was solved by X‐ray crystallography, revealing how the inhibitory peptide AGYTD binds tightly at its Ca2+‐coordinated pocket. Structure‐guided design incorporating D‐amino acids enhanced binding affinity, providing a foundation for developing anti‐adhesion therapeutics ...

Optimal Portfolio Design for Statistical Arbitrage in Finance [PDF]

open access: yes2018 IEEE Statistical Signal Processing Workshop (SSP), 2018
In this paper, the optimal mean-reverting portfolio (MRP) design problem is considered, which plays an important role for the statistical arbitrage (a.k.a. pairs trading) strategy in financial markets. The target of the optimal MRP design is to construct a portfolio from the underlying assets that can exhibit a satisfactory mean reversion property and ...

Function‐driven design of a surrogate interleukin‐2 receptor ligand

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Interleukin (IL)‐2 signaling can be achieved and precisely fine‐tuned through the affinity, distance, and orientation of the heterodimeric receptors with their ligands. We designed a biased IL‐2 surrogate ligand that selectively promotes effector T and natural killer cell activation and differentiation. Interleukin (IL) receptors play a pivotal role in

How many repeated measures in repeated measures designs? Statistical issues for comparative trials

open access: yesBMC Medical Research Methodology, 2003
Background In many randomized and non-randomized comparative trials, researchers measure a continuous endpoint repeatedly in order to decrease intra-patient variability and thus increase statistical power. There has been little guidance in the literature

An upstream open reading frame regulates expression of the mitochondrial protein Slm35 and mitophagy flux

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
This study reveals how the mitochondrial protein Slm35 is regulated in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. The authors identify stress‐responsive DNA elements and two upstream open reading frames (uORFs) in the 5′ untranslated region of SLM35. One uORF restricts translation, and its mutation increases Slm35 protein levels and mitophagy.
