Degradation mechanism of the von Willebrand factor A2 domain by nattokinase

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Nattokinase, a natto‐derived protease, exhibits potent antithrombotic effects. This study demonstrates that nattokinase directly cleaves the von Willebrand factor (vWF) A2 domain in vitro. Unlike the native regulator ADAMTS13, nattokinase degrades folded vWF independently of shear stress.

Improved Density and Distribution Function Estimation

open access: yes, 2018
Given additional distributional information in the form of moment restrictions, kernel density and distribution function estimators with implied generalised empirical likelihood probabilities as weights achieve a reduction in variance due to the ...

Transcriptional network analysis of PTEN‐protein‐deficient prostate tumors reveals robust stromal reprogramming and signs of senescent paracrine communication

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Combining PTEN protein assessment and transcriptomic profiling of prostate tumors, we uncovered a network enriched in senescence and extracellular matrix (ECM) programs associated with PTEN loss and conserved in a mouse model. We show that PTEN‐deficient cells trigger paracrine remodeling of the surrounding stroma and this information could help ...

NON-PARAMETRIC MANN-KENDALL AND SEN’S SLOPE ESTIMATE AS A METHOD FOR DETECTING TREND WITHIN HYDRO-METEOROLOGICAL TIME SERIES: A REVIEW

open access: yesAcademy Journal of Science and Engineering, 2023
Climate and water resources are interconnected in a complex way such that a change in any one induces a change in another. Trend analysis is usually employed while assessing the long-term impact of climate variability on the environment, particularly ...

Model Adequacy Checks for Discrete Choice Dynamic Models [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
This paper proposes new parametric model adequacy tests for possibly nonlinear and nonstationary time series models with noncontinuous data distribution, which is often the case in applied work.

Potential therapeutic targeting of BKCa channels in glioblastoma treatment

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, EarlyView.
This review summarizes current insights into the role of BKCa and mitoBKCa channels in glioblastoma biology, their potential classification as oncochannels, and the emerging pharmacological strategies targeting these channels, emphasizing the translational challenges in developing BKCa‐directed therapies for glioblastoma treatment.

Experimental Comparisons of Metaheuristic Algorithms in Solving Combined Economic Emission Dispatch Problem Using Parametric and Non-Parametric Tests

open access: yesApplied Artificial Intelligence, 2018
In this paper, the parametric and non-parametric statistical tests are applied for comparisons of metaheuristic algorithms’ (MAs) behavior in solving Combined Economic Emission Dispatch (CEED) problem. In the last years, in many published papers, a large

PARP inhibition and pharmacological ascorbate demonstrate synergy in castration‐resistant prostate cancer

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Pharmacologic ascorbate (vitamin C) increases ROS, disrupts cellular metabolism, and induces DNA damage in CRPC cells. These effects sensitize tumors to PARP inhibition, producing synergistic growth suppression with olaparib in vitro and significantly delayed tumor progression in vivo. Pyruvate rescue confirms ROS‐dependent activity.

Non-Parametric Goodness-of-Fit Tests Using Tsallis Entropy Measures

open access: yesEntropy
We develop goodness-of-fit (GOF) procedures rooted in Tsallis entropy, with a particular emphasis on multivariate exponential-power (generalized Gaussian) and q-Gaussian models. The GOF statistic compares a closed-form Tsallis entropy under the null with
