Crosstalk between gut microbiota and tumor: tumors could cause gut dysbiosis and metabolic imbalance

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
In this research, we analyzed the relationship between gut microbiota and tumor. We discovered that both subcutaneous and metastatic tumors would alter the composition and metabolic function of gut microbiota. Meanwhile, fecal microbiota transplantation also indicated the anti‐tumor role of the gut microbiota, revealing the crosstalk between tumor and ...

Computers from plants we never made. Speculations [PDF]

arXiv, 2017
We discuss possible designs and prototypes of computing systems that could be based on morphological development of roots, interaction of roots, and analog electrical computation with plants, and plant-derived electronic components. In morphological plant processors data are represented by initial configuration of roots and configurations of sources of

Introducing Genetically Modified Plants: Now or Later - An Option Value Approach [PDF]

Using market data, we have estimated the quasi option value of delaying to grow genetically modified corn and soybeans in Europe. We find that the current quasi option value of growing genetically modified soybeans and corn in Europe is high.

The war between nature & science continues [PDF]

, 2015
Genetically modified (GM) plants are a growing science in the Midwest. Corn and other items commonly found in your local produce section are being genetically modified to withstand droughts, floods, and insects/insecticides.

Integrative analysis of circulating tumor cells (CTCs) and exosomes from small‐cell lung cancer (SCLC) patients: a comprehensive approach

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
This study simultaneously investigated circulating tumor cells (CTCs) and exosomes from small‐cell lung cancer (SCLC) patients. The elevated expression of JUNB and CXCR4 in CTCs was a poor prognostic factor for SCLC patients, whereas exosomal overexpression of these biomarkers revealed a high discrimination ability of patients from healthy individuals,

Fixed-Parameter Tractability of the (1+1) Evolutionary Algorithm on Random Planted Vertex Covers [PDF]

Proceedings of the 17th ACM/SIGEVO Conference on Foundations of Genetic Algorithms (FOGA 2023)
We present the first parameterized analysis of a standard (1+1) Evolutionary Algorithm on a distribution of vertex cover problems. We show that if the planted cover is at most logarithmic, restarting the (1+1) EA every $O(n \log n)$ steps will find a cover at least as small as the planted cover in polynomial time for sufficiently dense random graphs $p

Defying Nature: The Ethical Implications of Genetically Modified Plants [PDF]

, 2021
Genetic engineering is changing the semantics, the meaning of life itself. We\u27re trying to usurp the plant\u27s choice. To force alien words into the plant\u27s poem, but we [have] a problem. We barely know the root language.

Inhibition of acyl‐CoA synthetase long‐chain isozymes decreases multiple myeloma cell proliferation and causes mitochondrial dysfunction

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Triacsin C inhibition of the acyl‐CoA synthetase long chain (ACSL) family decreases multiple myeloma cell survival, proliferation, mitochondrial respiration, and membrane potential. Made with Biorender.com. Multiple myeloma (MM) is an incurable cancer of plasma cells with a 5‐year survival rate of 59%.

Cell‐free DNA aneuploidy score as a dynamic early response marker in prostate cancer

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
mFast‐SeqS‐based genome‐wide aneuploidy scores are concordant with aneuploidy scores obtained by whole genome sequencing from tumor tissue and can predict response to ARSI treatment at baseline and, at an early time point, to ARSI and taxanes. This assay can be easily performed at low cost and requires little input of cfDNA. Cell‐free circulating tumor

Guidance on the agronomic and phenotypic characterisation of genetically modified plants

EFSA Journal, 2015
This document provides guidance for the agronomic and phenotypic characterisation of genetically modified (GM) plants and clarifies the EFSA GMO Panel's view on how agronomic and phenotypic data support the risk assessment of GM plants.
