Publication bias is bad for science if not necessarily scientists

Royal Society Open Science
It might seem obvious that the scientific process should not be biased. We strive for reliable inference, and systematically skewing the results of inquiry apparently conflicts with this.

RHPMAN: Replication in Highly Partitioned Mobile Ad Hoc Networks

International Journal of Distributed Sensor Networks, 2014
Accessing data in mobile ad hoc networks is a challenging problem, which is caused by frequent network partitions due to node mobility and due to the impairments of wireless communications.

Enteropathogenic E. coli shows delayed attachment and host response in human jejunum organoid‐derived monolayers compared to HeLa cells

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Enteropathogenic E. coli (EPEC) infects the human intestinal epithelium, resulting in severe illness and diarrhoea. In this study, we compared the infection of cancer‐derived cell lines with human organoid‐derived models of the small intestine. We observed a delayed in attachment, inflammation and cell death on primary cells, indicating that host ...

Mendelian randomization study shows a causal effect of asthma on epilepsy risk

Frontiers in Immunology, 2023
ObjectiveThe relationship between asthma and epilepsy in observational studies is controversial. The purpose of this Mendelian randomization (MR) study is to investigate whether asthma causally contributes to epilepsy susceptibility.MethodsIndependent ...

4‐nitrobenzoate inhibits 4‐hydroxybenzoate polyprenyltransferase in malaria parasites and enhances atovaquone efficacy

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Atovaquone is an antimalarial requiring potentiation for sufficient efficacy. We pursued strategies to enhance its activity, showing that 4‐nitrobenzoate inhibits 4‐hydroxybenzoate polyprenyltransferase, decreasing ubiquinone biosynthesis. Since atovaquone competes with ubiquinol in mitochondria, 4‐nitrobenzoate facilitates its action, potentiating ...

Revisiting the Replication Crisis and the Untrustworthiness of Empirical Evidence

Stats
The current replication crisis relating to the non-replicability and the untrustworthiness of published empirical evidence is often viewed through the lens of the Positive Predictive Value (PPV) in the context of the Medical Diagnostic Screening (MDS ...

Rad27/FEN1 prevents accumulation of Okazaki fragments and ribosomal DNA copy number changes

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
The budding yeast Rad27 is a structure‐specific endonuclease. Here, the authors reveal that Rad27 is crucial for maintaining the stability of the ribosomal RNA gene (rDNA) region. Rad27 deficiency leads to the accumulation of Okazaki fragments and changes in rDNA copy number.

Mitochondrial fatty acid oxidation is stimulated by red light irradiation

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Light at different wavelengths has distinct effects on keratinocyte viability and metabolism. UVA light abrogates metabolic fluxes. Blue and green light have no effect on metabolic fluxes, while red light enhanced oxidative phosphorylation by promoting fatty acid oxidation. Keratinocytes are the primary constituents of sunlight‐exposed epidermis.

ViralPlaque: a Fiji macro for automated assessment of viral plaque statistics

PeerJ, 2019
Plaque assay has been used for a long time to determine infectious titers and characterize prokaryotic and eukaryotic viruses forming plaques. Indeed, plaque morphology and dimensions can provide information regarding the replication kinetics and the ...

An intracellular transporter mitigates the CO2‐induced decline in iron content in Arabidopsis shoots

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
This study identifies a gene encoding a transmembrane protein, MIC, which contributes to the reduction of shoot Fe content observed in plants under elevated CO2. MIC is a putative Fe transporter localized to the Golgi and endosomal compartments. Its post‐translational regulation in roots may represent a potential target for improving plant nutrition ...
