Effects of Hypoxia in Intestinal Tumors on Immune Cell Behavior in the Tumor Microenvironment
Frontiers in Immunology, 2021 BackgroundImbalanced nutritional supply and demand in the tumor microenvironment often leads to hypoxia. The subtle interaction between hypoxia and immune cell behavior plays an important role in tumor occurrence and development.

An examination of bank risk measures and their relationship to systemic risk measurement : a dissertation presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctoral of Philosophy in Finance at Massey University, Manawatu (Turitea), New Zealand [PDF]
, 2018 This research explores ways of measuring bank risk, both individual bank risk and systemic risk, with the main focus on z-score. Z-score is a popular indicator of individual bank risk-taking.

Polygenic Risk Scores and Physical Activity [PDF]
Medicine & Science in Sports & Exercise, 2020 ABSTRACT Purpose Polygenic risk scores (PRS) summarize genome-wide genotype data into a single variable that produces an individual-level risk score for genetic liability. PRS has been used for prediction of chronic diseases and some risk factors. As PRS has been studied less for physical activity (PA), we constructed

Population Ecology, EarlyView.Population size and dynamics fundamentally shape speciation by influencing genetic drift, founder events, and adaptive potential. Small populations may speciate rapidly due to stronger drift, whereas large populations harbor more genetic diversity, which can alter divergence trajectories. We highlight theoretical models that incorporate population size

An Immune Gene-Related Five-lncRNA Signature for to Predict Glioma Prognosis
Frontiers in Genetics, 2020 BackgroundThe tumor immune microenvironment is closely related to the malignant progression and treatment resistance of glioma. Long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) plays a regulatory role in this process.
