Avidin is evolutionarily conserved in fish but dispensable for development and resistance against Streptococcus agalactiae in zebrafish

open access: yesFEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
The presence of biotin‐binding avidin proteins in fish and their biological significance are poorly characterized. We cataloged fish avidins and demonstrate that they are widely present and evolutionarily conserved. We created avd knockout zebrafish and show that zebavidin is dispensable for development and that resistance of avd knockout embryos in ...

Inequalities for the ruin probability in a controlled discrete-time risk process [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
Ruin probabilities in a controlled discrete-time risk process with a Markov chain interest are studied. To reduce the risk there is a possibility to reinsure a part or the whole reserve. Recursive and integral equations for ruin probabilities are given.

Application of Gegenbauer Polynomials with Two Variables to Bi-univalency of Generalized Discrete Probability Distribution Via Zero-Truncated Poisson Distribution Series [PDF]

open access: yesSahand Communications in Mathematical Analysis
The present study is unique in exploring bi-univalent functions, which has recently garnered attention from many researchers in Geometric Function Theory (GFT).

Salmonella enterica serovar typhi limits the potency of typhoid toxin and ADP‐ribosylating toxin AB to establish a persistent infection

open access: yesFEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
The two catalytic subunits of typhoid toxin dissociate from the holotoxin in the ER of an intoxicated cell, but only CdtB exits the ER to generate immunosuppressive effects. PltA is retained in the ER and sequestered from its cytosolic target, thus allowing the anti‐inflammatory effects of CdtB to promote intestinal colonization.

A limit theorem for the time of ruin in a Gaussian ruin problem [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
For certain Gaussian processes X(t) with trend −ctβ and variance V2(t), the ruin time is analyzed where the ruin time is defined as the first time point t such that X(t)−ctβ≥u. The ruin time is of interest in finance and actuarial subjects.

Recent insights into the molecular mechanism of ubiquinol oxidation by cytochrome bc1

open access: yesFEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
The review reflects on the mechanism of the catalytic reaction in cytochrome bc1: the electron bifurcation that involves the separation of two electrons derived from the quinol oxidation to opposite sides of the enzyme across the membrane. This review summarizes the long‐standing effort to understand the mechanism of quinol oxidation catalyzed by ...

Chronobiology of Cancer: How Aging Fuels Oncogenesis at the Molecular Level

open access: yesAging and Cancer, EarlyView.
This graphical abstract illustrates the key biological pathways linking aging with cancer development and progression. In the upper left, cumulative exposure to ultraviolet radiation, toxins, and reactive oxygen species (ROS) causes DNA damage and genomic instability, whereas age‐related decline in repair mechanisms, such as ATM/ATR, BER, and NER ...

Elementary Bounds on the Ruin Capital in a Diffusion Model of Risk

open access: yesRisks, 2014
In a diffusion model of risk, we focus on the initial capital needed to make the probability of ruin within finite time equal to a prescribed value. It is defined as a solution of a nonlinear equation.

Spatial and Volumetric Characteristics of Glioblastoma: Associations With Clinical Presentation and Survival

open access: yesAnnals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective We aim to comprehensively analyze how regional tumor and edema characteristics are associated with clinical presentations and survival outcomes in a large cohort of glioblastoma patients. Methods Patients with IDH‐wildtype glioblastoma who received brain MRI from 2010 to 2023 were included.
