Co‐expression of HSV‐1 ICP34.5 enhances the expression of gene delivered by self‐amplifying RNA and mitigates its immunogenicity

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
ICP34.5 is one of the most important antihost response proteins. The saRNA‐encoding HSV‐1 neurovirulence protein ICP34.5 clearly mediated the eukaryotic initiation factor 2 alpha subunit (eIF2α) dephosphorylation and significant suppression of innate immune responses in vitro, leading to enhanced expression of the saRNA‐encoded gene.

Profiling the effect of low frequency mechanical vibration on the metabolic and oxidative stress responses of A431 carcinoma

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
20 Hz mechanical vibration induced A431 cancer cells' apoptosis without such effect on other healthy cell lines of L929 and C2C12. Lowered glucose consumption is observed specifically in A431. The expressions of ROS, HMGB1, and HSP1 levels initially increase and subsequently decrease in the cancer cell line, as opposed to L929 and C2C12, which ...

Evaluating feature extraction reproducibility across image biomarker standardization initiative‐compliant radiomics platforms using a digital phantom

Journal of Applied Clinical Medical Physics, EarlyView.
Abstract Background The aim of this study was to thoroughly analyze the reproducibility of radiomics feature extraction across three Image Biomarker Standardization Initiative (IBSI)‐compliant platforms using a digital phantom for benchmarking. It uncovers high consistency among common features while also pointing out the necessity for standardization ...

The edge visualization metric: Quantifying the improvement of lung SBRT target definition with 4D CBCT

Journal of Applied Clinical Medical Physics, EarlyView.
Abstract Purpose Four‐dimensional cone‐beam CT (4D CBCT) incorporates oversampling of 3D data to reconstruct multi‐phase CBCT data sets representing distinct phases of the breathing cycle based on a diaphragmatic correlate of respiratory motion. Motion artifacts and blurring can be reduced relative to three‐dimensional cone‐beam (3D CBCT), allowing ...

Mitochondrial DNA disorders in neuromuscular diseases in diverse populations

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
Abstract Neuromuscular features are common in mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) disorders. The genetic architecture of mtDNA disorders in diverse populations is poorly understood. We analysed mtDNA variants from whole‐exome sequencing data in neuromuscular patients from South Africa, Brazil, India, Turkey and Zambia. In 998 individuals, there were two definite
