A Human‐Based Skin‐Lymphoreticular Model‐on‐Chip to Emulate Inflammatory Skin Conditions
Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.A human‐based lymphoreticular (LR) model was developed through guided self‐assembly and integrated in a skin‐lymphoreticular co‐culture in a microfluidic organ‐on‐chip to mimic interactions between skin and its draining lymph nodes. The human‐based skin‐lymphoreticular model resembles a minimally functional unit that allows to study interactions ...

Bimodal and Multimodal Extensions of the Normal and Skew Normal Distributions
Revstat Statistical JournalA transformation of a density function is introduced to derive two families of continuous densities, the first symmetric and the second not-necessarily symmetric, exhibiting both unimodality and bimodality.

Kimball's prudence and two-fund separation as determinants of mutual fund performance evaluation [PDF]
We consider investors with mean-variance-skewness preferences who aim at selecting one out of F different funds and combining it optimally with the riskless asset and direct stock holdings.

Peptomer Linkers Enable Kinetic Control over Co‐Delivery of Multiple Chemotherapeutics
Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.A key challenge in combinatorial chemotherapeutic drug delivery is independent control over release kinetics, especially with drugs of similar size and structure. Here, peptoid substitutions to proteolytically degradable peptides enabled the design of fast and slow‐releasing drug linkers.

A new Beta distribution with interdisciplinary data analysis
AIMS MathematicsSeveral families of Beta distributions, such as Beta of the first kind, Beta of the second kind, and Beta of the third kind, have been proposed in the literature for modeling random phenomena.

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.xx xx. ABSTRACT Osseointegration of orthopedic and dental implants is influenced by local and systemic factors, including their physicochemical surface properties and the patient's overall health status. Titanium and its alloys have been a longstanding standard for bone implants due to their innate biocompatibility and mechanical properties.

A Skewed GARCH-in-Mean Model: An Application to U.S. Stock Returns [PDF]
In this paper we consider a GARCH-in-Mean (GARCH-M) model based on the so-called z distribution. This distribution is capable of modeling moderate skewness and kurtosis typically encountered in financial return series, and the need to allow for skewness ...

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.Detecting proteins secreted by a single cell while retaining its viability remains challenging. A particles‐in‐particle (PiPs) system made by co‐encapsulating barcoded microparticles (BMPs) with a single cell inside an alginate hydrogel particle is introduced.

Moment characterization of higher-order risk preferences [PDF]
It is often said that prudence and temperance play key roles in aversion to negative skewness and kurtosis, respectively. This paper puts a new perspective on these relationships and presents a characterization of higher-order risk preferences in terms ...
