Microbiome‐blood–brain barrier interactions in aging — mechanisms and therapeutic potential
Aging reshapes the gut microbiome (↓SCFA‐producing commensals; ↑pro‐inflammatory outputs), shifting circulating metabolites (↓SCFAs; ↑LPS, ↑TMAO, ↑PAA) that act at the BBB to increase nonspecific transcytosis, alter transport, and promote astrocyte reactivity, heightening brain vulnerability.

A systematic survey of randomised trials that stopped early for reasons of futility
Background Randomised trial protocols may incorporate interim analyses, with the potential to stop the study for futility if early data show insufficient promise of a treatment benefit. Previously, we have shown that this approach will theoretically lead

Machine learning methods for fission product identification from Bragg curves
A fission time projection chamber (fission-TPC) was developed to provide precise neutron-induced fission measurements for several major actinides. As fission fragments lose energy in one of the gas volumes of the fission-TPC, energy loss information is ...

Peripheral lysosomes recruit PLEKHG3 to focal adhesions and restrain protrusion dynamics
Proximity‐dependent labeling at the LAMTOR complex revealed the Rho GEF PLEKHG3 as a lysosome‐proximal protein directing the study toward the influence of lysosome positioning on actin dynamics and cell motility. We show that PLEKHG3 colocalizes with lysosomes at focal adhesion sites and observe that forced peripheral dispersion of lysosomes hinders ...

Liver organoids: modelling complexity in homeostasis and disease
Studying liver in vitro has been challenging because simple 2D cell cultures fail to capture liver's cellular and architectural complexity. To bridge this gap, scientists increasingly use organoids, 3D liver models which better mimic liver composition and function. This review examines recent advances in liver organoid complexity and realism, discusses

Stopping games: recent results [PDF]
We survey recent results on the existence of the value in zero-sum stopping games with discrete and continuous time, and on the existence of e-equilibria in non zero-sum games with discrete time.stopping games; stochastic games ...

Ligand‐dependent transcriptional heterogeneity in cell cycle gene expression delays G1/S entry
EGF and HRG induce distinct G1/S progression programs in ErbB2‐amplified BT474 breast cancer cells. Despite activating the potent ErbB2–ErbB3 heterodimer, HRG does not accelerate cell‐cycle entry. Instead, EGF promotes earlier restriction‐point passage via ERK–FOS signaling, whereas HRG activates the AKT–MYC axis, driving transcriptional heterogeneity ...

Belief Propagation Decoder With Multiple Bit-Flipping Sets and Stopping Criteria for Polar Codes
Compared with successive cancellation list (SCL) decoders, belief propagation (BP)-based decoders suffer performance loss in middle-and high-signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) regions.

Legal regulation of the international road transport of passengers [PDF]
Since March 2013 bus and coach passengers have a minimum set of rights when travelling in the European Union. Regulation 181/2011 concerning the rights of passengers in bus and coach transport applies to passengers traveling with regular services that ...

The utility of STOP-BANG questionnaire in the sleep-lab setting [PDF]
AbstractPolysomnography (PSG) is considered the gold standard in obstructive sleep apnea-hypopnea syndrome (OSAS) diagnostics, but its availability is still limited. Thus, it seems useful to assess patients pre-diagnostic risk for OSAS to prioritize the use of this examination.
