Building phenotypic character matrices for phylogenetic inference: exploration of 35 years of practice

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Recent methodological development in phylogenetic inference has focused predominantly on molecular data. However, renewed interest in other data types, particularly morphological data, has followed from the increased recognition of the power of total evidence and tip‐dating approaches, including fossil data, for inference of time‐scaled trees ...

Orchard netting impacts on biodiversity leading to cascading effects at the ecosystem level

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Agriculture must ensure food production without further compromising the ecosystem functions upon which it depends. Agricultural practices should therefore avoid harming farmland biodiversity, especially of taxa that supply the key ecosystem services (e.g.

Virologic response at week 8 of combined treatment as a predictor of sustained virologic response in non rapid virologic response, chronic HCV genotype 4 infected patients

Egyptian Journal of Medical Human Genetics, 2012
Optimization of interferon-based treatment regimens remains an important goal as pegylated interferon is likely to remain the backbone of chronic HCV treatment in the foreseeable future. The objective of the current study was to evaluate virological response at week 8 of combined treatment as a predictor of sustained virologic response (SVR) in non ...

Animal empathy reconsidered: a multidimensional profile account

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Empathy is the glue that holds societies together and yet several fundamental questions about empathy persist. What is empathy (the definitional question)? Is it uniquely human and, if not, which nonhuman animals possess empathy (the distribution question)? Which type or quality of empathy is realized in different species (the quality question)

Protein hydrolysates in cell culture: Toward multi‐omics characterization

Biotechnology Progress, EarlyView.
While protein hydrolysates are widely used in cell culture applications, they remain undefined and variable products. Multi‐omic characterization evaluating composition and function can transition hydrolysates toward semi‐defined media components.

Mixed cryoglobulinemia decelerates hepatocellular carcinoma development in hepatitis C patients with SVR by downregulating regulatory B cells: a 12-year prospective cohort study

OncoImmunology
How mixed cryoglobulinemia (MC) affects cancer risk in chronic hepatitis C patients with sustained virologic response (SVR) remains unclear. In a 12-year prospective study, post-SVR MC was assessed every 3‒6 months. Among the 891 SVR patients, 265 (29.7%)

Multivariate phase‐dependent optimization of bioprocesses boosts performance and quality—Why timing (of exposure) matters

Biotechnology Progress, EarlyView.
Abstract Applying a single parameter set to describe complex mammalian kinetics often is too simplistic, as it fails to capture sensitive cell‐to‐environment interactions that may be exploited to optimize production performance. To resolve this time dependency, intra‐experimental parameter shifts as part of design of dynamic experiments (DoDE) can be ...

β‐1,4‐galactosyltransferase 1 inhibitors modulate cellular N‐glycan profiles

Biotechnology Progress, EarlyView.
Graphical representation of the study workflow used to investigate the effects of known in vitro galactosyltransferase inhibitors on cell culture performance and recombinant IgG galactosylation. Abstract N‐glycosylation is a key post‐translational modification of proteins influencing their physicochemical properties as well as biological activity. This

Status and future of recombinant adeno‐associated virus vector manufacturing

Biotechnology Progress, EarlyView.
Abstract Sixty years of adeno‐associated virus (AAV) research illustrates a trajectory marked by basic science exploration, iterative innovation, persistent challenges, a number of clinical setbacks, as well as commercial therapeutic triumphs. This continual evolution has led to recombinant AAV (rAAV) becoming a cornerstone of modern gene therapy ...
