Scalable Secure Privacy-Preserving Record Linkage (PPRL) Methods Using Cloud-based Infrastructure

International Journal of Population Data Science, 2018
Introduction Bloom Filters (BFs) are a scalable solution for probabilistic privacy-preserving record linkage but BFs can be compromised. Yao’s garbled circuits (GCs) can perform secure multi-party computation to compute the similarity of two BFs without ...

Artificial molecular machines and motors—Design and control of nanoscale motion

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Molecules are constantly moving because of thermal fluctuations, but random motion alone cannot be exploited to perform directional tasks. Artificial molecular machines use chemical, electrical, or light energy to bias this motion. Molecular shuttles, rotary motors, and supramolecular pumps illustrate how nanoscale movement can be controlled and ...

A fast supervised density-based discretization algorithm for classification tasks in the medical domain

Health Informatics Journal, 2022
Discretization is a preprocessing technique used for converting continuous features into categorical. This step is essential for processing algorithms that cannot handle continuous data as input.

Cyclic azapeptide CD36 ligand attenuates cardiac injury and reduces long‐chain fatty acid accumulation after myocardial ischemia–reperfusion in mice

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
In a murine model of myocardial ischemia and reperfusion (MI/R), the CD36 azapeptide ligand MPE‐298 reduces cardiac injury and transiently lowers left ventricular long‐chain fatty acids (LCFAs) accumulation 3 h after reperfusion, accompanied by a decrease of oxidative stress and inflammation‐associated genes' expression in the heart and adipose tissue.

Design Principles for Deployable Fibers Inspired by Hagfish Defense

Advanced Science
Hagfish produce extraordinary slime as a defense mechanism, releasing exudate from glands that rapidly form a fibrous, soft, ultra‐dilute, water‐capturing network upon contact with seawater (up to 10 000 times its original volume). The gland thread cell (

In silico and in vitro exploration of a tyrosinase for biocatalytic production of catechols

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Tyrosinase from Ralstonia pseudosolanacearum is a promising biocatalyst for producing valuable catechols from monophenol substrates. This tyrosinase is uniquely suited to this due to its high monophenolase : diphenolase ratio. We combined in silico docking and in vivo kinetic characterisation of this tyrosinase with 11 industrially relevant monophenols,

Structural and biochemical insights into the thermostable esterase Ta0887 from Thermoplasma acidophilum

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
In this study, a novel esterase from the thermoacidophilic archaeon Thermoplasma acidophilum was biochemically and structurally characterized. Our results demonstrate that Ta0887 is a highly thermostable esterase that preferentially hydrolyzes p‐nitrophenyl hexanoate and possesses an α‐helical cap domain that likely contributes to its substrate ...
