Unveiling new disease, pathway, and gene associations via multi-scale neural networks [PDF]

PLOS ONE, 15(4), p.e0231059 (2020), 2019
Diseases involve complex processes and modifications to the cellular machinery. The gene expression profile of the affected cells contains characteristic patterns linked to a disease. Hence, biological knowledge pertaining to a disease can be derived from a patient cell's profile, improving our diagnosis ability, as well as our grasp of disease risks ...

Human Tick-Borne Diseases in Australia [PDF]

Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2019
There are 17 human-biting ticks known in Australia. The bites of Ixodes holocyclus, Ornithodoros capensis, and Ornithodoros gurneyi can cause paralysis, inflammation, and severe local and systemic reactions in humans, respectively. Six ticks, including Amblyomma triguttatum, Bothriocroton hydrosauri, Haemaphysalis novaeguineae, Ixodes cornuatus, Ixodes

The role of mutation rate variation and genetic diversity in the architecture of human disease [PDF]

, 2013
We have investigated the role that the mutation rate and the structure of genetic variation at a locus play in determining whether a gene is involved in disease. We predict that the mutation rate and its genetic diversity should be higher in genes associated with disease, unless all genes that could cause disease have already been identified ...

Distribution of tick-borne diseases in China [PDF]

Parasites & Vectors, 2013
Abstract As an important contributor to vector-borne diseases in China, in recent years, tick-borne diseases have attracted much attention because of their increasing incidence and consequent significant harm to livestock and human health. The most commonly observed human tick-borne diseases in China include Lyme borreliosis (known as Lyme ...

Integrated energy conversion units in nanoscale frameworks induce sustained generation and amplified lethality of singlet oxygen in oxidative therapy of tumor

VIEW, Volume 3, Issue 6, December 2022., 2022
A nanoscale cascade system is fabricated by Fenton‐like catalysts, chemiluminescence reagents, and porphyrin derivatives. The complementary cascade can regulate the consumption of the substrate and sustainably generate 1O2 through energy conversion. Meanwhile, the catalase‐like catalytic activities can further realize O2 self‐sufficiency.
