Experiences of metastatic prostate cancer patients with a mainstream genetic testing pathway. [PDF]
What's new? Germline genetic testing can direct cancer patients towards more optimal treatment options and relatives towards targeted cancer screening or preventive measures. In the case of prostate cancer, many patients are eligible for such testing, though little is known about its psychosocial impacts.

Individual-Based Models Reveal Population Recovery and Impacts of Woodland Creation on Pine Martens (<i>Martes martes</i>) in Britain. [PDF]
We used a calibrated individual‐based model to explore the reintroduction of pine martens to Britain and whether woodland creation can be targeted to improve pine marten dispersal. We find that the reintroduction programme is successful into the near future, even if it does not appear to form a single unified population.

Detecting Convergence of Amino Acid Physicochemical Properties Underlying the Organismal Adaptive Convergent Evolution. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Many studies have proposed various comparative genomic methods to probe the molecular basis for adaptive functional convergence between species, conventionally by detecting the convergence of amino acid states between orthologous protein sequences of these species or lineages.

Integrative multi-omics approaches identify molecular pathways and improve Alzheimer's disease risk prediction. [PDF]
Abstract INTRODUCTION Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a complex neurodegenerative disorder with heterogeneous genetic and molecular underpinnings. Polygenic scores (PGS) capture little of this complexity. METHODS We conducted genome‐, transcriptome‐, and proteome‐wide association studies (G/T/PWAS) on 15,480 individuals from the Alzheimer's Disease ...

An alternative approach to ideal Wijsman convergence
Summary: The concept of Wijsman convergence of a sequence of sets was defined using the pointwise convergence of the sequence of distance functions. Based on this idea, in this article, a new type of set convergence is obtained by using the concept of ideal \(\alpha\)-convergence for the sequence of distance functions.

How do microtine rodent abundance, snow and landscape parameters influence pine marten Martes martes population dynamics? [PDF]
We found that pine marten populations were directly density dependent in Hedmark, Norway. Additionally, pine marten abundance was positively correlated with a microtine rodent abundance index, elevation, snow depth and mature spruce forests. Their annual population growth rate was positively influenced by the interaction between the microtine rodent ...

LD-informed deep learning for Alzheimer's gene loci detection using WGS data. [PDF]
Abstract INTRODUCTION The exponential growth of genomic datasets necessitates advanced analytical tools to effectively identify genetic loci from large‐scale high throughput sequencing data. This study presents Deep‐Block, a multi‐stage deep learning framework that incorporates biological knowledge into its AI architecture to identify genetic regions ...

Midkine promotes PDGF-BB-induced proliferation, migration, and glycolysis of airway smooth muscle cells via the PI3K Akt pathway. [PDF]
Abstract Airway smooth muscle cell (ASMC) dysfunction drives airway remodeling in asthma, yet the molecular mediators remain incompletely defined. Midkine, a pleiotropic growth factor, has emerged as a potential regulator of inflammatory and proliferative responses.

Lacunary ℐ-Invariant Convergence of Sequence of Sets in Intuitionistic Fuzzy Metric Spaces
The concepts of invariant convergence, invariant statistical convergence, lacunary invariant convergence, and lacunary invariant statistical convergence for set sequences were introduced by Pancaroğlu and Nuray (2013).

ON THE STATISTICAL CONVERGENCE OF NESTED SEQUENCES OF SETS
In this paper, we show that Wijsman convergence and statistical Wijsman convergence are equivalent to each other if we choose the sequences of sets as monotone.
