A multiscale functional map of somatic mutations in cancer integrating protein structure and network topology by Yingying Zhang, Alden K. Leung, Jin Joo Kang, Yu Sun, Guanxi Wu, Le Li, Jiayang Sun, Lily Cheng, Tian Qiu, Junke Zhang, Shayne D. Wierbowski, Shagun Gupta, James G. Booth, Haiyuan Yu

“…We present NetFlow3D, a unified, end-to-end 3D structurally-informed protein interaction network propagation framework that maps the multiscale mechanistic effects of mutations. Built upon the Human Protein Structurome, which incorporates the 3D structures of every protein and the binding interfaces of all known protein interactions, NetFlow3D integrates atomic, residue, protein and network-level information: It clusters mutations on 3D protein structures to identify driver mutations and propagates their impacts anisotropically across the protein interaction network, guided by the involved interaction interfaces, to reveal systems-level impacts. …”

Deafferentation-Induced Plasticity of Visual Callosal Connections: Predicting Critical Periods and Analyzing Cortical Abnormalities Using Diffusion Tensor Imaging by Jaime F. Olavarria, Andrew S. Bock, Lindsey A. Leigland, Christopher D. Kroenke

“…We observed that the relationship between the timing of the critical period and the DTI-characterized developmental trajectory is strikingly similar in rodents and ferrets, which opens the possibility of using cortical DTI trajectories for predicting the critical period in species, such as humans, in which this period likely occurs prenatally. …”

The Solid Phase Distribution and Bioaccessibility of Arsenic, Chromium, and Nickel in Natural Ironstone Soils in the UK by Joanna Wragg, Mark Cave, Sean Gregory

“…The study showed that whilst total concentrations of As, Cr, and Ni are elevated due to the soil parent material, the bioaccessibility test showed that only a small proportion of the total concentration is available for absorption into the human body (<15%). The sequential extraction test showed that the nonmobile forms of the elements are strongly sorbed on to iron oxides. …”
