Severe, but not moderate asthmatics share blood transcriptomic changes with post-traumatic stress disorder and depression. by Sandor Haas-Neill, Anna Dvorkin-Gheva, Paul Forsythe

“…We performed differential expression (DE) analysis and Gene Set Enrichment Analysis (GSEA) on diseased subjects against the healthy subjects from their respective datasets, compared the results between diseases, and validated DE genes and gene sets with 4 more independent datasets. Our analysis revealed that commonalities in blood transcriptomic changes were only found between the severe form of asthma and mood disorders. …”

Interplay between Epigenetics and Genetics in Cancer by Jae Duk Choi, Jong-Soo Lee

“…Genomic instability, which occurs through both genetic mechanisms (underlying inheritable phenotypic variations caused by DNA sequence-dependent alterations, such as mutation, deletion, insertion, inversion, translocation, and chromosomal aneuploidy) and epigenomic aberrations (underlying inheritable phenotypic variations caused by DNA sequence-independent alterations caused by a change of chromatin structure, such as DNA methylation and histone modifications), is known to promote tumorigenesis and tumor progression. …”

Pseudo-Random Number Generators for Stochastic Computing (SC): Design and Analysis by Pilin Junsangsri, Fabrizio Lombardi

“…In most nanoscale stochastic computing designs, the Stochastic Number Generator (SNG) circuit is complex and occupies a significant area because each copy of a stochastic variable requires its own dedicated (and independent) stochastic number generator. This article introduces a novel approach for pseudo-random number generators (RNGs) to be used in SNGs. …”

Polysaccharide Hydrogel-Assisted Biosensing Platforms for Point-of-Care Use by Sang-Uk Kim, Young Jun Kim, Tae Hee Lee

“…We first discuss the pros and cons of polysaccharide hydrogels in practical applications and then introduce case studies that test different formats, such as paper-based analytical devices (PADs), microfluidic devices, and independent platforms. We believe the analysis in the present review provides essential information for the development of biosensing platforms for POC use in resource-limited settings.…”
