Quantifying observer variance in expansive monitoring program indicator data with heterogeneous-variance mixed-effects models by Leah T. Dreesmann, Timothy R. Johnson, Jason W. Karl

“…In two example analyses, we identified differences in observer variance across regions and years and associated the differences in these examples with features of the AIM monitoring program. These examples illustrate several potential uses of the models which include calculating the magnitude of observer variance to guide indicator selection and appropriate indicator estimate calculations, determining appropriate data aggregation and comparison, understanding the influences of changes to a monitoring program on observer variance, identifying previously unknown influences on observer variance, and suggesting practices or further changes to monitoring programs to reduce observer variance in future data collection efforts. …”

TEAD1‐Mediated Trans‐Differentiation of Vascular Smooth Muscle Cells into Fibroblast‐Like Cells Contributes to the Stabilization and Repair of Disrupted Atherosclerotic Plaques... by Ming Zhai, Zhijun Lei, Yefei Shi, Jiayun Shi, Yanxi Zeng, Shiyu Gong, Weixia Jian, Jianhui Zhuang, Qing Yu, Mark W. Feinberg, Wenhui Peng

“…Mechanistically, it is found that TEAD1 promoted the expression of fibroblast markers through the Wnt4/β‐Catenin pathway, facilitating the trans‐differentiation. Thus, this study illustrated that TEAD1 played a critical role in promoting the trans‐differentiation of VSMCs into fibroblast‐like cells and subsequent extracellular matrix production through the Wnt4/β‐Catenin pathway. …”
