Moving “Forward” in Plasmodium Genetics through a Transposon-Based Approach by Bharath Balu

“…Even with certain limitations, the technique has already shown significant promise to increase our understanding of parasite biology needed for rationalized drug and vaccine design. Further improvements to the mutagenesis technique and the design of novel genetic screens should lead us to some exciting discoveries about the critical weaknesses of Plasmodium, and greatly aid in the development of new disease intervention strategies.…”

Caerin 1.1/1.9-mediated antitumor immunity depends on IFNAR-Stat1 signalling of tumour infiltrating macrophage by autocrine IFNα and is enhanced by CD47 blockade by Junjie Li, Yuandong Luo, Quanlan Fu, Shuxian Tang, Pingping Zhang, Ian H. Frazer, Xiaosong Liu, Tianfang Wang, Guoying Ni

“…Abstract Previously, we demonstrated that natural host-defence peptide caerin 1.1/caerin 1.9 (F1/F3) increases the efficacy of anti-PD-1 and therapeutic vaccine, in a HPV16 + TC-1 tumour model, but the anti-tumor mechanism of F1/F3 is still unclear. …”

A machine learning and clustering-based approach for county-level COVID-19 analysis. by Charles Nicholson, Lex Beattie, Matthew Beattie, Talayeh Razzaghi, Sixia Chen

“…This paper employs both supervised and unsupervised methods to identify the critical county-level demographic, mobility, weather, medical capacity, and health related county-level factors for studying COVID-19 propagation prior to the widespread availability of a vaccine. We use this feature subspace to aggregate counties into meaningful clusters to support more refined disease analysis efforts.…”
