CEN‐tools: an integrative platform to identify the contexts of essential genes by Sumana Sharma, Cansu Dincer, Paula Weidemüller, Gavin J Wright, Evangelia Petsalaki

“…We show that CEN‐tools is suitable for the systematic identification of genetic dependencies and for more targeted queries. The associations between genes and a given context are represented as dependency networks (CENs), and we demonstrate the utility of these networks in elucidating novel gene functions. …”

Gait speed after mild stroke/transient ischemic attack was associated with long‐term adverse outcomes: A cohort study by Ning Li, Jia Zhang, Yang Du, Jing Li, Anxin Wang, Xingquan Zhao

“…Faster gait speed at 3 months was associated with lower incidence of poor functional outcome (OR = 0.90; 95% CI, 0.85–0.95), ambulate dependency (OR = 0.86; 95% CI, 0.77–0.97), and cognitive impairment (OR = 0.92; 95% CI, 0.88–0.95) at 1 year. …”

Factors Associated with Cognitive Impairment among Adults of 55 Years and Older in Cameroon by Nadine Simo-Tabue, Mélanie Annick Magnerou, Ludwig Mounsamy, Salvatore Metamno, Laurys Letchimy, Jean-François Dartigues, Callixte Kuate-Tegueu, Maturin Tabué-Teguo

“…Conclusion: The three main factors associated with cognitive impairment were education, IADL (Instrumental Activity of Daily Living) dependency, and BMI. This study shows that among older people in sub-Saharan Africa, the effect of BMI, IADL dependency, and education on cognitive function appears similar to that observed in middle- and high-income countries. …”

Response regulator heterodimer formation controls a key stage in Streptomyces development. by Mahmoud M Al-Bassam, Maureen J Bibb, Matthew J Bush, Govind Chandra, Mark J Buttner

“…Additional ChIP-Seq analysis showed that BldM Group II genes were also direct targets of WhiI and that in vivo binding of WhiI to these promoters depended on BldM and vice versa. We go on to demonstrate that BldM and WhiI form a functional heterodimer that controls Group II promoters, serving to integrate signals from two distinct developmental pathways. …”
