A multi-strain human skin microbiome model provides a testbed for disease modeling by Angela L. Maloney, Tyler Crawford, Jordan Hurlbut, Monica Martinez, Thomas J. Mulhern, Elizabeth L. Wiellette, Else M. Vedula, Vidhya Vijayakumar

“…A remarkable feature of this model is the persistence of Cutibacterium acnes in an aerobic tissue culture environment, since C. acnes growth is typically demonstrated under anaerobic conditions, suggesting that the skin tissue model is conducive to more natural growth states of native skin strains. The addition of cytokines representative of atopic dermatitis elicited a marked decrease in tissue barrier by day 7 compared to healthy controls, irrespective of the microbiome presence. …”

NT5E (CD73) as a prognostic biomarker and therapeutic target associated with immune infiltration in lung adenocarcinoma by Leyan Chen, Tuoya Qi, Bishu Zhang, Xuelong Wang, Mingfeng Zheng

“…A strong positive correlation was observed between NT5E expression and the presence of immune cells, including dendritic cells, macrophages, and CD4+ T cells, as well as the expression of various immune cell markers, suggesting that NT5E may influence the prognosis of LUAD patients by regulating immune cell infiltration. Additionally, drug sensitivity analysis highlights the potential of selumetinib and PD318088, both MEK1/2 inhibitors, to target NT5E in LUAD treatment, suggesting their use as single agents or in combination with other therapies. …”

IHSCR: Energy-efficient clustering and routing for wireless sensor networks based on harmony search algorithm by Bing Zeng, Yan Dong, Xinyu Li, Liang Gao

“…Then, a new energy-efficient clustering algorithm is designed based on several improvements made to harmony search algorithm: (1) a discrete encoding scheme of a harmony for clustering is proposed; (2) a roulette wheel selection method is designed to choose a gateway for a regular sensor node to join, which is employed by two steps (i.e. initialization of harmony and improvisation of a new harmony); (3) the dynamically changed harmony memory considering rate is designed for improvisation of a new harmony; (4) a local search scheme is proposed to improve the best harmony within the harmony memory in iterations. In addition, the improved harmony search based energy-efficient routing algorithm that we proposed previously is employed to balance the energy consumption of gateways in the routing phase. …”
