Gradient diffusion entropy corrected ALNS optimization for vegetation topology interaction networks by Shengwei Wang, Hongquan Chen, Yulin Guo, Wenjing Su, Yurong Xu, Shuohao Cui, Zhiqiang Zhou

“…In this study, two characteristics of the vegetation interaction network constructed through density analysis linking land cover and land class transfer space can realize the objectivity of ecosystem simulation: (1) Constructing relationships between vegetation types using spaces where transfer patterns occur as aggregated clusters. (2) Calculation of relationship strength based on density analysis. In addition the interaction topology network was optimized using the gradient diffusion entropy correction ALNS to further enhance the stability of the proposed ecological interaction network structure. …”

IL-17 Is a Key Regulator of Mucin-Galectin-3 Interactions in Asthma by Manoj J. Mammen, Jamil Ali, Amita Aurora, Umesh C. Sharma, Ravikumar Aalinkeel, Supriya D. Mahajan, Mark Sands, Stanley A. Schwartz

“…We previously showed that the absence of tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase 1 (TIMP-1) enhances lung inflammation, airway hyperreactivity, and lung remodeling in asthma in an ovalbumin (OVA) asthma model of TIMP-1 knockout (TIMPKO) mice as compared to wild-type (WT) controls and mediated by increased galectin-3 (Gal-3) levels. Additionally, we have shown that in the lung epithelial cell line A549, Gal-3 inhibition increases interleukin-17 (IL-17) levels, leading to increased mucin expression in the airway epithelium. …”
