Allele-specific gene expression in carcinogenesis by O. M. Krivtsova, N. L. Lazarevich

“…Allele-specific expression is defined by a range of genetic and epigenetic mechanisms including cis-regulatory polymorphisms, allele-specific binding of transcription factors, allele-specific DNA methylation and regulation through non-coding RNA.Although the data on the issue are scarce, allele-specific expression has been reported to be implicated in several hereditary disorders including benign and malignant tumors of the large intestine. …”

Integrating agent‐based models into the ensemble ecosystem modelling framework: A rewilding case study at the Knepp Estate, UK by Emily Neil, Ernesto Carrella, Richard Bailey

“…Incorporating space and individual‐level dynamics enabled a more nuanced evaluation of the possible impacts of hypothetical European bison or elk reintroductions, and it revealed an emergent behaviour: woodland regenerated more frequently in thorny scrubland when large herbivores were present. Practical implication. While the ABM‐EEM approach comes with disadvantages such as higher computational demands and reduced transparency, it shows promise for conservation planning and decision‐making, particularly for relatively data‐rich case studies that may require a more complex model.…”

Genetic profiling of rat gliomas and cardiac schwannomas from life-time radiofrequency radiation exposure study using a targeted next-generation sequencing gene panel. by Ashley M Brooks, Andrea Vornoli, Ramesh C Kovi, Thai Vu T Ton, Miaofei Xu, Ahmed Mashal, Eva Tibaldi, Federica Gnudi, Jian-Liang Li, Robert C Sills, John R Bucher, Daniele Mandrioli, Fiorella Belpoggi, Arun R Pandiri

“…Translational relevance of these genetic alterations in rat tumors to human disease was determined through comparison with the Catalogue of Somatic Mutations in Cancer (COSMIC) database. These data suggest that rat gliomas resulting from life-time exposure to RFR histologically resemble low grade human gliomas but surprisingly no mutations were detected in rat gliomas that had homology to the human IDH1 p.R132 or IDH2 p.R172 suggesting that rat gliomas are primarily wild-type for IDH hotspot mutations implicated in human gliomas. …”
