Bayesian solution to the inverse problem and its relation to Backus–Gilbert methods by Luigi Del Debbio, Alessandro Lupo, Marco Panero, Nazario Tantalo

“…In our setup, we find that the determination of the algorithmic parameters based on a stability analysis provides results that are, on average, more conservative than those based on the maximisation of a likelihood function.…”

Cross-species transmission of an ancient endogenous retrovirus and convergent co-option of its envelope gene in two mammalian orders. by J'Zaria Simpson, Christine A Kozak, Guney Boso

“…These Env proteins lack a transmembrane motif, but phylogenetic analyses show strong sequence preservation and positive selection of the env surface ORF in their respective orders, and transcriptomic analyses show a broad tissue expression pattern for both ARTenvV and CARenvV, suggesting that these genes may be exapted for a host function. Multiple lines of evidence indicate that ARTenvV and CARenvV were derived from an ancient ancestral exogenous gamma-like retrovirus that was independently endogenized in two mammalian orders more than 60 million years ago, which roughly coincides with the K-Pg mass extinction event and subsequent mammalian diversification. …”

CHD8 adulthood microglial knockdown in C57BL6 mice induces behavioral, morphological, and transcriptional changes in a sex-dependent manner by Orly Weissberg, Ram Harari, Chizim Dogun, Dmitriy Getselter, Evan Elliott

“…However, there is little knowledge of its specific roles in microglia, and its possible roles in cellular functions after development, i.e. adulthood. In addition, while microglial dysfunction has been characterized in autism, the roles of autism-associated genes in microglial function have not been well characterized. …”

Seismic Random Noise Suppression Using Optimal ANFIS as an Adaptive Self-Tuning Filter and Wavelet Thresholding by K. Geetha, Malaya Kumar Hota

“…Thus, the WT is applied to the extracted signal, with different values of the adjusting parameters in the thresholding function, to attenuate the noise effectually. Lastly, the experimental results on the synthetic and real seismic signals reveal that the proposed OANFIS WT method is more effective in reducing random noise and preserving relevant signal information than other contrastive methods.…”

Lifting the innate immune barriers to antitumor immunity by Carla V Rothlin, Sourav Ghosh

“…We discuss some of the molecules present in innate immune cells, including natural killer cells, dendritic cells, macrophages, myeloid-derived suppressor cells, endothelial cells and stromal cells, that can activate or enhance innate immune cell functions, and more importantly, the inhibitors or checkpoints present in these cells that restrain their functions. …”

The effect of one and two sessions endurance and resistance exercise training per day on serum levels of IgA and cortisol in soccer players by Nabi Shamsaei, Hadi Abdi

“…There was no significant difference between the two groups in the changes in serum cortisol and IgA. Conclusion: Doing more than one session of exercise per day, especially endurance activities, can possibly lead to decreased immune system function and increased catabolic status.…”

Transplanting intact donor tissue enhances dopamine cell survival and the predictability of motor improvements in a rat model of Parkinson's disease. by Rosemary A Fricker, Jan Herman Kuiper, Monte A Gates

“…When assessing the correlation between the number of dopamine cells in each transplant, and the improvement in rotation bias in experimental animals, it was shown that transplants of whole pieces of VM tissue offered greater predictability of graft function based on their dopamine cell content. Such results suggest that maintaining the integrity of VM tissue during implantation improves dopamine cell content, and that the dopamine cell content of whole tissue grafts offers a more predictable outcome of graft function in an animal model of Parkinson's disease.…”
