Sensory Processing Sensitivity and Its Relation to Exercise Behavior and Preferred Exercise Intensity.

Regular exercise is important for overall health, yet exercise participation in the United States remains low. Exercise promotion depends on identifying factors such as personality that might influence exercise participation. Sensory processing sensitivity (SPS), a personality trait described as the tendency to deeply process environmental stimuli, is a psychological factor that may influence exercise participation.

tttrlib: modular software for integrating fluorescence spectroscopy, imaging, and molecular modeling.

Summary: We introduce software for reading, writing and processing fluorescence single-molecule and image spectroscopy data and developing analysis pipelines to unify various spectroscopic analysis tools. Our software can be used for processing multiple experiment types, e.g.

The astrocytic zinc transporter ZIP12 is a synaptic protein that contributes to synaptic zinc levels in mouse auditory cortex.

Synaptically released zinc is a neuronal signaling system that arises from the actions of the presynaptic vesicular zinc transporter protein ZnT3. Mechanisms that regulate the actions of zinc at synapses are of great importance for many aspects of synaptic signaling in the brain. Here, we identify the astrocytic zinc transporter protein ZIP12 as a candidate mechanism that contributes to zinc clearance at cortical synapses.

Machine Learning Approaches to Predict Alcohol Consumption from Biomarkers in the UK Biobank.

Background: Measuring and estimating alcohol consumption (AC) is important for individual health, public health, and Societal benefits. While self-report and diagnostic interviews are commonly used, incorporating biological-based indices can offer a complementary approach.

Methods: We evaluate machine learning (ML) based predictions of AC using blood and urine-derived biomarkers.

Familial RPL26 Variant Causing Congenital Anomalies Without Hematological Features of Diamond Blackfan Anemia.

Diamond Blackfan anemia (DBA) is an autosomal dominant disorder with a heterogeneous clinical presentation which may include macrocytic anemia typically presenting in the first year of life, growth retardation, and congenital malformations in 30%-50% of patients. This phenotypic variability is partially explained by genotype-phenotype correlations, with several ribosomal protein genes implicated in this disorder. Most cases are due to de novo variants, but familial occurrences highlight variable expressivity and reduced penetrance.
