Glucose-sensing ChREBP and MondoA are transcriptional factors involved in the lipogenic, inflammatory, and insulin signaling pathways implicated in metabolic disorders; however, limited ocular studies have been conducted on these proteins. We aimed to investigate the potential role of ChREBP in the pathogenesis of diabetic retinopathy (DR). We used diabetic human and mouse retinal cryosections analyzed by immunohistochemistry.

Introduction: Individuals' math value beliefs are theorized to influence who persists in STEM. However, the existing findings on gender differences in adolescents' math value beliefs are inconsistent. The goal of this study was to use three existing datasets to help clarify when gender differences emerge for high school adolescents and for whom (i.

The increasing availability of high-dimensional, longitudinal measures of gene expression can facilitate understanding of biological mechanisms, as required for precision medicine. Biological knowledge suggests that it may be best to describe complex diseases at the level of underlying pathways, which may interact with one another. We propose a Bayesian approach that allows for characterizing such correlation among different pathways through dependent Gaussian processes (DGP) and mapping the observed high-dimensional gene expression trajectories into unobserved low-dimensional pathway expression trajectories via Bayesian sparse factor analysis.

Article Synopsis
  • A study was conducted to analyze public reactions to eye drop recalls starting in January 2023, focusing on search trends for alternative therapies and safety concerns related to dry eye disease (DED).
  • Using Google Trends, researchers tracked the popularity of various search terms related to DED therapies and eye drop safety from April 2022 to October 2023.
  • Results showed a significant increase in search interest, with most alternative therapies seeing a rise in online searches after the recalls, indicating heightened public concern about eye drop safety.
