The genome of the sapphire damselfish : a new resource to support further investigation of the evolution of Pomacentrids.

The number of high-quality genomes is rapidly increasing across taxa. However, it remains limited for coral reef fish of the Pomacentrid family, with most research focused on anemonefish. Here, we present the first assembly for a Pomacentrid of the genus .

Biomarkers.

Background: Subjective cognitive decline (SCD), or a person's perception of changes in their cognitive abilities, has been identified as a possible early marker of preclinical Alzheimer's disease (AD) in non-Hispanic Whites; however, research is lacking about the clinical utility of SCD in diverse populations. This study investigated the associations of self and informant reports of SCD, plasma biomarker profiles of AD, and objective cognitive performance in Hispanic older adults living in Miami.

Method: Hispanic participants enrolled in the 1Florida Alzheimer's Disease Research Center who completed neuropsychological testing and blood draws for biomarker analysis were eligible.

Biomarkers.

Background: With the emergence of anti-amyloid drugs, there is an increased need to determine the presence of brain amyloid in people using non-invasive, cost-effective biomarkers. The goal of this study was to determine the added and stand-alone value of plasma biomarkers for predicting positive amyloid PET in a mixed sample of Hispanic and non-Hispanic older adults.

Method: Participants (n=209) from the 1Florida ADRC at Mount Sinai Medical Center, Miami Beach had neurological and neuropsychological evaluations; MRI, rated positive (Hpc+) or negative (Hpc-) for hippocampal atrophy on visual read; amyloid PET brain scans, rated amyloid positive (A+) or negative (A-) on visual read; blood draws for APOE ε4 genotyping (e4+, e4-); and plasma biomarkers including Abeta 42/40 ratio (Quest Diagnostics), p-tau217 (ALZPath), glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP), and neurofilament light chain (NfL) (Quanterix).

Impact of H37Rv Infection on Extracellular Vesicle Cargo in Macrophages: Implications for Host-Pathogen Interaction.

Tuberculosis (TB) is one of the most common respiratory infections worldwide, and it is caused by (). employs immune evasion mechanisms that allow the disease to become chronic. Despite extensive research, the host-pathogen interaction remains incompletely understood.

Mapping employment dynamics in public agencies with payroll data: A methodological framework with an application to Chile.

This study introduces a novel, replicable methodology for analyzing employment dynamics within public sector agencies, focusing on turnover and staff longevity. The methodology is designed to be generalizable and applicable to diverse national contexts where detailed administrative data is available. Using payroll data from over 325,000 Chilean civil servants (2006-2020), we apply mixed-effects Cox survival models and linear mixed models to examine patterns of employment stability across state agencies.
