We estimate generic statistical properties of a structural credit risk model by considering an ensemble of correlation matrices. This ensemble is set up by Random Matrix Theory. We demonstrate analytically that the presence of correlations severely limits the effect of diversification in a credit portfolio if the correlations are not identically zero. The existence of correlations alters the tails of the loss distribution considerably, even if their average is zero. Under the assumption of randomly fluctuating correlations, a lower bound for the estimation of the loss distribution is provided.

Spatial transcriptomics (ST) provides critical insights into the complex spatial organization of gene expression in tissues, enabling researchers to unravel the intricate relationship between cellular environments and biological function. Identifying spatial domains within tissues is essential for understanding tissue architecture and the mechanisms underlying various biological processes, including development and disease progression. Here, we present Randomized Spatial PCA (RASP), a novel spatially aware dimensionality reduction method for spatial transcriptomics (ST) data.

While there are a plethora of cosmeceutical peptides, few combine anti-aging and anti-inflammatory benefits with small size.
Methods: Preclinical and clinical studies evaluated the anti-inflammatory properties, anti-aging benefits, and tolerability of acetyl dipeptide-31 amide (AP31), a novel, small, anti-aging micropeptide, to understand its impact as a multifaceted, cosmetic, anti-aging, and anti-inflammaging ingredient.
Background: Injectable biostimulator treatments stimulate endogenous collagen in aging skin, but whether they act through similar pathways is unknown. This study evaluates two biostimulatory agents' effects on genes, expressed proteins, and respective pathways as potential aging biomarkers and treatment outcomes.
Methods: This 13-week, randomized, single-center, comparative study compared volume change and gene expression stimulated by poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA-SCATM) and calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA-R) via punch biopsy in the nasolabial fold (NLF).
Fluoride Exposure and Children's IQ Scores: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.
JAMA Pediatr
January 2025
Division of Translational Toxicology, National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences, National Institutes of Health, Research Triangle Park, North Carolina.
Importance: Previous meta-analyses suggest that fluoride exposure is adversely associated with children's IQ scores. An individual's total fluoride exposure comes primarily from fluoride in drinking water, food, and beverages.
Objective: To perform a systematic review and meta-analysis of epidemiological studies investigating children's IQ scores and prenatal or postnatal fluoride exposure.
Major ozonated autohemotherapy promoted functional recovery following spinal cord injury in adult rats via the inhibition of oxidative stress and inflammation.
Open Life Sci
December 2024
Department of Orthopaedics, The Second Affiliated Hospital of Soochow University, Suzhou, Jiangsu, 215004, China.
This study sought to explore the value of major ozonated autohemotherapy (MOA) as a treatment for spinal cord injury (SCI) in a rat model system. In total, 54 female Sprague-Dawley rats were randomized into sham-operated, SCI model, and MOA treatment groups. We found that relative to the SCI model group, rats that underwent MOA treatment exhibited improved locomotor scores on days 14, 21, and 28 after injury ( < 0.
