Epitranscriptomics is the study of modifications of RNA molecules by small molecular residues, such as the methyl (-CH) group. These modifications are inheritable and reversible. A specific group of enzymes called "writers" introduces the change to the RNA; "erasers" delete it, while "readers" stimulate a downstream effect.

Background: Loss to follow-up in long-term epidemiological studies is well-known and often substantial. Consequently, there is a risk of bias to the results. The motivation to take part in an epidemiological study can change over time, but the ways to minimize loss to follow-up are not well studied.

Resorbable inferior vena cava (IVC) filters require embedded contrast for image-guided placement and integrity monitoring. We calculated correction factors to account for partial volume averaging of thin nanoparticle (NP)-embedded materials, accounting for object and slice thicknesses, background signal, and nanoparticle concentration. We used phantoms containing polycaprolactone disks embedded with bismuth (Bi) or ytterbium (Yb): 0.

Dams have disrupted natural river systems worldwide and although population and community level effects on aquatic biota have been well documented, food web responses remain poorly understood and difficult to characterize. The application of stable isotope analysis (SIA) provides a means to assess the effect of dams on food webs. Here we review the effect of dams on aquatic food webs using SIA, aiming to detect knowledge gaps in the field of dam impacts on aquatic food webs and propose a conceptual framework to help formulate hypotheses about dam impacts on food webs guided by food web theory.
