Lower costs and improved sequencing technologies have led to a large number of high-quality rust pathogen genomes and deeper characterization of gene expression profiles during early and late infection stages. However, the set of secreted proteins expressed during infection is too large for experimental investigations and contains not only effectors but also proteins that play a role in niche colonization or in fighting off competing microbes. Therefore, accurate computational prediction is essential for identifying high-priority rust effector candidates from secretomes.

Background: Oxidative stress is strongly linked to neurodegeneration through the activation of c-Abl kinase, which arrests α-synuclein proteolysis by interacting with parkin interacting substrate (PARIS) and aminoacyl tRNA synthetase complex-interacting multifunctional protein 2 (AIMP2). This activation, triggered by ataxia-telangiectasia mutated (ATM) kinase, leads to dopaminergic neuron loss and α-synuclein aggregation, a critical pathophysiological aspect of Parkinson's disease (PD). To halt PD progression, pharmacological inhibition of c-Abl kinase is essential.

Introduction: Diagnostic performance of optical coherence tomography (OCT) to detect Alzheimer's disease (AD) and mild cognitive impairment (MCI) remains limited. We aimed to develop a deep-learning algorithm using OCT to detect AD and MCI.

Methods: We performed a cross-sectional study involving 228 Asian participants (173 cases/55 controls) for model development and testing on 68 Asian (52 cases/16 controls) and 85 White (39 cases/46 controls) participants.

Background: Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is a deadly disease without effective non-invasive diagnostic and prognostic testing. It remains unclear whether vasodilators reverse inflammatory activation, a part of PAH pathogenesis. Single-cell profiling of inflammatory cells in blood could clarify these PAH mechanisms.

ISCAZIM: Integrated statistical correlation analysis for zero-inflated microbiome data.

January 2025

Department of Biostatistics, School of Public Health, Cheeloo College of Medicine, Shandong University, Jinan, 250012, China.

Microbiome-metabolome association analysis is critical to reveal the key pairs of gut microbiota and metabolites for discovery of the microbial biomarkers in chronic diseases. However, the characteristics of microbiome data, such as zero inflation, over dispersion, may impair the confidence of association analysis between microbiome and metabolome data. The objectives of this study are to evaluate the strengths and weaknesses of existing statistical methods and to develop a computational framework tailored to the unique characteristics of microbiome data.

Nutrients in an aquatic system determine productivity, integrity and ecological status of the aquatic system. However, the excessive enrichment of these nutrients emanating from severe anthropogenic activity has substantially impacted water quality and biodiversity. There is diminutive information available on the water quality and trophic status of the northern Gulf of Lake Tana, Ethiopia due to accessibility difficulties.
