AI Article Synopsis

  • Complex networks are useful for modeling biological systems, with a focus on the concept of accessibility to classify nodes as either border or center.
  • Recent research explores how the position of nodes in these networks affects their functional and structural properties.
  • In this study, the authors analyze Protein-Protein Interaction networks in four Mycoplasma organisms, finding that a protein's "borderness" relates to its spatial organization and specific molecular functions.

Article Abstract

Complex networks have been widely used to model biological systems. The concept of accessibility has been proposed recently as a means to organize the nodes of complex networks as belonging to its border or center. Such an approach paves the way to investigating how the functional and structural properties of nodes vary with their respective position in the networks. In this work, we approach such a problem in a biological context applying border detection to Protein-Protein Interaction networks from four organisms of the Mycoplasma genus. We found evidence that the borderness of proteins bears a relation with their spatial organization and molecular function specificity.

Objective: Laparoscopic nephron sparing surgery (NSS) can be performed by mainly 2 methods, offclamp or on-clamp. Continuous bleeding during the off-clamp method may impair the clear visualization of the border between the tumor and parenchyma, even though it is done safely in experienced hands. Therefore, some surgical modifications may be needed during mass excision and renorraphy.

Background: Occult papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) refers to the PTC accidentally found due to its occult lesions. Classic, as the most common subtype of PTC, is usually considered to have a low degree of malignancy and a favorable prognosis. Currently, the American Thyroid Association Management Guidelines adopted active surveillance (AS) as an alternative to immediate surgery in some low-risk PTC patients with less than 1 cm in diameter.

A 71-year-old man complained of a blackish wound under his left eye, which began with fever and reddish spots after helping to slaughter a cow and cut its meat. The fever occured especially in the afternoon to evening, and is not accompanied by chills and sweating. On day 4 of fever onset, the fever diminished and the spots progressively widened with swelling.
