The empirical evidence on the growth effects of import tariffs is sparse in the literature, notwithstanding strong views held by the public and politicians. Using an annual panel of macroeconomic data for 151 countries over 1963-2014, we find that tariff increases are associated with an economically and statistically sizeable and persistent decline in output growth. Thus, fears that the ongoing trade war may be costly for the world economy in terms of foregone output growth are justified.

mRNA delivery offers new opportunities for disease treatment by directing cells to produce therapeutic proteins. However, designing highly stable mRNAs with programmable cell type-specificity remains a challenge. To address this, we measured the regulatory activity of 60,000 5' and 3' untranslated regions (UTRs) across six cell types and developed PARADE (Prediction And RAtional DEsign of mRNA UTRs), a generative AI framework to engineer untranslated RNA regions with tailored cell type-specific activity.

Objectives: To compare differences in craniofacial growth prediction results for Korean and American children according to growth prediction models developed using Korean and American longitudinal growth data.

Materials And Methods: Growth prediction models based on cephalometric landmarks were built for each population using longitudinally taken lateral cephalograms of Korean children and American children of northern European origin. The sample sizes of the serial datasets were 679 and 1257 for Korean and American children, respectively.

Article Synopsis
  • Pseudomonas aeruginosa is problematic in healthcare due to its high antibiotic resistance, highlighting the need for new antimicrobial solutions.
  • A study focused on isolating a new bacteriocin from Enterococcus faecium found in stool samples, which showed promise against multidrug-resistant P. aeruginosa.
  • The purified bacteriocin, enterocin GH, demonstrated significant antibacterial and antibiofilm activity against P. aeruginosa, outperforming controls in laboratory tests.

Colorectal cancer (CRC) is considered one of the most deadly cancer types nowadays. It is rapidly increasing due to many factors, such as unhealthy lifestyles, water and food pollution, aging, and medical diagnosis development. Detecting CRC in its early stages can help stop its growth by providing the necessary treatments, thereby saving many people's lives.
