Biological invasions are a major threat to biodiversity, ecosystem functioning and nature's contributions to people worldwide. However, the effectiveness of invasive alien species (IAS) management measures and the progress toward achieving biodiversity targets remain uncertain due to limited and nonuniform data availability. Management success is usually assessed at a local level and documented in technical reports, often written in languages other than English, which makes such data notoriously difficult to collect at large geographic scales.

In clinical movement biomechanics, kinematic measurements are collected to characterise the motion of articulating joints and investigate how different factors influence movement patterns. Representative time-series signals are calculated to encapsulate (complex and multidimensional) kinematic datasets succinctly. Exacerbated by numerous difficulties to consistently define joint coordinate frames, the influence of local frame orientation and position on the characteristics of the resultant kinematic signals has been previously proven to be a major limitation.

The genus Streptococcus is highly diverse and a core member of the primate oral microbiome. Streptococcus species are grouped into at least eight phylogenetically-supported clades, five of which are found almost exclusively in the oral cavity. We explored the dominant Streptococcus phylogenetic clades in samples from multiple oral sites and from ancient and modern-day humans and non-human primates and found that clade dominance is conserved across human oral sites, with most Streptococcus reads assigned to species falling in the Sanguinis or Mitis clades.

The ability to tolerate otherwise toxic compounds can open up unique niches in nature. Among drosophilid flies, few examples of such adaptations are known and those which are known are typically from highly host-specific species. Here we show that the human commensal species Drosophila busckii uses dimethyldisulfide (DMDS) as a key mediator in its host selection.

In ecology, Alan Turing's proposed activation-inhibition mechanism has been abstracted as corresponding to several ecological interaction types to explain pattern formation in ecosystems. Consumer-resource interactions have strong theoretical arguments linking them to both the Turing mechanism and pattern formation, but there is little empirical support to demonstrate these claims. Here, we connect several lines of evidence to support the proposition that consumer-resource interactions can create empirically observed spatial patterns through a mechanism similar to Turing's theory.

Early Dynamics of Portal Pressure Gradient After TIPS Insertion Predict Mortality.

Aliment Pharmacol Ther

January 2025

Department of Internal Medicine IV (Gastroenterology, Hepatology and Infectious Diseases), Jena University Hospital, Friedrich-Schiller-University, Jena, Germany.

Background: Transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) placement leads to a reduction in portal pressure and an improvement in survival in patients with recurrent and refractory ascites and variceal haemorrhage. Prediction of post-TIPS survival is primarily determined by factors identified before the TIPS procedure, as data collected during or after TIPS implantation are limited. The aim of the study was to evaluate the influence of early hemodynamic changes after TIPS placement on survival, in order to refine post TIPS management.

Radiation therapy (RT) is widely used for cancer treatment but is found with side effects of radiation dermatitis and fibrosis thereby calling for timely assessment. Nevertheless, current clinical assessment methods are found to be subjective, prone to bias, and accompanied by variability. There is, therefore, an unmet clinical need to explore a new assessment technique, ideally portable and affordable, making it accessible to less developed regions too.

Memristive technology mitigates the memory wall issue in von Neumann architectures by enabling in-memory data processing. Unlike traditional complementary metal-oxide semiconductor (CMOS) technology, memristors provide a new paradigm for implementing cryptographic functions and security considerations. While prior research explores memristors for cryptographic functions and side-channel attack vulnerabilities, our study uniquely addresses memristor-oriented countermeasures.

The protein deacetylase HDAC6 has been controversially linked to cancer cell proliferation and viral propagation. We analyzed whether a pharmacological depletion of HDAC6 with a recent proteolysis-targeting chimera (PROTAC) kills tumor cells. We show that low micromolar doses of the cereblon-based PROTAC TH170, but not its inactive analog TH170E, induce proteasomal degradation of HDAC6.

Prior knowledge changes how the brain processes sensory input. Whether knowledge influences initial sensory processing upstream of the brain, in the spinal cord, is unknown. Studying electric potentials recorded invasively and noninvasively from the human spinal cord at millisecond resolution, we find that the cord generates electric potentials at 600 hertz that are modulated by prior knowledge about the time of sensory input, as early as 13 to 16 milliseconds after stimulation.

Objective: Mutations in the thyroid hormone (TH) transporter monocarboxylate transporter 8 (MCT8) cause Allan-Herndon-Dudley syndrome (AHDS), a severe form of psychomotor retardation with muscle hypoplasia and spastic paraplegia as key symptoms. These abnormalities have been attributed to an impaired TH transport across brain barriers and into neural cells thereby affecting brain development and function. Likewise, Mct8/Oatp1c1 (organic anion transporting polypeptide 1c1) double knockout (M/Odko) mice, a well-established murine AHDS model, display a strongly reduced TH passage into the brain as well as locomotor abnormalities.
