Motivation: Likelihood ratio tests are commonly used to test for positive selection acting on proteins. They are usually applied with thresholds for declaring a protein under positive selection determined from a chi-square or mixture of chi-square distributions. While it is known that such distributions are not strictly justified due to the statistical irregularity of the problem, the hope has been that the resulting tests are conservative and do not lose much power in comparison with the same test using the unknown, correct threshold.

Importins mediate transport from synapse to soma and from cytoplasm to nucleus, suggesting that perturbation of importin-dependent pathways should have significant neuronal consequences. A behavioral screen on five importin α knockout lines revealed that reduced expression of importin α5 (KPNA1) in hippocampal neurons specifically decreases anxiety in mice. Re-expression of importin α5 in ventral hippocampus of knockout animals increased anxiety behaviors to wild-type levels. Read More

The circadian clock of the cyanobacterium Synechococcus elongatus PCC 7942 drives oscillations in global mRNA abundances with 24-hr periodicity under constant light conditions. The circadian clock-regulated transcription factor RpaA controls the timing of circadian gene expression, but the mechanisms underlying this control are not well understood. Here, we show that four RpaA-dependent sigma factors-RpoD2, RpoD6, RpoD5, and SigF2-are sequentially activated downstream of active RpaA and are required for proper expression of circadian mRNAs.

Background: Heterologous prime boost immunization with chimpanzee adenovirus 63 (ChAd63) and Modified Vaccinia Virus Ankara (MVA) vectored vaccines is a strategy previously shown to provide substantial protective efficacy against P. falciparum infection in United Kingdom adult Phase IIa sporozoite challenge studies (approximately 20-25% sterile protection with similar numbers showing clear delay in time to patency), and greater point efficacy in a trial in Kenyan adults.

Methodology: We conducted the first Phase IIb clinical trial assessing the safety, immunogenicity and efficacy of ChAd63 MVA ME-TRAP in 700 healthy malaria exposed children aged 5-17 months in a highly endemic malaria transmission area of Burkina Faso. Read More

Different case series have been published demonstrating the feasibility of endovascular repair of the ascending aorta in selected patients deemed unfit for open surgery. However, the use of commercially available stent graft in the ascending aorta remains off-label, and their excessive length often prevents their deployment in the ascending aorta. Here we report a case of successful primary endovascular repair of the ascending aorta using a physician modified off-the-shelf device. Read More

Both oil spill and heavy metal ions in the industrial wastewater cause severe problems for aquatic ecosystem and human health. In the present work, the electrospun superamphiphilic SiO-TiO porous nanofibrous membranes (STPNMs) comprised of intrafiber mesopores and interfiber macropores are modified by an amino-silanization reaction, which affords the membrane (ASTPNMs) the ability to simultaneously remove the oil contaminants and the water-soluble heavy metal ions from wastewater. The under-water superoleophobicity of ASTPNMs facilitates the highly efficient separation of water and various oils, even emulsifier stabilized emulsion. Read More

Calcitonin was discovered over 50 yr ago as a new hormone that rapidly lowers circulating calcium levels. This effect is caused by the inhibition of calcium efflux from bone, as calcitonin is a potent inhibitor of bone resorption. Calcitonin has been in clinical use for conditions of accelerated bone turnover, including Paget's disease and osteoporosis; although in recent years, with the development of drugs that are more potent inhibitors of bone resorption, its use has declined.

Sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) have shown great superiority for grid-scale storage applications due to the low cost, and the abundance of sodium. P2-type Na2/3Ni1/3Mn2/3O2 cathode materials have attracted much attention for their high capacities and operating voltages as well as their simple synthesis processes. However, Na+/vacancy ordering and the P2-O2 phase transition are unavoidable during Na+ insertion/extraction, leading to undesired voltage plateaus and deficient battery performances. Read More

Current development of epitranscriptomics field requires efficient experimental protocols for precise mapping and quantification of various modified nucleotides in RNA. Despite important advances in the field during the last 10 years, this task is still extremely laborious and time-consuming, even when high-throughput analytical approaches are employed. Moreover, only a very limited subset of RNA modifications can be detected and only rarely be quantified by these powerful techniques. Read More

Immuno-northern blotting is a method for detecting modified RNAs using gel separation and specific antibodies to modified nucleosides. This method was developed by combining two commonly used molecular biology techniques: western blotting and northern blotting. In this method, urea-polyacrylamide (or agarose) gel-separated RNAs are transferred to positively charged nylon membrane and then immune detection is performed with specific antibodies to modified nucleosides: such as 1-methyladenosine, N6-methyladenosine, and pseudouridine.

Background: The incidence of biliary lithiasis is increased after bariatric surgery due to rapid weight loss [1]. Trans-oral endoscopic management in cases of common bile duct gallstone complication is not possible in patients with Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) due to the modified anatomy. Access to the biliary tree after RYGB with a classical direct surgical approach of common bile duct and choledocoscopy can be used, but may be complicated in situations of acute cholangitis because of the fragility of common duct, or in cases of previous cholecystectomy.
