A host driven parasitoid syndrome: Convergent evolution of multiple traits associated with woodboring hosts in Ichneumonidae (Hymenoptera, Ichneumonoidea)

Plos.org 

by Davide Dal Pos, Barbara J. Sharanowski

The evolution of convergent phenotypes is of major interest in biology because of their omnipresence and ability to inform the study of evolutionary novelty and constraint. Convergent phenotypes can be combinations of traits that evolve concertedly, called syndromes, and these can be shaped by a common environmental pressure. Parasitoid wasps which use a wide variety of arthropod hosts have also repeatedly and convergently switched host use across their evolutionary history. Читать дальше...

In vivo screening of flavonoid compounds revealed quercetin as a potential drug to improve recovery of angiostrongyliasis after albendazole treatment

Plos.org 

by Ho Yin Pekkle Lam, Yu-Ting Huang, Ting-Ruei Liang, Shih-Yi Peng

Human angiostrongyliasis, caused by consuming the larva stage of Angiostrongylus cantonensis, is an infectious disease involving the central nervous system (CNS) and ophthalmic system. Current treatment of angiostrongyliasis involves albendazole accompanied by analgesics and corticosteroids. However, long-term use of corticosteroids may lead to significant adverse effects. In the current study, we screened through different... Читать дальше...

Prioritizing disease-related rare variants by integrating gene expression data

Plos.org 

by Hanmin Guo, Alexander Eckehart Urban, Wing Hung Wong

Rare variants, comprising the vast majority of human genetic variations, are likely to have more deleterious impact in the context of human diseases compared to common variants. Here we present carrier statistic, a statistical framework to prioritize disease-related rare variants by integrating gene expression data. By quantifying the impact of rare variants on gene expression, carrier statistic can prioritize those rare variants that... Читать дальше...

BootCellNet, a resampling-based procedure, promotes unsupervised identification of cell populations via robust inference of gene regulatory networks

Plos.org 

by Yutaro Kumagai

Recent advances in measurement technologies, particularly single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq), have revolutionized our ability to acquire large amounts of omics-level data on cellular states. As measurement techniques evolve, there has been an increasing need for data analysis methodologies, especially those focused on cell-type identification and inference of gene regulatory networks (GRNs). We have developed a new method named BootCellNet, which employs smoothing and resampling to infer GRNs. Читать дальше...

HIPI: Spatially resolved multiplexed protein expression inferred from H&E WSIs

Plos.org 

by Ron Zeira, Leon Anavy, Zohar Yakhini, Ehud Rivlin, Daniel Freedman

Solid tumors are characterized by complex interactions between the tumor, the immune system and the microenvironment. These interactions and intra-tumor variations have both diagnostic and prognostic significance and implications. However, quantifying the underlying processes in patient samples requires expensive and complicated molecular experiments. In contrast, H&E staining is typically performed as part of the routine standard process, and is very cheap. Читать дальше...
