our study, it appears that IgG responses to crude gametocyte extract are not an independent predictor of gametocyte carriage after adjusting for AMA1 responses but may predict gametocyte carriage as a proxy marker of exposure to parasites. Serological responses to AMA1 or to gametocyte extract may facilitate identification of individuals within…[Read more]

Super-resolution microscopy has revolutionised the way we observe biological systems. These methods are now a staple of fluorescence microscopy. Researchers have used super-resolution methods in myriad systems to extract nanoscale spatial information on multiple interacting parts. These methods are continually being extended and reimagined to…[Read more]

We discuss DNA damage pathways uncovered by HD GWAS, known roles of other polyglutamine disease proteins in DNA damage repair, and a panel of hypotheses for pathogenic mechanisms.

Advanced machine learning methods can aid in the identification of dementia risk using neuroimaging-derived features including FDG-PET. However, to enable the…[Read more]

We also extracted data on treatment-related adverse events and immune-related adverse events (irAEs).

Overall, 10 randomised controlled clinical trials (n=5765) were included. As first-line treatment for advanced NSCLC, IC tended to yield better PFS, OS and ORR than did IO. Furthermore, IC yielded significantly better PFS than IO when…[Read more]

Pearl millet (Pennisetum americanum (L.) K. Schum) has been proven as a potential remediation plant of the pollution caused by atrazine. Plants used in remediation can release root exudates to communicate with rhizosphere microorganisms and accelerate the removal of pollutants in soil. However, the response of pearl millet root exudates under…[Read more]

Little is known about the intersection of HIV stigma and substance use stigma. Using data from 188 HIV-positive people who inject drugs (PWID) in Russia, we examined the associations of these stigmas and their interaction with access and utilization of healthcare. While substance use stigma was significantly associated with poor access to care…[Read more]
