Understanding of disease severity of thalassemia. by Tao, Feng.

“…Seven different patients with disease severity from mild to severe were studied. The pattern demonstrated in this experiment, i.e. the lower the β to α globin concentration ratio the more severe the disease of β-thalassemia, implicates a correlation between the concentration ratios of β versus α globin and the disease severity. …”

Modeling MELAS-associated cardiac defects using patient-specific iPSC-derived cardiomyocytes and cardiac organoids by Phua, Qian Hua

“…In this study, our iPSC-based in vitro model presented novel evidences showing that mitochondrial perturbations found in MELAS affects cardiomyocytes (CMs) differentiation and maturation. Mild mitochondrial aberrations such as mitochondria dynamic disequilibrium and abnormal increase in mitochondria numbers were also being recapitulated in our model. …”

Scheduling nonlinear divisible loads in a single level tree network by Suresh, Sundaram, Run, Cui, Kim, H. J., Robertazzi, T. G.

“…The problem of finding optimal load fraction is a computationally intensive task. Using a mild assumption on the ratio of communication time to computation time, we present a closed-form solution for near optimal load fractions and processing time for the entire load fractions. …”
