Selective lighting up of epiberberine alkaloid fluorescence by fluorophore-switching aptamer and stoichiometric targeting of human telomeric DNA G-quadruplex multimer by Zhang, Lihua, Liu, Hua, Shao, Yong, Lin, Clement, Jia, Huan, Chen, Gang, Yang, Danzhou, Wang, Ying

“…The steady-state absorption, steady-state/time-resolved fluorescence, and NMR studies demonstrate that EPI most likely interact with the 5′ end flanking sequence substructure beyond the core [Q] and the G-quadruplex tetrad in a much more specific manner than the other alkaloids. …”

Structural analysis of the novel influenza A (H7N9) viral Neuraminidase interactions with current approved neuraminidase inhibitors Oseltamivir, Zanamivir, and Peramivir in the pre... by Tran-To Su, Chinh, Ouyang, Xuchang, Zheng, Jie, Kwoh, Chee Keong

“…Results: Combination of molecular docking and Molecular Dynamics simulation reveal that zanamivir forms more favorable and stable complex than oseltamivir and peramivir when binding to the active site of the H7N9 neuraminidase. And it is likely that the novel influenza A (H7N9) virus adopts a higher probability to acquire resistance to peramivir than the other two inhibitors. …”

Same data, different analysts: variation in effect sizes due to analytical decisions in ecology and evolutionary biology by Gould, E, Fraser, HS, Parker, TH, Nakagawa, S, Griffith, SC, Vesk, PA, Fidler, F, Hamilton, DG, Abbey-Lee, RN, Abbott, JK, Aguirre, LA, Alcaraz, C, Aloni, I, Altschul, D, Arekar, K, Atkins, JW, Atkinson, J, Baker, CM, Barrett, M, Bell, K, Bello, SK, Beltrán, I, Berauer, BJ, Bertram, MG, Wood, A

“…In other words, analyses with results that were far from the mean were no more or less likely to have dissimilar variable sets, use random effects in their models, or receive poor peer reviews than those analyses that found results that were close to the mean. …”

Integrated transcriptomic and proteomic profiling of responses to clinical and novel bisphosphonates by Lu, J

“…Pre-clinical studies also indicate that the observed non-skeletal effects of bisphosphonates are likely due to mechanisms beyond inhibition of osteoclasts. …”

Long Covid: a global health issue – a prospective, cohort study set in four continents by Pazukhina, E, Garcia-Gallo, E, Reyes, LF, Kildal, AB, Jassat, W, Dryden, M, Holter, JC, Chatterjee, A, Gomez, K, Søraas, A, Puntoni, M, Latronico, N, Bozza, FA, Edelstein, M, Gonçalves, BP, Kartsonaki, C, Kruglova, O, Gaião, S, Chow, YP, Doshi, Y, Duque Vallejo, SI, Ibáñez-Prada, ED, Fuentes, YV, Hastie, C, O'Hara, ME, Balan, V, Menkir, T, Merson, L, Kelly, S, Citarella, BW, Semple, MG, Scott, JT, Munblit, D, Sigfrid, L

“…Participants in HICs were more likely to report not feeling fully recovered (54.3% vs 18.0%, p<0.001; 56.8% vs 40.1%, p<0.001), fatigue (42.9% vs 27.9%, p<0.001; 41.6% vs 27.9%, p<0.001), new/persistent fever (19.6% vs 2.1%, p<0.001; 20.3% vs 2.0%, p<0.001) and have a higher prevalence of anxiety/depression and impact on usual activities compared with participants in LMICs at 2 to <6 and 6 to <12 months post-COVID-19 hospital discharge, respectively. …”

Internet tool to support self-assessment and self-swabbing of sore throat: development and feasibility study by Lown, M, Smith, KA, Muller, I, Woods, C, Maund, E, Rogers, K, Becque, T, Hayward, G, Moore, M, Little, P, Glogowska, M, Hay, A, Stuart, B, Mantzourani, E, Wilcox, CR, Thompson, N, Francis, NA

“…A web-based tool that helps people assess their sore throat, through the use of clinical prediction rules, taking throat swabs or saliva samples, and taking throat photographs, has the potential to improve self-management and help identify those who are the most and least likely to benefit from antibiotics. <br><strong> Objective:<br></strong> We aimed to develop a web-based tool to help patients and parents or carers self-assess sore throat symptoms and take throat photographs, swabs, and saliva samples for diagnostic testing. …”

Childhood bullying and mental health: understanding risk, resilience, and the role of anti-bullying interventions by Guzman Holst, C

Circadian rhythm and misalignment in the pathogenesis of metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD): an experimental medicine approach by Marjot, T

“…I show that 3-night shifts are associated with profound hepatic insulin resistance, a pathological hallmark of MASLD. This is likely to be related to a combination of circadian misalignment, sleep deprivation, and elevated light exposure during sleep. …”

Using cluster analysis to reconstruct dengue exposure patterns from cross-sectional serological studies in Singapore by Sangkaew, Sorawat, Tan, Li Kiang, Ng, Lee Ching, Ferguson, Neil M., Dorigatti, Ilaria

“…Conclusion: Cluster analysis is an unsupervised machine learning technique that can be applied to analyse PRNT antibody titres (without pre-established cut-off thresholds to indicate protection) to explore common patterns of DENV infection and infer the likely history of dengue exposure in a population.…”

Space weather radiation effects on geostationary satellite solid-state power amplifiers by Lohmeyer, W. Q., Cahoy, K. L.

“…Our observations suggest that internal charging from either past elevated radiation belt fluxes or some conditions related to relativistic electron enhancements (either causally or accidentally) is most likely responsible for the SSPA anomalies. We next consider the timing of these anomalies with respect to the local time (LT) and season. …”
