Minimum number of inertial measurement units needed to identify signiicant variations in walk patterns of overweight individuals walking on irregular surfaces by Sikandar, Tasriva, Rabbi, Mohammad Fazle, Kamarul Hawari, Ghazali, Altwijri, Omar, Almijalli, Mohammed, Ahamed, Nizam Uddin

“…Our results revealed two combinations of body locations, including the thigh and shank (i.e., the left and right shank, and the right thigh and right shank), from which IMU data should be collected to accurately classify walking patterns over real-world irregular surfaces (with classification accuracies of 97.24 and 95.87%, respectively). Our findings suggest that the identified numbers and locations of IMUs could potentially reduce the amount of data recorded and processed to develop a fall prevention system for overweight individuals.…”

Recycled melanoma-secreted melanosomes regulate tumor-associated macrophage diversification by Parikh, Roma, Parikh, Shivang, Berzin, Daniella, Vaknine, Hananya, Ovadia, Shai, Likonen, Daniela, Greenberger, Shoshana, Scope, Alon, Elgavish, Sharona, Nevo, Yuval, Plaschkes, Inbar, Nizri, Eran, Kobiler, Oren, Maliah, Avishai, Zaremba, Laureen, Mohan, Vishnu, Sagi, Irit, Ashery-Padan, Ruth, Carmi, Yaron, Luxenburg, Chen, Hoheisel, Jörg D, Khaled, Mehdi, Levesque, Mitchell P, Levy, Carmit

“…In melanoma patients, macrophages that are co-localized with AKT1 are correlated with disease aggressiveness, and immunotherapy non-responders are enriched in macrophages containing melanosome markers. Our findings suggest that interactions mediated by second-hand extracellular vesicles contribute to the formation of the metastatic niche, and that blocking the melanosome cues of macrophage diversification could be helpful in halting melanoma progression.…”

The Response Regulator OmpR Negatively Controls the Expression of Genes Implicated in Tilimycin and Tilivalline Cytotoxin Production in Klebsiella oxytoca by Varela-Nájera, Ramón G., De la Cruz, Miguel A., Soria-Bustos, Jorge, González-Horta, Carmen, Delgado-Gardea, Ma Carmen E., Yáñez-Santos, Jorge A., Cedillo, María L., Hirakawa, Hidetada, Fox, James G., Sánchez-Ramírez, Blanca, Ares, Miguel A.

“…Our research highlights the pivotal role of OmpR, a key regulator within the EnvZ/OmpR two-component system, in controlling the virulence factors associated with K. oxytoca. Our findings strongly indicate that OmpR is a repressor of the aroX and npsA genes, the first genes of aroX and NRPS operons, respectively, which are indispensable for producing these enterotoxins. …”

Dynamics of localized waves in one-dimensional random potentials : statistical theory of the coherent forward scattering peak by Lee, Kean Loon, Miniatura, Christian, Grémaud, Benoît

“…This is in perfect agreement with recent findings based on the nonlinear sigma model. In the stationary regime, the width of the CFS peak in momentum space is inversely proportional to the localization length, reflecting the exponential decay of the eigenfunctions in real space, while its height is exactly twice the background, reflecting the Poisson statistical properties of the eigenfunctions. …”

Consistent effects of biodiversity loss on multifunctionality across contrasting ecosystems by Fanin, Nicolas, Gundale, Michael J., Farrell, Mark, Ciobanu, Marcel, Baldock, Jeff A., Nilsson, Marie-Charlotte, Kardol, Paul, Wardle, David A.

“…However, the context-dependency of biodiversity effects also worked in opposing directions for different individual functions, meaning that similar multifunctionality values across contrasting ecosystems could potentially mask important differences in the effects of biodiversity on functioning among ecosystems. Our findings highlight that an understanding of the relative contribution of species or functional groups to individual ecosystem functions among contrasting ecosystems and their interactions (that is, complementarity versus competition) is critical for guiding management efforts aimed at maintaining ecosystem multifunctionality and the delivery of multiple ecosystem services.…”
