Maternal infections during pregnancy and the risk of childhood leukaemia in the offspring: Evidence from large-scale cohort studies by He, J

“…In the I4C analysis, maternal urinary tract infection (HR, 1.68; 95% CI, 1.10-2.58) and respiratory tract infection (HR, 1.54; 95% CI, 1.05-2.26) were associated with increased risk of childhood leukaemia. Influenza-like illness showed a similar pattern but with less precise estimates (HR, 1.62; 95% CI, 0.76-3.42). …”

From node embedding to community embedding on graphs by Cavallari, Sandro

“…On such platforms, the users’ information is explicitly provided and most of the information is implicitly contained in the links between different users. In robotics, it is possible to achieve more a “human-like” movement of an artificial skeleton if we represent the interaction of each major joint rather than adopting an independent approach. …”

Tumor cell-intrinsic signals promoting tolerance and adaptation to oncogenic kinase inhibition by Flower, Cameron Timothy

“…By leveraging targeted and untargeted mass spectrometry (MS) of endogenous tyrosine-phosphorylated proteins, which enables phosphosite-specific quantification of TK signaling networks, I report several cell line-specific vulnerabilities not predicted to exist at the genetic level, and the consensus observation that sustained activity of SRC family kinases (SFKs), or of the SRC-like kinases ABL1/2, is an important contributor to GM-TKI tolerance in all lines. …”

Fluid-fluid displacement in porous-media microfluidics by Qiu, Yu

“…Many questions remain, however, regarding how the macroscopic displacement patterns are controlled by the microscale interactions between the fluid interface and the solid surface in systems under geometric confinement like microfluidic devices and porous media. This fluid-solid interaction—exacerbated by the roughness inherent to all natural and engineered surfaces—introduces a large energy dissipation near the solid boundary that challenges our ability to interpret laboratory experiments and develop mathematical models. …”
