Quantitative analysis of coronary artery from computed tomography angiography images by Cui, Hengfei

“…When correlating with myocardial perfusion assessment or coronary blood flow, lumen area evaluation is expected to be preferable to diameter quantification [5, 6, 7, 8]. …”

Genetic analysis of normal human phenotypes within the people of the British Isles by Meena, D

“…Most, if not all, novel variants (suggestive genome-wide significant) presented in this research have strong functional biological support behind the preliminary statistical observations and will be helpful in understanding the visible pigmentation differences among humans as well as the genetics underlying food preferences.</p> <p>In summary, I have taken advantage of a sampling criterion of having four grandparents from the same rural area, minimizing the risk of spurious genotype- phenotype correlations that are due to population stratification. …”

Lactate cross-feeding between Bifidobacterium species and Megasphaera indica contributes to butyrate formation in the human colonic environment by Zhao, Sainan, Lau, Raymond, Zhong, Yang, Chen, Ming-Hsu

“…To validate this hypothesis, three bacterial species (B. longum, B. pseudocatenulatum, and M. indica) were isolated from fecal cultures fermenting hydrolyzed xylan; pairwise cocultures were conducted between the Bifidobacterium and M. indica isolates; the microbial interactions were determined based on bacterial genome information, cell growth, substrate consumption, metabolite quantification, and metatranscriptomics. The results indicated that two Bifidobacterium isolates contained distinct gene clusters for xylan utilization and expressed varying substrate preferences. …”
