Global availability of medications and health technologies for kidney care: A multinational study from the ISN-GKHA by Kelly, DM, Jones, ESW, Barday, Z, Arruebo, S, Caskey, FJ, Damster, S, Donner, J, Jha, V, Levin, A, Nangaku, M, Saad, S, Tonelli, M, Ye, F, Okpechi, IG, Bello, AK, Johnson, DW

“…Public funding (and free at point of delivery) for medications for dialysis and kidney transplantation was available in only 24% (n = 39) and 30% (n = 50) of countries worldwide, with the proportion increasing in line with country income levels. There was reduced capacity for the management of CKD mineral bone disease in low-income countries (LICs) - serum parathyroid hormone was available in only 26% (n = 5) of LICs and the ability to administer non-calcium-based phosphate binders and cinacalcet was also very limited in LICs [16% (n = 3) and 5% (n = 1), respectively]. …”

Yeast9: a consensus genome-scale metabolic model for S. cerevisiae curated by the community by Zhang, Chengyu, Sánchez, Benjamín J., Li, Feiran, Cheng, Eiden Wei Quan, Scott, William T., Liebal, Ulf W., Blank, Lars M., Mengers, Hendrik G., Anton, Mihail, Rangel, Albert Tafur, Mendoza, Sebastián N., Zhang, Lixin, Nielsen, Jens, Lu, Hongzhong, Kerkhoven, Eduard J.

“…Well able to predict the strains' growth rates, fluxomics from those large-scale ssGEMs outperformed transcriptomics in predicting functional categories for all studied genes in machine learning models. Based on those findings we anticipate that Yeast9 will continue to empower systems biology studies of yeast metabolism.…”
