Impact of short-term antiretroviral therapy (START) on some fibrinolytic markers in HIV-infected Nigerian adults: preliminary findings from the START study by Jeremiah ZA, Obazee Y, Okogun GR, Adias TC, Mgbere O, Essien EJ

“…It is unclear how long a patient can be exposed to ART before the effect of the drugs on the fibrinolytic markers becomes noticeable; this short-term antiretroviral therapy (START) study aimed to answer this question.Methods: Twenty human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-positive subjects on ART and 20 controls (non-ART) were progressively monitored for three months. …”

A Review of Deep Learning Based Speech Synthesis by Yishuang Ning, Sheng He, Zhiyong Wu, Chunxiao Xing, Liang-Jie Zhang

“…Speech synthesis, also known as text-to-speech (TTS), has attracted increasingly more attention. Recent advances on speech synthesis are overwhelmingly contributed by deep learning or even end-to-end techniques which have been utilized to enhance a wide range of application scenarios such as intelligent speech interaction, chatbot or conversational artificial intelligence (AI). …”

Transcriptome-Wide Detection of Intron/Exon Definition in the Endogenous Pre-mRNA Transcripts of Mammalian Cells and Its Regulation by Depolarization by Ling Liu, Urmi Das, Samuel Ogunsola, Jiuyong Xie

“…Here we report such pairings in rat GH3 pituitary cells by measuring the relative abundance of nuclear RNA-Seq reads at the intron start or end (RISE). Interestingly, RISE indexes are positively correlated between 5′ and 3′ splice sites specifically across introns or exons but inversely correlated with the usage of adjacent exons. …”
