Vitamin D Deficiency and Risk of Cardiovascular Disease
Background— Vitamin D receptors have a broad tissue distribution that includes vascular smooth muscle, endothelium, and cardiomyocytes. A growing body of evidence suggests that ...
GeneMarkS: a self-training method for prediction of gene starts in microbial genomes. Implications for finding sequence motifs in regulatory regions
Improving the accuracy of prediction of gene starts is one of a few remaining open problems in computer prediction of prokaryotic genes. Its difficulty is caused by the absence ...
The evolution of cooperation in strategic alliances: Initial conditions or learning processes?
We examine how the learning, along several dimensions (environment, task, process, skills, goals), that takes place in strategic alliances between firms mediates between the ini...
College sophomores in the laboratory: Influences of a narrow data base on social psychology's view of human nature.
For the 2 decades prior to 1960, published research in social psychology was based on a wide variety of subjects and research sites. Content analyses show that since then such r...
European LeukemiaNet recommendations for the management of chronic myeloid leukemia: 2013
Abstract Advances in chronic myeloid leukemia treatment, particularly regarding tyrosine kinase inhibitors, mandate regular updating of concepts and management. A European Leuke...
Super-resolution from a single image
Methods for super-resolution can be broadly classified into two families of methods: (i) The classical multi-image super-resolution (combining images obtained at subpixel misali...
Calculating statistical power in Mendelian randomization studies
In Mendelian randomization (MR) studies, where genetic variants are used as proxy measures for an exposure trait of interest, obtaining adequate statistical power is frequently ...
Empirical Evidence for Selective Reporting of Outcomes in Randomized Trials
The reporting of trial outcomes is not only frequently incomplete but also biased and inconsistent with protocols. Published articles, as well as reviews that incorporate them, ...
Assessing the Probability That a Positive Report is False: An Approach for Molecular Epidemiology Studies
Abstract Too many reports of associations between genetic variants and common cancer sites and other complex diseases are false positives. A major reason for this unfortunate si...
Enhanced Neurofibrillary Degeneration in Transgenic Mice Expressing Mutant Tau and APP
JNPL3 transgenic mice expressing a mutant tau protein, which develop neurofibrillary tangles and progressive motor disturbance, were crossed with Tg2576 transgenic mice expressi...
Formation of Neurofibrillary Tangles in P301L Tau Transgenic Mice Induced by Aβ42 Fibrils
β-Amyloid plaques and neurofibrillary tangles (NFTs) are the defining neuropathological hallmarks of Alzheimer's disease, but their pathophysiological relation is unclear. Injec...
