A Proxy-guided Workflow for Virtual Population DevelopmentNARA Subscribed
QSP models are increasingly being applied to drug development. Calibrating virtual populations (VPops) to clinical data helps explore patient variability, study populations of interest, and predict clinical outcomes for new therapies. In previous work, we have developed the QSP Toolbox, a library of tools and workflows for developing VPops. The aim is to create a VPop that fits clinical data from a variety of sources and with...
Halogenated molecules produced by marine algae are thought to be defensive secondary metabolites. The extraordinarily high concentration of bromoform in the seaweed Asparagopsis —up to 8% dry tissue weight—challenges the exclusivity of this paradigm. In this report, we provide evidence that the mbb1 gene which encodes the bromoform producing halogenase is among the most highly transcribed genes in Asparagopsis tissue, with the...
Following rapid climate change, tundra plant communities are experiencing extensive compositional shifts. A conservation concern is the potential encroachment of boreal species into the tundra (‘borealisation’). Tundra borealisation has been sporadically reported, but not systematically quantified. Here, we synthesised data from across 32 study areas, spanning 1137 plots and 287 vascular plant species, resurveyed between 1981...
Motivation Here, we make available a second version of the BioTIME database, which compiles records of abundance estimates for species in sample events of ecological assemblages through time. The updated version expands version 1.0 of the database by doubling the number of studies and includes substantial additional curation to the taxonomic accuracy of the records, as well as the metadata. Moreover, we now provide an R packag...
Aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems are linked through the reciprocal exchange of materials and organisms. Aquatic‐to‐terrestrial subsidies are relatively small in most terrestrial ecosystems, but they can provide high contents of limiting resources that increase consumer fitness and ecosystem production. However, they also may carry significant contaminant loads, particularly in anthropogenically impacted watersheds. Global ch...
Synapse formation is a critical step in neuronal development. Current knowledge is largely based on altricial rodents where synapse formation and maturation proceed largely postnatally. In precocially born mammals such as guinea pig presynapse and spine formation start well before birth. Here, we analysed the developmental expression of proteins associated with synapse formation and maturation together with the development of...
The importance of the soluble and colloidal pools for trace metal cycling in deep-sea pore watersOA Marine
Physical and chemical trace metal speciation are important for our understanding of metal cycling and potential toxicity to marine life. Trace metals can behave differently in diffusion processes or particle-solution interactions and have different bioavailabilities depending on their physical and chemical forms, which often depend on redox conditions. Here we investigated dissolved (< 0.2 µm) and soluble (< 0.02 µm) concentra...
Whole-brain gray matter maturation trajectories associated with autistic traits from adolescence to early adulthoodNARA Subscribed
A growing number of evidence supports a continued distribution of autistic traits in the general population. However, brain maturation trajectories of autistic traits as well as the influence of sex on these trajectories remain largely unknown. We investigated the association of autistic traits in the general population, with longitudinal gray matter (GM) maturation trajectories during the critical period of adolescence. We as...
