Independent and joint associations of grip strength and adiposity with all-cause and cardiovascular disease mortality in 403,199 adults
Youngwon Kim, Katrien Wijndaele, Duck-Chul Lee, Stephen J Sharp, Nick Wareham, Soren Brage
Jul 28, 2017
Background: Higher grip strength (GS) is associated with lower mortality risk. However, whether this association is independent of adiposity is uncertain.Objective: The purpose of this study was to examine the associations...
Making urinary extracellular vesicles a clinically tractable source of biomarkers for inherited tubulopathies using a small volume precipitation method
Biomarkers of inherited tubulopathies would be useful for clarifying diagnoses in patients where genetic screening is not readily available or where disease-attributable mutations are not found. Urinary extracellular vesicles...
Enzyme sequestration by the substrate
This paper is concerned with the potential multistability of protein concentrations in the cell. That is, situations where one, or a family of, proteins may sit at one of two or more different steady state concentrations in...

May 14, 2018
Intrinsic water use efficiency (Wi), the ratio of net CO2 assimilation (A) over stomatal conductance to water vapour (gs), is a complex trait used to assess plant performance. Improving Wi could lead in theory to higher...
Incidence of surrogacy in the USA and Israel and implications on women's health
PURPOSE: Gestational surrogacy (GS) has been researched in multiple qualitative studies. In contrast, quantitative aspects of the practice are conspicuously understudied. The present article assesses and compares the incidence...

Milky Way's Eccentric Constituents with Gaia, APOGEE, and GALAH
Abstract
We report the results of an unsupervised decomposition of the local stellar halo in the chemodynamical space spanned by the abundance measurements from APOGEE DR17 and...
Time of day is associated with paradoxical reductions in global signal fluctuation and functional connectivity.
The brain exhibits substantial diurnal variation in physiology and function, but neuroscience studies rarely report or consider the effects of time of day. Here, we examined variation in resting-state functional MRI (fMRI) in...
Long-range dispersal, stochasticity and the broken accelerating wave of advance.
Rare long distance dispersal events are thought to have a disproportionate impact on the spread of invasive species. Modelling using integrodifference equations suggests that, when long distance contacts are represented by a...
Nonequivalence of updating rules in evolutionary games under high mutation rates.
Moran processes are often used to model selection in evolutionary simulations. The updating rule in Moran processes is a birth-death process, i. e., selection according to fitness of an individual to give birth, followed by the...
