Definition of the estrogen negative feedback pathway controlling the GnRH pulse generator in female mice
The mechanisms underlying the homeostatic estrogen negative feedback pathway central to mammalian fertility have remained unresolved. Direct measurement of gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) pulse generator activity in freely...

Reasoning about privacy in mobile application install decisions
Data sharing has become prevalent with the rapid growth of mobile technologies. A lack of awareness and understanding of privacy practices often results in the installation of privacy-invasive applications (apps) which could...
Strong links promote the emergence of cooperative elites
Abstract: The maintenance of cooperative behavior is fundamental for the prosperity of human societies. Empirical studies show that high cooperation is frequently associated with the presence of strong social ties, but they are...
Comparing dualities and gauge symmetries
We discuss some aspects of the relation between dualities and gauge symmetries. Both of these ideas are of course multi-faceted, and we confine ourselves to making two points. Both points are about dualities in string theory...

Comparison of responsiveness of BILAG-2004, SLEDAI-2000 and BILAG Systems Tally (BST)

OBJECTIVE: To compare the responsiveness of BILAG-2004 and SLEDAI-2000 disease activity indices and determine if there was any added value in combining BILAG-2004, BILAG System Tally (BST) or simplified BST (sBST) with...

Behavioral and Gene Regulatory Responses to Developmental Drug Exposures in Zebrafish.
Developmental consequences of prenatal drug exposure have been reported in many human cohorts and animal studies. The long-lasting impact on the offspring-including motor and cognitive impairments, cranial and cardiac anomalies...
Research activity amongst DCM research priorities.
INTRODUCTION: Degenerative cervical myelopathy (DCM) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder. DCM is common (estimated prevalence, 2% of adults) and significantly impacts quality of life. The AO Spine RECODE-DCM (Research...
A trip down memory lane with Retrovirology.
Fifteen years ago, Retrovirology was amongst the first open-access journals to be established through Biomed Central, instigated by our late Founding Editor Dr. Kuan-Teh Jeang. Since then, in what seemed like a rather daring...
Effectiveness and resource requirements of test, trace and isolate strategies for COVID in the UK.
We use an individual-level transmission and contact simulation model to explore the effectiveness and resource requirements of various test-trace-isolate (TTI) strategies for reducing the spread of SARS-CoV-2 in the UK, in the...
Incidental coronary artery calcification on non-gated CT thorax correlates with risk of cardiovascular events and death.
OBJECTIVES: To assess coronary artery calcification (CAC) on non-contrast non-ECG-gated CT thorax (NC-NECG-CTT) and to evaluate its correlation with short-term risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) events and death. METHODS...
