The midgut epithelium of mosquitoes adjusts cell proliferation and endoreplication to respond to physiological challenges
Hematophagous mosquitoes transmit many pathogens that cause human diseases. Pathogen acquisition and transmission occur when female mosquitoes blood feed to acquire nutrients for reproduction. The midgut epith... (Source: BMC Biology)

Sensors, Vol. 24, Pages 886: Integrated Simulation and Calibration Framework for Heating System Optimization
Frank Puppe
In a time where sustainability and CO2 efficiency are of ever-increasing importance, heating systems deserve special considerations. Despite well-functioning hardware, inefficiencies may arise when controller parameters are not well chosen. While monitoring systems could help to identify such issues, they lack improvement suggestions. One possible solution would be the use of digital twins; however, critical values such as the water consumption of the residents can often not be acquired for accurate models. To address this issue, coarse models can be employed to generate quantitative predictions, which ca...

GSE250022 The effects on the deficient of PRMT1 on gene expression for the acquisition of chemoresistance in triple negative breast cancer cells.
Contributors : Takehiro Yamamoto ; Makoto SuematsuSeries Type : Expression profiling by high throughput sequencingOrganism : Homo sapiensIn cancer cells, metabolic programming is regulated by gene expression and/or by post-translational modifications of metabolic enzymes. The correlation between metabolic characteristics of breast cancer and their drug sensitivity has attracted much attention. Here, we investigated whether PRMT1, a major arginine methyltransferase, affects the expression levels of metabolic enzymes by mRNA expression profiling of wild-type and PRMT1 knockout cells of the breast cancer cell line MDA-MB-46...

The latest developments with internet-based psychological treatments for depression
Expert Rev Neurother. 2024 Feb;24(2):171-176. doi: 10.1080/14737175.2024.2309237. Epub 2024 Feb 6.ABSTRACTINTRODUCTION: Internet-based psychological treatments for depression have been around for more than 20 years. There has been a continuous line of research with new research questions being asked and studies conducted.AREAS COVERED: In this paper, the author reviews studies with a focus on papers published from 2020 and onwards based on a Medline and Scopus search. Internet-based cognitive behavior therapy (ICBT) programs have been developed and tested for adolescents, older adults, immigrant groups and to handle a soci...
