Identification of early-stage liver fibrosis by modifications in the interstitial space diffusive microenvironment using fluorescent single-walled carbon nanotubes

This study uses fluorescent single-walled carbon nanotubes to detect early-stage liver fibrosis by analyzing changes in the interstitial space's diffusive properties.

Temperature and transmission: novel estimates of the effects of temperature on the human malaria parasite, Plasmodium falciparum

The paper uses a mechanistic model and experimental data to estimate how temperature affects Plasmodium falciparum transmission in Anopheles gambiae, showing reduced transmission efficiency in warmer climates.

Prediction of mycotoxin response of DNA-wrapped nanotube sensor with machine learning

This paper uses machine learning to predict the response of DNA-SWCNT sensors to mycotoxins based on DNA sequences, achieving high accuracy in classification.

Simulating clinical trials for model-informed precision dosing: Using warfarin treatment as a use case

This paper develops a framework to simulate clinical trials for model-informed precision dosing, using warfarin treatment to compare three methods: neural network regression, deep reinforcement learning, and PKPD modelling.

The influence of selection, drift and immigration on the diversity of a tropical tree community

The paper estimates parameters of community diversity dynamics using time series data and applies them to a tropical forest dataset, showing directional selection has dominated over the last thirty years.

A Meta-analysis of Longevity Estimates of Mosquito Vectors of Disease

This study estimates mosquito lifespans using Bayesian hierarchical models across multiple field experiments, finding lifespans under 10 days and little evidence for senescence.

Tuning spherical cells into kinking helices in wall-less bacteria

This study expresses Spiroplasma MreB isoforms and fibrils in Mycoplasma to induce helical shapes and kink-like motility, revealing MreB5's role in helicity and suggesting additional factors are needed for swimming.

The dynamic trophic architecture of open-ocean protist communities revealed through machine- guided metatranscriptomics

This paper uses machine learning on metatranscriptomic data to predict the nutritional mode of oceanic protists and shows that mixotrophic populations adapt their nutrient acquisition strategies in response to environmental gradients.

Estimating the extrinsic incubation period of malaria using a mechanistic model of sporogony

This paper estimates the extrinsic incubation period of malaria using a mechanistic model of sporogony, finding greater variation in EIP than previously thought.

Endemic and epidemic human alphavirus infections in Eastern Panama, An Analysis of Population-Based Cross-Sectional Surveys

The paper investigates endemic and epidemic alphavirus infections in eastern Panama using serosurveys and statistical modeling, finding recent increases in MADV and VEEV infections.

Birds invest wingbeats to keep a steady head and reap the ultimate benefits of flocking

This study quantifies the biomechanical and energetic costs of flocking in homing pigeons, finding that paired flight increases route accuracy but raises aerodynamic costs by ~14%.
