Targeted sequencing enhances detection of pangolin trafficking hotspots and dynamics of both domestic and global trade markets
Pangolins have become emblematic of the global wildlife trade crisis due to intense trafficking for consumption and traditional medicine. Coupled with habitat loss, the illicit trade in pangolins has severely threatened wild populations. Genetic identification of distinct pangolin populations is an…

Serum cholinesterase as a biomarker for sepsis-associated immunosuppression via Hub gene RORA
Background: Sepsis-induced immunosuppression is a key factor contributing to high mortality rates. However, suitable biomarkers for routine clinical monitoring of immune function are currently lacking. Serum cholinesterase levels are markedly diminished in sepsis and are associated with unfavorable…

Structured water molecules drive activation and G protein selectivity in the GPR174 receptor
G protein-coupled receptor 174 (GPR174), a key modulator of autoimmune responses, maintains immune homeostasis through distinct G protein signaling pathways, particularly Gs and Gi. Although the structural mechanism of lysophosphatidylserine (LysoPS)-activated GPR174 in the Gs pathway has been…

Evaluation of non-invasive hemoglobin measurement in blood donors at a tertiary care hospital, Bangkok, Thailand
Background: Hemoglobin (Hb) assessment is crucial to prevent blood donation from anemic donors. Most measurements are invasive and painful; however, an alternative, non-invasive hemoglobin measurement is available. This study aimed to compare non-invasive and point-of-care invasive hemoglobin test…

The mediating role of insomnia symptoms in the association between perceived neighborhood danger and depressive symptoms in later life
Perceived neighborhood danger poses significant risks to mental health in later life, yet the underlying psychological mechanisms remain unclear. Given that environmental stressors can compromise sleep health, we conceptualize insomnia symptoms as a potential mediator in the association between…

Factors associated with high viral load among HIV clients aged 15 years and older receiving treatment in Tanga city council, Tanzania: A facility-based cross-sectional study
Background: High viral load indicates poor treatment outcomes among people living with HIV (PLHIV) on antiretroviral therapy (ART). However, there is a dearth of evidence on specific factors associated with high viral load in resource-limited settings, including Tanzania. Aim: The aim of this study…

Large language models are poor clinical administrators: An evaluation of structured queries in real-world electronic health records
Large language models (LLMs) have shown promise in interpreting clinical free-text like provider notes. There is limited evidence on tabular electronic health record (EHR) tasks. Our objective was to evaluate the accuracy of LLMs on structured EHR administrative tasks using direct prompting…

Environmental uncertainty shapes human effort learning
Humans show remarkable flexibility in adapting their behaviour to constantly changing environments. This flexibility relies on the ability to regulate motivation in response to changing motivational demands. Typically, the amount of effort required to achieve a certain goal is not precisely…

Weak selection and stochastic processes limit the emergence of antigenic variants during household transmission of influenza A viruses
Influenza viruses undergo antigenic drift, the gradual accumulation of mutations that cause antigenic changes in the viral surface proteins hemagglutinin (HA) and neuraminidase (NA). Although selection for antigenic variants is detectable on the global scale, the processes by which antigenic…

An IL-1, IL-17, and IL-22 cytokine circuit controls vulvovaginal candidiasis independently of estrogen
Vulvovaginal candidiasis (VVC) affects >75% of women, with considerable morbidity and high medical cost burden. While Type 17 cytokines (IL-17, IL-22) are critical for oral and dermal immunity to C. albicans, their role in VVC has been less clear. Th17 gene signatures are potently upregulated in…
