Global road extraction using a pseudo-label guided framework: from benchmark dataset to cross-region semi-supervised learning by Xiaoyan Lu, Yanfei Zhong, Zhuo Zheng, JunJue Wang, Dingyuan Chen, Yu Su

“…Recent advancements in satellite remote sensing technology and computer vision have enabled rapid extraction of road networks from massive, Very High-Resolution (VHR) satellite imagery. However, current road extraction methods face the following limitations: 1) Insufficient availability of accurate and diverse training datasets for global-scale road extraction; 2) Costly and time-consuming manual labeling of millions of road samples; and 3) Limited generalization ability of deep learning models across diverse global contexts, resulting in better performance for regions well-represented in the training dataset, but worse performance when faced with domain gaps. …”

Apolipoprotein L1 (APOL1): Consideration of Molecular Evolution, Interaction with APOL3, and Impact of Splice Isoforms Advances Understanding of Cellular and Molecular Mechanisms o... by Razi Khalaila, Karl Skorecki

“…In the absence of a consistent mechanistic explanation for differential kidney injury, we propose pursuing three interrelated avenues of investigation informed by prior epidemiological and mechanistic evidence linking them to APOL1’s cytotoxicity: (1) Molecular evolution of APOL1 haplotypes in human populations, (2) APOL1 splicing and consequent splice isoforms, (3) Interaction of APOL1 with other APOL gene family members, prioritizing APOL3. In the current study, we use reanalysis of population genetics datasets to resolve the haplotype contexts of all protein-altering APOL1 variants, uncovering previously unrecognized variant–haplotype couplings. …”
