Podocyte-Specific Deletion of Murine CXADR Does Not Impair Podocyte Development, Function or Stress Response. by Christoph Schell, Oliver Kretz, Andreas Bregenzer, Manuel Rogg, Martin Helmstädter, Ulrike Lisewski, Michael Gotthardt, Pierre-Louis Tharaux, Tobias B Huber, Florian Grahammer

“…Interestingly, Cxadr is robustly expressed during podocyte development and in adulthood in response to glomerular injury. We therefore used a conditional transgenic approach to elucidate the function of Cxadr for podocyte development and stress response. …”

The Wald-type Confidence Interval on the Mean Response Function of the Poisson Inverse Gaussian Ridge Regression by Muhammad Qasim, Y. Murat Bulut, Kristofer Månsson

“…We also suggest using a Waldtype method to calculate the confidence interval on the mean response function of the PIGRR. To evaluate the performance of these proposed methods, we conducted a Monte Carlo simulation study, considering mean squared error and average confidence lengths as performance criteria. …”

Rational development of FMN-based orthogonal riboswitch that functions in response to specific non-cognate ligand by Divya Ojha, Ambadas B. Rode

“…Abstract Re-engineering natural riboswitches into orthogonal RNA switches by making them functional in response to exogenous ligands but unresponsive to endogenous cognate ligands is a promising yet less explored strategy for developing gene regulatory tools. …”

Dynamics of Mutualism-Competition-Predator System with Beddington-DeAngelis Functional Responses and Impulsive Perturbations by Xiaoming Fan, Zhigang Wang, Fuquan Jiang

“…We explore the dynamics of a class of mutualism-competition-predator interaction models with Beddington-DeAngelis functional responses and impulsive perturbations. Sufficient conditions for existence of positive periodic solution are established by using a continuation theorem in coincidence degree theory, which have been extensively applied in studying existence problems in differential equations and difference equations. …”
