Progress of personalized medicine of cystic fibrosis in the times of efficient CFTR modulators by Burkhard Tümmler, Sophia Theres Pallenberg, Anna-Maria Dittrich, Simon Y. Graeber, Lutz Naehrlich, Olaf Sommerburg, Marcus A. Mall

“…CFTR modulators are a novel class of drugs that improve defective posttranslational processing, trafficking and function of mutant CFTR. By April 2025, triple combination therapy with the CFTR potentiator ivacaftor (IVA) and the CFTR correctors elexacaftor (ELX) and tezacaftor (TEZ) has been approved in Europe for the treatment of all pwCF who do not carry two minimal function CFTR mutations. …”

Advances in the study of the role of high-frequency mutant subunits of the SWI/SNF complex in tumors by Jiumei Zhao, Jing Zhu, Yu Tang, Kepu Zheng, Ziwei Li

“…As a catalytic subunit of the SWI/SNF complex, SMARCA4 has ATPase activity that catalyzes the hydrolysis of ATP to produce energy and power the chromatin remodeling complex, which is critical to the function of the SWI/SNF complex. The study data indicate that approximately 25% of cancers have one or more SWI/SNF subunit genetic abnormalities, and at least nine different SWI/SNF subunits have been identified as having repeated mutations multiple times in various cancers, suggesting that mutations affecting SWI/SNF subunits may introduce vulnerabilities to these cancers. …”

Public security patrol path planning recommendation method based on wolf-pack optimization algorithm using DAF and BRS by Dongxing Wang, Gaomin Zhang, Fangbo Wu, Zhiyang Huang, Yiping Chen

“…Firstly, an optimization objective function regarding the public security patrol path planning (S3P-Function) was abstracted from the actual situation; Moreover, this paper proposed an improved wolf-pack optimization algorithm named DAF-BRS-CWOA using Dynamic-Adjustment-Factor(DAF) and Balanced-Raid-Strategy (BRS), and DAF devoted to adjust the overall wolf-pack running strategy by dynamically adjusting the number of airdropped wolves during the stage of Summon-Raid while BRS with symmetric property was to improve both the algorithm’s global exploration as well as the local development capabilities by increasing the number of checking locations, that means not only checking the reverse position of the current wolf, but also the positions generated according to certain rules between the reverse position of the current wolf and the current optimal wolf during the stage of Summon-Raid; Finally, DAF-BRS-CWOA was adopted to optimize S3P-Function, forming a public security patrol path planning recommendation method based on DAF-BRS-CWOA (S3PRM-DAF-BRS-CWOA). 30 independent numerical experiments were conducted on 20 public classical datasets by DAF-BRS-CWOA compared with GA, PSO, WDX-WPOA. …”

Platelet recruitment kinetics are impacted by von Willebrand factor quality in hemostatic adjuncts by Kimberly A. Thomas, Alice Liu, David L. Bark, Jr., Philip C. Spinella, Susan M. Shea

“…As Cryo contains additional concentrated plasma proteins involved in hemostasis compared with FibCon, we hypothesized that Cryo and PR-CryoFC would result in more rapid and effective clot formation. To evaluate the hemostatic capacity of these adjuncts, we simulated TIC (dilution, hyperfibrinolysis) in an ex vivo model and administered Cryo, PR-CryoFC, and FibCon, then performed hemostatic assessment to include viscoelastometry, thrombin generation, and a microfluidic model of vessel injury. …”
