Insulin Secretion Defect in Children and Adolescents with Obesity: Clinical and Molecular Genetic Characterization by Helena Enders-Seidlitz, Klemens Raile, Maolian Gong, Angela Galler, Peter Kuehnen, Susanna Wiegand

“…We calculated Matsuda index, the area under the curve (AUC (Ins/Glu)), and an oral disposition index (ISSI-2) to estimate insulin resistance and beta-cell function. We identified patients with IGR and low insulin secretion (maximum insulin during OGTT<200 mU/l) and tested a subgroup using next generation sequencing to identify possible mutations in 103 candidate genes. …”

Aerodynamic Optimization Method for Propeller Airfoil Based on DBO-BP and NSWOA by Changjing Guo, Zhiling Xu, Xiaoyan Yang, Hao Li

“…The NACA4412 airfoil is selected as the research subject, optimizing the original airfoil at three angles of attack (2°, 5° and 10°). The CST (Class Function/Shape Function Transformation) airfoil parametrization method is used to parameterize the original airfoil, and Latin hypercube sampling is employed to perturb the original airfoil within a certain range to generate a sample space. …”

Systems genetic analysis of osteoblast-lineage cells. by Gina Calabrese, Brian J Bennett, Luz Orozco, Hyun M Kang, Eleazar Eskin, Carlos Dombret, Olivier De Backer, Aldons J Lusis, Charles R Farber

“…In conclusion, we have identified a physiologically relevant gene network and used it to discover novel genes and regulatory mechanisms involved in the function of osteoblast-lineage cells. Our results highlight the power of harnessing natural genetic variation to generate co-expression networks that can be used to gain insight into the function of specific cell-types.…”

Approximate Bayesian Computation for a Dual-Failure-Modes Models and Its Application to Failure Times Data by Mustapha Muhammad, Badamasi Abba, Jinsen Xiao

“…We practically demonstrate approximate Bayesian computation (ABC)-Gibbs scheme using Kolmogorov-Smirnov as distance function; this method is a simulation-based scheme, which the explicit formulation of the likelihood function is not required, hence, suitable for a complex model or big data, where the &#x201C;accept-reject&#x201D; mechanism is required for the posterior computation. …”

Bone organoid 3D bioprinting: Construction and application in bone regeneration by Tang Zihui, Zhong Chang, Luo Jiayu, Wang Qi, Zhou Ping

“…In recent years, organoid technology has emerged as a promising strategy for bone regeneration, but developing bone organoids with complex structure and function still faces many hurdles. Three-dimensional (3D) bioprinting, a revolutionary additive manufacturing technology, can precisely deposit bioink layer by layer with a specific pattern to construct the required 3D structure, which provides a simpler and more efficient method for generating bone organoids. …”
