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 “accept-reject” mechanism is required for the posterior computation. …”

Compositional editing of extracellular matrices by CRISPR/Cas9 engineering of human mesenchymal stem cell lines by Sujeethkumar Prithiviraj, Alejandro Garcia Garcia, Karin Linderfalk, Bai Yiguang, Sonia Ferveur, Ludvig Nilsén Falck, Agatheeswaran Subramaniam, Sofie Mohlin, David Hidalgo Gil, Steven J Dupard, Dimitra Zacharaki, Deepak Bushan Raina, Paul E Bourgine

“…In this study, we demonstrated the exploitation of CRISPR/Cas9 as a high precision system for editing the composition and function of eECMs. Human mesenchymal stromal/stem cell (hMSC) lines were modified to knock out vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and Runt-related transcription factor 2 (RUNX2) and assessed for their capacity to generate osteoinductive cartilage matrices. …”
