Integrative single‐cell transcriptomic analysis deciphers heterogeneous characteristics of gastrointestinal tract cancer by Chuwen Sun, Tong Li, Xin Jin, Zhihui Xiu, Hang Su, Huanming Yang, Ming Liu, Kui Wu

“…Abstract Background Gastrointestinal tract cancer (GIC), including oesophageal cancer (EC), gastric cancer (GC) and colorectal cancer (CRC), is characterised with high global incidence and mortality rates, with similar tumourigenic processes. However, the common and heterogeneous molecular features among GIC at single‐cell level remain poorly characterised. …”

Pitfalls in the diagnosis of apparent homozygous mutations: two cases of IL10RA deficiency inflammatory bowel disease and a literature review by Xiu Shi, Ziqing Ye, Lai Qian, Wenhui Hu, Ye Yang, Chunmeng He, Zhiheng Huang, Bingbing Wu, Ying Huang

“…Abstract Background In East Asia, IL10RA is the predominant pathogenic gene in patients with very early-onset inflammatory bowel disease (VEO-IBD), frequently characterised by refractory diarrhoea and severe perianal disease, resulting in elevated death rates. IL10RA-deficient IBD, an autosomal recessive genetic disorder, has been documented to be inherited through the conventional compound heterozygous or homozygous mutation patterns from both parents. …”

Vocal activity as a welfare indicator in killer whales in managed care by Javier Almunia, Jonas Philipp Lüke, Fernando Rosa

“…Using a custom detection algorithm and classification criteria, we focused on quantifying the rates of discrete call production throughout the day and across different seasons.ResultsThe results revealed strong diel patterns in vocal activity, with increased rates during the day, particularly around feeding and training sessions, and minimal vocal activity overnight. …”

Stress generation, relaxation and size control in confined tumor growth. by Huaming Yan, Daniel Ramirez-Guerrero, John Lowengrub, Min Wu

“…Experiments on tumor spheroids have shown that compressive stress from their environment can reversibly decrease tumor expansion rates and final sizes. Stress release experiments show that nonuniform anisotropic elastic stresses can be distributed throughout. …”

Resilience of the transit-oriented built environment against COVID-19 transmission: Evidence from major urban communities in Wuhan city by Yangguang Xiao, Hsi-Chuan Wang, Kojiro Sho

“…Utilising a combination of spatial and aspatial statistical techniques, we assess how population density, bus stop density, park density and proximity to medical facilities and parks influence infection rates. The findings reveal that whereas high population density in urban core areas correlates with lower infection rates, medical accessibility and bus stop density are significant determinants of transmission in peripheral regions. …”

Rapid radiations underlie most of the known diversity of life by John J. Wiens, Daniel S. Moen

“…Specifically, we quantify how much of Earth’s species richness is contained within rapid radiations (clades with high net diversification rates). We find that among the major clades of living organisms and among land plant phyla and animal phyla, >80% of known species richness is contained within the few clades in the upper 90th percentile for diversification rates in each group. …”
