The host-microbiome association is considered a coevolutionary process, in which the microbiome provides important functions for host development, physiology and health. However, the ecological and evolutionary forces shaping the diversity and struct...
BACKGROUND: Hookworm infection, a neglected tropical disease (NTD) causing iron-deficiency anaemia and malnutrition in low-income populations with poor sanitation, poses a considerable public health challenge in China and worldwide.
Biomedical imaging has developed as a non-invasive and effective approach for early disease diagnosis and health monitoring. Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a severe metabolic disease with a high global incidence, characterized by the improper secretion of...
Maternal-offspring gut bacteriomes are closely linked to each other; however, the effects of the maternal diet have not been fully elucidated. This study aimed to determine the effect of administration of octanoate, a medium-chain fatty acid as a phy...
Hundreds of rodent gait studies have been published over the past two decades, according to a PubMed search. Treadmill gait data, for example from the DigiGait system, generates over 30 + spatial and temporal measures. Despite this multi-dimensional ...
The heart is formed from diverse cell lineages that assemble into a functional unit, including the pericardium, a mesothelial sac that supports movement, homeostasis, and immune responses. However, its developmental origins remain unresolved. Here, w...
Collective intelligence in biological groups can be employed to inspire the control of artificial complex systems, such as swarm robotics. However, modeling for the social interactions between individuals is still a challenging task. Without loss of ...
Understanding how organisms detect environmental humidity remains a fundamental problem in sensory biology. While specialised sensory neurons in insect antennae can detect changes in humidity, the mechanism underlying this ability is not fully unders...
During the real-time recognition of porcine abnormal sounds, the accuracy and stability of the recognition method are crucial to guarantee a good performance. For this purpose, an improved Multiple-Support Vector Data Description (Multi-SVDD) is prop...
Atherosclerotic plaques are complex and heterogeneous structures, originating as fatty streaks in the vasculature and formed by the accumulation of lipids and foam cells. Over time, these lesions progress as inflammation, smooth muscle cell prolifera...
