BACKGROUND: Traditional statistical methods have dominated research on peripartum depression (PPD), but innovative approaches may provide deeper insights. This study aims to predict the impact factors of PPD using elastic net regression (ENR) combine...
Modelling biological systems depends on the availability of data and components of the system at hand. As our understanding of these systems evolves, the ability to gradually refine models by adding new components of different formalisms covering sto...
Transcriptome-wide association studies (TWAS) have been increasingly applied to identify (putative) causal genes for complex traits and diseases. TWAS can be regarded as a two-sample two-stage least squares method for instrumental variable (IV) regre...
Understanding the permeation of biomolecules through cellular membranes is critical for many biotechnological applications, including targeted drug delivery, pathogen detection, and the development of new antibiotics. To this end, computer simulation...
BACKGROUNDCeramides are sphingolipids that play causative roles in diabetes and heart disease, with their serum levels measured clinically as biomarkers of cardiovascular disease (CVD).METHODSWe performed targeted lipidomics on serum samples from ind...
BACKGROUND: The cryopreservation process induces osmotic stress, membrane changes and production of reactive oxygen species resulting in damage to the spermatozoa. Together, the presence of oxygen in the extender aggravates the oxidative stress that ...
BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) is one of the most frequent diseases with monogenic inheritance. Previous data indicated that the heterozygous form occurred in 1:250 people. Based on these reports, around 36,000-40,000 people ...
