Complex social contagion makes networks more vulnerable to disease outbreaks

Marcel Salathé

Social network analysis is now widely used to investigate the dynamics of infectious disease spread. Vaccination dramatically disrupts disease transmission on a contact network, and indeed, high vaccination rates can potentially halt disease transmission a ...

In vivo enzymatic activity of acetylCoA synthetase in skeletal muscle revealed by (13)C turnover from hyperpolarized [1-(13)C]acetate to [1-(13)C]acetylcarnitine

Rolf Gruetter, Mor-Miri Mishkovsky, João Miguel das Neves Duarte, Tian Cheng, Arnaud Comment, Josefina Adriana Maria Bastiaansen

BACKGROUND: Acetate metabolism in skeletal muscle is regulated by acetylCoA synthetase (ACS). The main function of ACS is to provide cells with acetylCoA, a key molecule for numerous metabolic pathways including fatty acid and cholesterol synthesis and the ...

Deriving bio-equivalents from in vitro bioassays: Assessment of existing uncertainties and strategies to improve accuracy and reporting

Bio-equivalents (e.g., 17β-estradiol or dioxin equivalents) are commonly employed to quantify the in vitro effects of complex human or environmental samples. However, there is no generally accepted data analysis strategy for estimating and reporting bio-eq ...

Iterative FBP For Improved Reconstruction Of X-Ray Differential Phase-Contrast Tomograms

Michaël Unser, Cédric René Jean Vonesch, Peter Modregger, Masih Nilchian, Marco Stampanoni

X-ray differential phase-contrast tomography is a recently-developed modality for the imaging of low-contrast biological samples. Its mathematical model is based on the first derivative of the Radon transform and the images, in practice, are reconstructed ...
