2010 journal article

Medea selfish genetic elements as tools for altering traits of wild populations: A theoretical analysis.

Evolution, 65(4), 1149–1162.

author keywords: Dengue; introgression; malaria; maternal effect; mosquito; population replacement
MeSH headings : Animals; Culicidae / genetics; Disease Transmission, Infectious / prevention & control; Female; Fertility / genetics; Genetic Fitness / genetics; Genetics, Population; Genotype; Insect Vectors / genetics; Male; Models, Genetic; Repetitive Sequences, Nucleic Acid / genetics; Transgenes / genetics
TL;DR: This work derives equations that describe the conditions under which Medea elements with fitness costs will spread, and the equilibrium allele frequencies are achieved, and suggests that medea elements can drive population replacement under a wide range of conditions. (via Semantic Scholar)

2010 journal article

Gene-drive into insect populations with age and spatial structure: a theoretical assessment

Evolutionary Applications, 4(3), 415–428.

author keywords: age and spatial structure; engineered underdominance; gene drive; release threshold; theoretical assessment
TL;DR: This study demonstrates that to determine the best method of spatial release, and the total number of engineered insects that must be released, it is important to take into account the age and sex of the released insects and spatial structure of the population. (via Semantic Scholar)

2010 review

The pros and cons of phytoestrogens

[Review of ]. FRONTIERS IN NEUROENDOCRINOLOGY, 31(4), 400–419.

By: H. Patisaul* & W. Jefferson

author keywords: Soy; Isoflavones; Genistein; Equol; Endocrine disruption; Estrogen; ER alpha; ER beta; Brain; Hypothalamus
MeSH headings : Animals; Brain / drug effects; Brain / growth & development; Breast Neoplasms / prevention & control; Diethylstilbestrol / adverse effects; Endocrine Disruptors / adverse effects; Endocrine Disruptors / pharmacology; Female; Genitalia / drug effects; Genitalia / growth & development; Heart Diseases / prevention & control; Humans; Male; Menopause / drug effects; Menstrual Cycle / drug effects; Mice; Osteoporosis / prevention & control; Phytoestrogens / adverse effects; Phytoestrogens / pharmacology; Puberty / drug effects; Rats; Sexual Behavior / drug effects; Soybean Proteins / adverse effects; Soybean Proteins / pharmacology
TL;DR: As weak estrogen agonists/antagonists with molecular and cellular properties similar to synthetic endocrine disruptors such as Bisphenol A (BPA), the phytoestrogens provide a useful model to comprehensively investigate the biological impact of endocrine disruption in general.

2010 article

Neuroendocrine disruption: Historical roots, current progress, questions for the future

Gore, A. C., & Patisaul, H. B. (2010, October). FRONTIERS IN NEUROENDOCRINOLOGY, Vol. 31, pp. 395–399.

MeSH headings : Animals; Endocrine Disruptors / history; Endocrine Disruptors / toxicity; Female; History, 20th Century; History, 21st Century; Humans; Male; Neurosecretory Systems / drug effects; Rats
TL;DR: Rapidly emerging data from numerous labs conducting basic animal research, studies of inadvertent human exposures, and epidemiological analyses overwhelmingly point to the inevitable conclusion that EDC exposures are pervasive, and cause both short- and long-term harm to humans and wildlife.

2010 journal article

Quantitative Models for Germination and Infection of Pseudoperonospora cubensis in Response to Temperature and Duration of Leaf Wetness

PHYTOPATHOLOGY, 100(9), 959–967.

author keywords: cucurbit downy mildew; disease forecasting
MeSH headings : Cucumis melo / microbiology; Oomycetes / physiology; Plant Diseases / microbiology; Spores / physiology; Temperature; Time Factors; Water
TL;DR: Three response surface models based on modified forms of the Weibull function were evaluated for their ability to describe germination of sporangia and infection in response to temperature and leaf wetness duration and were used to construct risk threshold charts that can be used to estimate the potential risk for infection based on observed or forecasted temperature and Leaf Wetness duration.

Altered Ferritin Subunit Composition: Change in Iron Metabolism in Lens Epithelial Cells and Downstream Effects on Glutathione Levels and VEGF Secretion

INVESTIGATIVE OPHTHALMOLOGY & VISUAL SCIENCE, 51(9), 4437–4446.

By: J. Harned n, J. Ferrell n, M. Lall n, L. Fleisher n, S. Nagar n, M. Goralska n, M. McGahan n

MeSH headings : Animals; Apoferritins / genetics; Apoferritins / metabolism; Cell Nucleus / metabolism; Cells, Cultured; Culture Media, Conditioned / pharmacology; Cystine / pharmacokinetics; Dogs; Epithelial Cells / cytology; Epithelial Cells / metabolism; Glutathione / metabolism; Homeostasis / physiology; Hypoxia-Inducible Factor 1, alpha Subunit / metabolism; Iron / metabolism; Lens, Crystalline / cytology; Lens, Crystalline / metabolism; Oxidative Stress / physiology; Protein Subunits / genetics; Protein Subunits / metabolism; RNA, Small Interfering; Transfection; Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor A / metabolism
TL;DR: Iron storage in ferritin was greatly reduced by FHsiRNA, resulting in increased iron availability, as noted by a decrease in transferrin receptor levels and iron uptake from transferrin, and profound effects clearly demonstrate that maintenance of a specific H:L ratio is part of a basic cellular homeostatic mechanism.

Resolving the impact of waiting time distributions on the persistence of measles

Journal of The Royal Society Interface, 7(45), 623–640.

author keywords: measles; stochasticity; persistence
MeSH headings : Communicable Diseases / epidemiology; Disease Outbreaks; England / epidemiology; Humans; Measles / epidemiology; Population; Population Density; Seasons; Wales / epidemiology
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that, no matter the choice of persistence measure, appropriately parametrized models of measles demonstrate similar predictions for the level of the CCS, and two new statistical measures of persitence are introduced—fade-outs post epidemic and fade-out post invasion.
