  • Development and validation of a predictive nomogram for postoperative upper limb lymphedema in breast cancer patients: a retrospective cohort study

    Development and validation of a predictive nomogram for postoperative upper limb lymphedema in breast cancer patients: a retrospective cohort study

    In this study, we identified several key factors associated with the risk of developing postoperative upper limb lymphedema (PULL) in breast cancer patients. Our findings revealed that older age, higher BMI, advanced TNM stage, hypertension, and…

  • Replay and representation dynamics in the hippocampus of freely flying bats

    Cognitive functions for navigation and memory rely on emergent properties of neural ensembles in the hippocampus, such as activity replay1–5 and theta sequences6–9. Yet, whether and how these phenomena generalize across species with distinct…

    Cell lines

    The cell lines of HEK293T, MDA-MB-468, Hs578T and MCF7 were cultured in DMEM Medium (Gibco, Cat: C11995500BT) with 10% Fetal bovine serum (FBS, ExCell, Cat: FSD500). The cell lines of HCC1806 and HCC1937 were cultured in RPMI 1640…

    Differentially expressed genes related to ARDS

    By comparing ARDS samples with control groups, a total of 3152 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were identified, showing significant differences between the two groups (corrected p < 0.05,…

  • Quantifying the intra- and inter-species community interactions in microbiomes by dynamic covariance mapping

    Quantifying the intra- and inter-species community interactions in microbiomes by dynamic covariance mapping

    Dynamic covariance mapping (DCM)

    Theory

    We first provide a formal introduction to the ecological and mathematical theory behind DCM and its biological intuition. Without loss of generality, the microbiome as an ecological community can be described…
