Contact tracing is an imperfect tool for controlling COVID-19 transmission
Contact tracing has the benefit of only affecting those that are at a higher risk of infection. However, it hasn't worked well in the UK. In this modelling study we examined why contract tracing has been ineffective and found that the populations adherence to the scheme is the most important factor.
Insight into RNA binding proteins regulation opens new frontiers in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis
RNA binding proteins play multiple roles in RNA metabolism, and their mutation, delocalization and/or altered expression have been proposed to cause amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. Elucidating the underlying molecular mechanisms is of crucial importance to design therapeutic approaches.
Adaptive allocation of COVID-19 vaccines
Dynamic prioritization strategies that are adapted to the evolving epidemiological situation allow achieving multiple objectives simultaneously.
The New Platforms of Health Care
For the past century, the dominant locations for assessing health and delivering health care have been clinics and hospitals. That is about to change.
