  Colorectal cancer (CRC) is one of the most common cancers in Latin America and the Caribbean, with the highest rates reported for Uruguay, Brazil and Argentina. We provide a global snapshot of the CRC patterns, how screening is performed, and compared/contrasted to the genetic profile of Lynch syndrome (LS) in the region. From the literature, we find that only nine (20%) of the Latin America and the Caribbean countries have developed guidelines for early detection of CRC, and also with a low adherence. We describe a genetic profile of LS, including a total of 2,685 suspected families, where confirmed LS ranged from 8% in Uruguay and Argentina to 60% in Peru. Among confirmed LS, path_MLH1 variants were most commonly identified in Peru (82%), Mexico (80%), Chile (60%), and path_MSH2/EPCAM variants were most frequently identified in Colombia (80%) and Argentina (47%). Path_MSH6 and path_PMS2 variants were less common, but they showed important presence in Brazil (15%) and Chile (10%), respectively. Important differences exist at identifying LS families in Latin American countries, where the spectrum of path_MLH1 and path_MSH2 variants are those most frequently identified. Our findings have an impact on the evaluation of the patients and their relatives at risk for LS, derived from the gene affected. Although the awareness of hereditary cancer and genetic testing has improved in the last decade, it is remains deficient, with 39%–80% of the families not being identified for LS among those who actually met both the clinical criteria for LS and showed MMR deficiency.

  Recordings of extracellular electrical, and later also magnetic, brain signals have been the dominant technique for measuring brain activity for decades. The interpretation of such signals is however nontrivial, as the measured signals result from both local and distant neuronal activity. In volume-conductor theory the extracellular potentials can be calculated from a distance-weighted sum of contributions from transmembrane currents of neurons. Given the same transmembrane currents, the contributions to the magnetic field recorded both inside and outside the brain can also be computed. This allows for the development of computational tools implementing forward models grounded in the biophysics underlying electrical and magnetic measurement modalities. LFPy (LFPy.readthedocs.io) incorporated a well-established scheme for predicting extracellular potentials of individual neurons with arbitrary levels of biological detail. It relies on NEURON (neuron.yale.edu) to compute transmembrane currents of multicompartment neurons which is then used in combination with an electrostatic forward model. Its functionality is now extended to allow for modeling of networks of multicompartment neurons with concurrent calculations of extracellular potentials and current dipole moments. The current dipole moments are then, in combination with suitable volume-conductor head models, used to compute non-invasive measures of neuronal activity, like scalp potentials (electroencephalographic recordings; EEG) and magnetic fields outside the head (magnetoencephalographic recordings; MEG). One such built-in head model is the four-sphere head model incorporating the different electric conductivities of brain, cerebrospinal fluid, skull and scalp. We demonstrate the new functionality of the software by constructing a network of biophysically detailed multicompartment neuron models from the Neocortical Microcircuit Collaboration (NMC) Portal (bbp.epfl.ch/nmc-portal) with corresponding statistics of connections and synapses, and compute in vivo-like extracellular potentials (local field potentials, LFP; electrocorticographical signals, ECoG) and corresponding current dipole moments. From the current dipole moments we estimate corresponding EEG and MEG signals using the four-sphere head model. We also show strong scaling performance of LFPy with different numbers of message-passing interface (MPI) processes, and for different network sizes with different density of connections. The open-source software LFPy is equally suitable for execution on laptops and in parallel on high-performance computing (HPC) facilities and is publicly available on GitHub.com.

  KRAS mutation is a well‐known marker for poor response to targeted treatment and patient prognosis in microsatellite stable (MSS) colorectal cancer (CRC). However, variation in clinical outcomes among patients wild‐type for KRAS underlines that this is not a homogeneous population. Here, we evaluated the prognostic impact of KRAS alternative splicing in relation to mutation status in a single‐hospital series of primary MSS CRCs (N = 258). Using splicing‐sensitive microarrays and RNA sequencing, the relative expression of KRAS‐4A versus KRAS‐4B transcript variants was confirmed to be down‐regulated in CRC compared to normal colonic mucosa (N = 41; p ≤ 0.001). This was independent of mutation status, however, gene set enrichment analysis revealed that the effect of splicing on KRAS signaling was specific to the KRAS wild‐type subgroup, in which low relative KRAS‐4A expression was associated with a higher level of KRAS signaling (p = 0.005). In concordance, the prognostic value of KRAS splicing was also dependent on mutation status, and for patients with Stage I–III KRAS wild‐type MSS CRC, low relative KRAS‐4A expression was associated with inferior overall survival (HR: 2.36, 95% CI: 1.07–5.18, p = 0.033), a result not found in mutant cases (pinteraction = 0.026). The prognostic association in the wild‐type subgroup was independent of clinicopathological factors, including cancer stage in multivariable analysis (HR: 2.68, 95% CI: 1.18–6.09, p = 0.018). This suggests that KRAS has prognostic value beyond mutation status in MSS CRC, and highlights the importance of molecular heterogeneity in the clinically relevant KRAS wild‐type subgroup.

  A characteristic feature of primary Sjögren’s syndrome (pSS) is the destruction of salivary and lacrimal glands mediated by mononuclear cell infiltration. Adipocytes can also occupy a large portion of the salivary gland (SG) tissue area, although little is known about their significance in pSS. We have previously investigated adipose tissue infiltration in SG biopsies from pSS patients and non-SS sicca controls. Our findings indicated the distinct incidence of adipose tissue replacement in pSS patients, where adipocytes were detected in interleukin (IL) 6 rich regions. We now aimed to examine the development of adipocytes in the SG microenvironment, and delineate their possible involvement in immune reactions. A microarray analysis was performed on SG from 6 pSS patients and 6 non-SS controls, where the expression levels of genes involved in adipose tissue development, inflammatory responses, and lymphoma development were assessed. Real-time PCR was carried out on SG from 14 pSS patients and 15 non-SS controls to account for IL6, IL10, and IL17 mRNA levels. Immunohistochemical staining of frozen SG tissue using IL17 was also conducted. Our results indicate signalling pathways identified in SG of pSS patients displayed genes leading to prominent adipose tissue development and reduced mitochondrial fatty acid beta-oxidation (ARID5B, OXCT1, BDH1, SOX8, HMGCS2, FTO, ECHS1, PCCA, ACADL and ACADVL), inflammatory responses (IL1R1, IL7R, IL10RA, IL15, IL18RAP, CCL2, CCL5, CCL22, CXCR6, CD14, and CD48), and lymphoma development via JAK-STAT signalling (STAT2, TYK2, EBI3, FAS, TNFRSF1B, MAP3K8, HMOX1, LTB, TNF, STAT1, and BAK1). Genes involved in interferon production and signalling were also detected (IRF1, IRF9, and IRF7), in addition to IL6, IL10, and IL17. Higher mRNA levels of IL6, IL17 and IL10 were observed in the SG of pSS patients compared to controls. Moreover, IL17 positive cells were detected mostly interstitially in the SG and around adipocytes, also within the focal infiltrates. In conclusion, adipocyte development seems to be more prominent in the SG of pSS patients, where adipose tissue replacement is also evident. Whether this is due to disease progression, or the repair process, remains to be investigated. Detection of IL17 positive adipocytes in the target organ suggests their involvement in immune reactions.

  Cardiac computational models, individually personalized, can provide clinicians with useful diagnostic information and aid in treatment planning. A major bottleneck in this process can be determining model parameters to fit created models to individual patient data. However, adjoint-based data assimilation techniques can now rapidly estimate high dimensional parameter sets. This method is used on a cohort of heart failure patients, capturing cardiac mechanical information and comparing it with a healthy control group. Excellent fit (R2 ≥ 0.95) to systolic strains is obtained, and analysis shows a significant difference in estimated contractility between the two groups.

  Neurons are cells in the brain that are able to rapidly change the electric field across their cell membrane. These changes allow neurons to communicate with each other and is the basis for the complex computations in the brain. Understanding how neurons communicate and the properties of neuronal networks is essential for neuroscience students. Traditionally, students draw networks with pen and paper and qualitatively deduce features of the network by analyzing the static drawings. Here, we present Neuronify, an app that allows students to draw the same networks on a computer or mobile device and run dynamic simulations without programming. The students can test their analysis by running the network and check their predictions against the outcome. Educational software (apps) can improve science education by providing an interactive way of learning about complicated topics that are hard to explain with text and static illustrations. Such software is readily available in many areas of natural science such as physics and electrical engineering. However, few educational apps are available for simulation of neural networks. Neuronify allows the user to easily create and explore neural networks in a plug-and-play simulation environment. The user can drag and drop network elements such as neurons, electrical stimulation tools and recording devices. The components can then easily be connected to one another. Building intuition for how neurons and neural networks behave has been a top priority in designing Neuronify. We aim to provide a low entry point to simulation-based neuroscience. Most undergraduate students do not have the computational experience to create their own neural simulator. Neuronify offers them an opportunity to build and experiment with neural networks in a graphical and easy-to-understand interface. By playing around with the networks, the students can develop a good understanding of their properties. To facilitate the use of Neuronify in teaching, a set of premade common network motifs is provided, performing functions such as input summation and detection of direction of stimulus movement. Neuronify is developed in C++ and QML using the cross-platform application framework Qt. It has been downloaded more than 30,000 times since its launch and is available on smart phones (Android, iOS), tablet computers as well personal computers (Windows, Mac, Linux).

  The field of biology relies heavily on computations. This is not well reflected in education and the current undergraduate curriculum has little computational content. This results in a discontinuity between the education received by the students and the problems they face after graduation. The end result is that the students are not equipped to meet the requirements of modern research nor the tasks awaiting them in the industry. To remedy this problem, a new course, BIOS 1100 - Introduction to Modelling in Biology, will be held for the first time at the University of Oslo in fall 2017. Currently, no available book combines biology and programming at an introductory level in a satisfactory way. Most textbooks teach both topics separately or expect the reader to know either biology or programming from before. We have therefore written our own textbook to be used as curriculum in this course. This book aims to teach programming and modelling to first year biology students through examples from biology. The book is based on a philosophy of just-in-time teaching where the programming concepts are introduced just when they are needed to solve the problem in hand. This puts the programming content in an unusual order in comparison to the traditional computer science curriculum while keeping the biology students motivated by the problems they solve. The examples are mainly from the three branches of biology: population dynamics, bioinformatics and evolution. The purpose is to give biology students a practical understanding of programming and mathematical models. This will enable the understanding of mathematical models and encourage critical thinking. Programming allows much more realistic and inspiring problems to be addressed, enabling students to work on current research topics early on. The textbook is written using DocOnce (created by Hans Petter Langtangen), which enables us to compile the book to both LaTeX/PDF, HTML and Jupyter Notebooks.
