Multi-access edge computing (MEC) is one of the emerging key technologies in fifth generation (5G) mobile networks, providing reduced end-to-end latency for applications and reduced load in the transport network.This paper proposes mechanisms to enhance user privacy in MEC within 5G.We consider a basic MEC usage scenario, where the user accesses an
ABSTRACT Staphylococcus aureus is a major pathogen associated with important diseases in humans and animals.Macrophages are a key component of the innate immune response to S.aureus infection and play a major role in disease outcomes.To investigate the adaptive evolution of S.aureus in response to macrophages, we developed an experimental infection
Abstract There is an urgent need for strategies to address the US epidemic of prescription opioid, heroin and fentanyl-related overdoses, misuse, addiction, and diversion.Evidence-based treatment such as medications for opioid use disorder (MOUD) are available but lack numbers of providers offering these services to meet the demands.Availability of
Tumors rich in stroma are associated with advanced stage and poor prognosis in colorectal adenocarcinoma (CRC).Abundance of stromal cells also has implications for genomic analysis of patient tumors as it may prevent detection of somatic mutations.As part of our efforts to interrogate stroma-cancer cell interactions and to identify actionable thera
Serotonin 2C receptors (5HT2C) are involved in serotonin-driven dynamic equilibrium adjustments responsible for homeostatic stability in brain structures that modulate behavior and emotions.Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) from the serotonin 2C receptor gene (HTR2C) have been associated with several neurological and mental disorders, includin
