The birth and death of microRNA genes in Drosophila
Jian Lu,Yang Shen,Qingfa Wu,Supriya Kumar,Bin Z. He,Suhua Shi,Richard W. Carthew,San Ming Wang,Chung-I Wu,Chung-I Wu +9 more
TL;DR: It is suggested that there is a high birth rate of new miRNA genes, accompanied by a comparably high death rate in Drosophila, and that a small fraction of surviving miRNAs may later on become moderately or highly expressed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Health inequalities and infectious disease epidemics: a challenge for global health security.
TL;DR: It is argued that international partners, from WHO to individual countries, must grapple with the social determinants of health and existing health inequalities and extend their vision to include these factors so that disease that may start among socially disadvantaged subpopulations does not go unnoticed and spread across borders.
Journal ArticleDOI

Sandra Crouse Quinn,Supriya Kumar,Vicki S. Freimuth,Donald Musa,Nestor Casteneda-Angarita,Kelley M. Kidwell +5 more

Journal ArticleDOI
The Social Ecological Model as a Framework for Determinants of 2009 H1N1 Influenza Vaccine Uptake in the United States
TL;DR: Variables at each level of the social ecological model were significant predictors of uptake as well as of intent to get the vaccine, suggesting that interventions targeting multiple levels of the framework would be more effective than interventions aimed at a single level.
Journal ArticleDOI
