An article published in Genetics Selection Evolution presents SIMplyBee: a holistic simulator of honeybee populations and breeding programs that helps testing breeding and conservation strategies and their effect on future genetic gain and variability.
] by simulating individual honeybees, individual-level and colony-level quantitative values, and colony events that can affect genetic and phenotypic variation in a population.SIMplyBee provides a valuable research platform for testing different population-management decisions and answering various questions regarding the design of breeding schemes.
Users might be interested in the effect of mating and management decisions on the genetic diversity in a population along the whole genome or only at thelocus; in comparing how different migration or import practices and associated policies affect genetic diversity; or how to design a conservation program to preserve genetic diversity.

Immunological and clinical implications of immune checkpoint blockade in human cancer - Archives of Pharmacal ResearchImmune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) such as anti-PD-1 and anti-CTLA-4 therapy are now FDA-approved treatment options for different cancer types. However, the therapeutic efficacy of ICIs varies substantially among cancer types and patients, and only a limited proportion of cancer patients benefit clinically from ICIs. To improve the therapeutic efficacy of cancer treatments involving ICI, the mechanisms of response to ICIs and the heterogeneous pattern of immune checkpoint receptor expression need to be better understood. Here, we review recent studies on ICIs in human cancer, providing the necessary basis for the rational design of immunotherapy and for appropriate patient selection.

Correlation between the triglyceride-glucose index and the onset of atrial fibrillation in patients with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease - Diabetology & Metabolic SyndromeBackground Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is associated with atrial fibrillation (AF). Insulin resistance (IR) is the main cause of the high prevalence of AF in NAFLD patients. The triglyceride-glucose index (TyG) is a novel IR-related indicator implicated in the incidence and severity of NAFLD. However, the role of TyG in determining the risk for AF in patients with NAFLD remains unclear. Methods A retrospective study was conducted on 912 patients diagnosed with NAFLD via ultrasonography. These patients were divided into two groups: (1) NAFLD+ AF and (2) NAFLD+ non-AF. Least Absolute Shrinkage and Selection Operator (LASSO) regression was used to assess the correlation between the TyG index and the high risk for AF. A receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was constructed to evaluate the predictive value for the TyG index for AF. Restricted cubic splines (RCS) were used to test the linear correlation between TyG and the risk for AF. Results A total of 204 patients with AF and 708 patients without AF were included in this study. The LASSO logistic regression analysis showed that TyG was an independent risk factor for AF (odds ratio [OR] = 4.84, 95% confidence interval [CI] 2.98–7.88, P 0.05). In addition, the correlation between TyG and AF was a consistent finding in subgroup analysis. Furthermore, ROC curve analysis showed that TyG levels combined with traditional risk factors improved the predictive value for atrial fibrillation. Conclusion The TyG index is useful in assessing the risk for atrial fibrillation in patients with NAFLD. Patients with NAFLD and increased TyG indices have higher risks for atrial fibrillation. Therefore, TyG indices should be assessed when managing patients with NAFLD.
