Determining fragility and robustness to missing data in binary outcome meta-analyses, illustrated with conflicting associations between vitamin D and cancer mortality

This manuscript makes a valuable contribution to the concept of fragility of meta-analyses via the so-called 'ellipse of insignificance for meta-analyses' (EOIMETA). The strength of evidence is solid, ...

E(spl)m4 Directly Antagonizes Traf4 to Inhibit JNK Signaling in Drosophila

The authors identify the Bearded-type small protein E(spl)m4 as a physical and genetic interactor of TRAF4 in the Drosophila wing disc. These valuable findings with potential biomedical relevance are, ...

Sensitivity of the human temporal voice areas to nonhuman primate vocalizations

This valuable study shows that regions of the human auditory cortex that respond strongly to voices are also sensitive to vocalizations from closely related primate species. The study is ...
