    • This study explores how researchers analytical choices affect the reliability of scientific findings. Most discussions of reliability problems in science focus on systematic biases. We broaden the lens to emphasize the idiosyncrasy of conscious and unconscious decisions that researchers make during data analysis. We coordinated 161 researchers in 73 research teams and observed their research decisions as they used the same data to independently test the same prominent social science hypothesis: that greater immigration reduces support for social policies among the public. In this typical case of social science research, research teams reported both widely diverging numerical findings and substantive conclusions despite identical start conditions. Researchers expertise, prior beliefs, and expectations barely predict the wide variation in research outcomes. More than 95% of the total variance in numerical results remains unexplained even after qualitative coding of all identifiable decisions in each teams workflow. This reveals a universe of uncertainty that remains hidden when considering a single study in isolation. The idiosyncratic nature of how researchers results and conclusions varied is a previously underappreciated explanation for why many scientific hypotheses remain contested. These results call for greater epistemic humility and clarity in reporting scientific findings.

  • Cell-mediated reduction of human β-defensin 1 : a major role for mucosal thioredoxin
  • 2013
  • Ingår i: Mucosal Immunology. - : Nature Publishing Group. - 1933-0219 .- 1935-3456. ; 6:6, s. 1179-1190
  • Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
    • Human β-defensin 1 (hBD-1) is an antimicrobial peptide expressed by epithelia and hematopoietic cells. We demonstrated recently that hBD-1 shows activity against enteric commensals and Candida species only after its disulfide bonds have been reduced by thioredoxin (TRX) or a reducing environment. Here we show that besides TRX, glutaredoxin (GRX) is also able to reduce hBD-1, although with far less efficacy. Moreover, living intestinal and lymphoid cells can effectively catalyze reduction of extracellular hBD-1. By chemical inhibition of the TRX system or specific knockdown of TRX, we demonstrate that cell-mediated reduction is largely dependent on TRX. Quantitative PCR in intestinal tissues of healthy controls and inflammatory bowel disease patients revealed altered expression of some, although not all, redox enzymes, especially in ulcerative colitis. Reduced hBD-1 and TRX localize to extracellular colonic mucus, suggesting that secreted or membrane-bound TRX converts hBD-1 to a potent antimicrobial peptide in vivo.
