Median fins in fish-like swimmers critically govern linear acceleration and maneuvering performance, yet their function remains underexplored in untethered robotic systems. To address this gap, we developed a free-swimming tuna-inspired robotic fish ... read more
Sex differences in fear memory are well documented, yet the role of menstrual cycle phases and ovarian hormone dynamics remains unclear. Here, we investigated the individual and combined effects of progesterone and estradiol on fear acquisition and w... read more

Water depth, as a direct indicator of a river's continuous underwater topography, provides crucial information for studies such as investigating channel morphological evolution, modeling sediment transport, and quantifying material flux. Conventional... read more
Background: Large-scale estimates of animal-to-human drug translation and the study characteristics associated with successful translation remain limited. The expanding preclinical literature also challenges manual evidence synthesis. We developed a ... read more
Intraspecific morphological variability presents a complex challenge for biological systematics and biomonitoring, particularly for organisms with high phenotypic plasticity, such as zooplankton. Morphological differences between individuals of the w... read more
Internal states such as motivation and task engagement influence cognitive functions. Working memory, which maintains information over time, is an essential component of cognition and is modulated by motivation. Here, we show motivational states modu... read more
Background. This study examines a competition based model (Cmodel) designed to capture the temporal dynamics of successive brain microstates derived from electroencephalography (EEG) recordings during eyes-open conditions. The analyzed data were obta... read more
Perturbations of genes with functional importance in T cells could be used to change the distribution of CD8 T cell states to enhance anti-tumor functions for cancer immunotherapies. We launched a world-wide computational challenge to predict the eff... read more
General-purpose large language models (LLMs) are trained on large corpora to acquire broad knowledge, but whether LLMs can replace, or augment, task-specific models is unclear. We evaluated LLMs on three real-world, clinically important tumor genomic... read more
RNA design has been hindered by the limited accuracy of 3D structure prediction. Here, we show that intricate RNA structures can be generated with current deep learning tools through accurate de novo design of pseudoknot secondary structures. In an E... read more
