Exploring the repository of de novo-designed bifunctional antimicrobial peptides through deep learning.

eLife
Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are attractive candidates to combat antibiotic resistance for their capability to target biomembranes and restrict a wide range of pathogens. It is a daunting challenge to discover novel AMPs due to their sparse distribu...

AI-aided chronic mixture risk assessment along a small European river reveals multiple sites at risk and pharmaceuticals being the main risk drivers.

Environment international
The vast amount of registered chemicals leads to a high diversity of substances occurring in the environment and the creation of new substances outpaces chemical risk assessment as well as monitoring strategies. Hence, risk assessment strategies need...

Sparse connectivity enables efficient information processing in cortex-like artificial neural networks.

Frontiers in neural circuits
Neurons in cortical networks are very sparsely connected; even neurons whose axons and dendrites overlap are highly unlikely to form a synaptic connection. What is the relevance of such sparse connectivity for a network's function? Surprisingly, it h...

Prediction of acute toxicity of organic contaminants to fish: Model development and a novel approach to identify reactive substructures.

Journal of hazardous materials
In this study, count-based Morgan fingerprints (CMF) were employed to represent the fundamental chemical structures of contaminants, and a neural network model (R² = 0.76) was developed to predict acute fish toxicity (AFT) of organic compounds. Model...

Leveraging AlphaFold models to predict androgenic effects of endocrine-disrupting chemicals through zebrafish androgen receptor analysis.

Toxicology mechanisms and methods
The androgen receptor (AR) activation by androgens is vital for tissue development, sexual differentiation, and reproductive attributes in zebrafish (). However, our understanding of the molecular mechanisms behind their activation remains limited. I...

Interpretable deep learning for deconvolutional analysis of neural signals.

Neuron
The widespread adoption of deep learning to model neural activity often relies on "black-box" approaches that lack an interpretable connection between neural activity and network parameters. Here, we propose using algorithm unrolling, a method for in...

Machine Learning for Quantitative Prediction of Protein Adsorption on Well-Defined Polymer Brush Surfaces with Diverse Chemical Properties.

Langmuir : the ACS journal of surfaces and colloids
Polymer informatics has attracted increasing attention because machine learning can establish quantitative structure-property relationships in polymer materials. Understanding and controlling protein adsorption on polymer surfaces are crucial for var...

Liquid-bodied antibiofilm robot with switchable viscoelastic response for biofilm eradication on complex surface topographies.

Science advances
Recalcitrant biofilm infections pose a great challenge to human health. Micro- and nanorobots have been used to eliminate biofilm infections in hard-to-reach regions inside the body. However, applying antibiofilm robots under physiological conditions...

FlyVISTA, an integrated machine learning platform for deep phenotyping of sleep in .

Science advances
There is great interest in using genetically tractable organisms such as to gain insights into the regulation and function of sleep. However, sleep phenotyping in has largely relied on simple measures of locomotor inactivity. Here, we present FlyVI...

Capillariid diversity in archaeological material from the New and the Old World: clustering and artificial intelligence approaches.

Parasites & vectors
BACKGROUND: Capillariid nematode eggs have been reported in archaeological material in both the New and the Old World, mainly in Europe and South America. They have been found in various types of samples, as coprolites, sediments from latrines, pits,...
