Vital signal sensing and manipulation of a microscale organ with a multifunctional soft gripper.

Science robotics
Soft grippers that incorporate functional materials are important in the development of mechanically compliant and multifunctional interfaces for both sensing and stimulating soft objects and organisms. In particular, the capability for firm and deli...

Reconfigurable Micro- and Nano-Structured Camouflage Surfaces Inspired by Cephalopods.

ACS nano
Wrinkled surfaces and materials are found throughout the natural world in various plants and animals and are known to improve the performance of emerging optical and electrical technologies. Despite much progress, the reversible post-fabrication tuni...

The information theory of developmental pruning: Optimizing global network architectures using local synaptic rules.

PLoS computational biology
During development, biological neural networks produce more synapses and neurons than needed. Many of these synapses and neurons are later removed in a process known as neural pruning. Why networks should initially be over-populated, and the processe...

Automatic Prediction of Ischemia-Reperfusion Injury of Small Intestine Using Convolutional Neural Networks: A Pilot Study.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
Acute intestinal ischemia is a life-threatening condition. The current gold standard, with evaluation based on visual and tactile sensation, has low specificity. In this study, we explore the feasibility of using machine learning models on images of ...

Prediction of lysine formylation sites using support vector machine based on the sample selection from majority classes and synthetic minority over-sampling techniques.

Biochimie
Lysine formylation is a newly discovered and mostly interested type of post-translational modification (PTM) that is generally found on core and linker histone proteins of prokaryote and eukaryote and plays various important roles on the regulation o...

Mulberry leaves ameliorate diabetes via regulating metabolic profiling and AGEs/RAGE and p38 MAPK/NF-κB pathway.

Journal of ethnopharmacology
ETHNOPHARMACOLOGICAL RELEVANCE: Mulberry leaves have been used as traditional hypoglycemic medicine-food plant for thousand years in China. According to traditional Chinese medicine theory, type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) belongs to the category of X...

Embodied intelligence via learning and evolution.

Nature communications
The intertwined processes of learning and evolution in complex environmental niches have resulted in a remarkable diversity of morphological forms. Moreover, many aspects of animal intelligence are deeply embodied in these evolved morphologies. Howev...

Prediction of GABA receptor antagonist-induced convulsion in cynomolgus monkeys by combining machine learning and heart rate variability analysis.

Journal of pharmacological and toxicological methods
Drug-induced convulsion is a severe adverse event; however, no useful biomarkers for it have been discovered. We propose a new method for predicting drug-induced convulsions in monkeys based on heart rate variability (HRV) and a machine learning tech...

Integrating Statistical and Machine-Learning Approach for Meta-Analysis of Bisphenol A-Exposure Datasets Reveals Effects on Mouse Gene Expression within Pathways of Apoptosis and Cell Survival.

International journal of molecular sciences
Bisphenols are important environmental pollutants that are extensively studied due to different detrimental effects, while the molecular mechanisms behind these effects are less well understood. Like other environmental pollutants, bisphenols are bei...

Effective gene expression prediction from sequence by integrating long-range interactions.

Nature methods
How noncoding DNA determines gene expression in different cell types is a major unsolved problem, and critical downstream applications in human genetics depend on improved solutions. Here, we report substantially improved gene expression prediction a...
