DDX55 safeguards naïve T cell homeostasis by suppressing activation-promoting transposable elements.

Science immunology
Naïve T cells are maintained in a homeostatic state to preserve a stable T cell pool with diverse T cell receptor (TCR) repertoires, ensuring preparedness for priming. However, the underlying mechanisms controlling naïve T cell homeostasis and primin...

Brain stimulation preferentially influences long-range projections.

Science advances
Advances in brain stimulation have made it possible to target smaller and smaller regions for electromagnetic stimulation, in the hopes of producing increasingly focal neural effects. However, the brain is extensively interconnected, and the neurons ...

Robotic micromanipulation for patterned and complex organoid biofabrication.

Science advances
Organoids have emerged as powerful models for recapitulating tissue physiology and pathology in biomedical research. However, the need for consistent and complex manufacturing of organoids remains a challenge. The absence of standardization and quali...

Potentials and limitations in the application of Convolutional Neural Networks for mosquito species identification using wing images.

PLoS computational biology
This study addresses the pressing global health burden of mosquito-borne diseases by investigating the application of Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) for mosquito species identification using wing images. Conventional identification methods are ...

ProteinWeaver: A webtool to visualize ontology-annotated protein networks.

PloS one
Molecular interaction networks are a vital tool for studying biological systems. While many tools exist that visualize a protein or a pathway within a network, no tool provides the ability for a researcher to consider a protein's position in a networ...

Computational approaches for toxicology and Pharmacokinetic properties prediction.

Journal of pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics
Pharmacokinetics and toxicological studies how the body reacts to a specific administered substance, such as a drug, toxin, or food. Each substance experiences these four steps: absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion, which are the main ...

Cooperative actions of interneuron families support the hippocampal spatial code.

Science (New York, N.Y.)
Identifying the computational roles of different neuron families is crucial for understanding neural networks. Most neural diversity is embodied in various types of γ-aminobutyric acid-mediated (GABAergic) interneurons, grouped into four major famili...

Soft buckling achieves consistent large-amplitude deformation for pulse jetting underwater robots.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics
Jellyfish achieve efficient pulse jetting through large-amplitude, low-frequency deformations of a soft bell. This is made possible through large localised deformations at the bell margin. This paper develops a novel soft-robotic underwater pulse jet...

Enhanced electrophysiological recordings in acute brain slices, spheroids, and organoids using 3D high-density multielectrode arrays.

PloS one
Recent advances in three-dimensional (3D) biological brain models in vitro and ex vivo are creating new opportunities to understand the complexity of neural networks but pose the technological challenge of obtaining high-throughput recordings of elec...

FAM46B inhibits CS-induced oxidative stress and ferroptosis in bronchial epithelial cells via KLHL24.

International immunopharmacology
BACKGROUND: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), mainly caused by cigarette smoke (CS), is a global health concern. Ferroptosis is recognized as a key driver of COPD progression, yet its underlying mechanisms are unclear. This study aimed to...
