Mesoporous carbon nanomaterials induced pulmonary surfactant inhibition, cytotoxicity, inflammation and lung fibrosis.

Journal of environmental sciences (China)
Environmental exposure and health risk upon engineered nanomaterials are increasingly concerned. The family of mesoporous carbon nanomaterials (MCNs) is a rising star in nanotechnology for multidisciplinary research with versatile applications in ele...

Gene Ontology-Based Analysis of Zebrafish Omics Data Using the Web Tool Comparative Gene Ontology.

Zebrafish
Gene Ontology (GO) analysis is a powerful tool in systems biology, which uses a defined nomenclature to annotate genes/proteins within three categories: "Molecular Function," "Biological Process," and "Cellular Component." GO analysis can assist in r...

Unsupervised Segmentation of 5D Hyperpolarized Carbon-13 MRI Data Using a Fuzzy Markov Random Field Model.

IEEE transactions on medical imaging
Hyperpolarized MRI with C-labelled compounds is an emerging clinical technique allowing in vivo metabolic processes to be characterized non-invasively. Accurate quantification of C data, both for clinical and research purposes, typically relies on th...

From insects to robots.

Arthropod structure & development

A lightweight, inexpensive robotic system for insect vision.

Arthropod structure & development
Designing hardware for miniaturized robotics which mimics the capabilities of flying insects is of interest, because they share similar constraints (i.e. small size, low weight, and low energy consumption). Research in this area aims to enable robots...

Optimal pitching axis location of flapping wings for efficient hovering flight.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics
Flapping wings can pitch passively about their pitching axes due to their flexibility, inertia, and aerodynamic loads. A shift in the pitching axis location can dynamically alter the aerodynamic loads, which in turn changes the passive pitching motio...

A new cyclic lipopeptide isolated from Bacillus amyloliquefaciens HAB-2 and safety evaluation.

Pesticide biochemistry and physiology
Bacillus is the most widely studied biocontrol agent and has been extensively used in the development of biopesticides and fungicides. In this study, a new cyclic lipopeptide was isolated from Bacillus amyloliquefaciens HAB-2 by column chromatography...

Rapid Life-Cycle Impact Screening Using Artificial Neural Networks.

Environmental science & technology
The number of chemicals in the market is rapidly increasing, while our understanding of the life-cycle impacts of these chemicals lags considerably. To address this, we developed deep artificial neural network (ANN) models to estimate life-cycle impa...

Elastic network model of learned maintained contacts to predict protein motion.

PloS one
We present a novel elastic network model, lmcENM, to determine protein motion even for localized functional motions that involve substantial changes in the protein's contact topology. Existing elastic network models assume that the contact topology r...
