Network models incorporating chloride dynamics predict optimal strategies for terminating status epilepticus.

Neurobiology of disease
Status epilepticus (SE), seizures lasting beyond five minutes, is a medical emergency commonly treated with benzodiazepines which enhance GABA receptor (GABAR) conductance. Despite widespread use, benzodiazepines fail in over one-third of patients, p...

Deep learning models link local cellular features with whole-animal growth dynamics in zebrafish.

Life science alliance
Animal growth is driven by the collective actions of cells, which are reciprocally influenced in real-time by the animal's overall growth state. Whereas cell behavior and animal growth state are expected to be tightly coupled, it is not yet determine...

A multi-faceted discovery strategy identifies functional antibodies binding to cysteine-rich domain 1 of hDKK1 for cancer immunotherapy via Wnt non-canonical pathway.

Oncogene
Wnt signaling is important in embryonic development and tumorigenesis. These biological effects can be exerted by the activation of the β-catenin-dependent canonical pathway or the β-catenin-independent non-canonical pathway. DKK1 is a potent inhibit...

In silico design strategies for tubulin inhibitors for the development of anticancer therapies.

Expert opinion on drug discovery
INTRODUCTION: Microtubules, composing of α, β-tubulin dimers, are important for cellular processes like proliferation and transport, thereby they become suitable targets for research in cancer. Existing candidates often exhibit off-target effects, ne...

The interaction of UBR4, LRP1, and OPHN1 in refractory epilepsy: Drosophila model to investigate the oligogenic effect on epilepsy.

Neurobiology of disease
Refractory epilepsy is an intractable neurological disorder that can be associated with oligogenic/polygenic etiologies. Through trio-based whole-exome sequencing analysis, we identified a clinical case of refractory epilepsy with three candidate gen...

A critical review on the welfare of Japanese quail in cage-free housing: Current knowledge and future perspectives.

Poultry science
The Japanese quail (Coturnix japonica) is an increasingly popular species in poultry production. Concern about poultry welfare, including quail, has resulted in a stronger focus for farms to transition to cage-free housing as highlighted by the 2020 ...

Automated Microbubble Discrimination in Ultrasound Localization Microscopy by Vision Transformer.

IEEE transactions on ultrasonics, ferroelectrics, and frequency control
Ultrasound localization microscopy (ULM) has revolutionized microvascular imaging by breaking the acoustic diffraction limit. However, different ULM workflows depend heavily on distinct prior knowledge, such as the impulse response and empirical sele...

Screening and preliminary analysis of antimicrobial peptide genes in Octopussinensis.

Fish & shellfish immunology
Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are small molecular peptides that widely exist in organisms to resist external microbial invasion and play a crucial role in the host's immune defense system. Owing to their functions of efficient broad-spectrum killing ...

Development of a deep learning method for phase retrieval image enhancement in phase contrast microcomputed tomography.

Journal of microscopy
Propagation-based imaging (one method of X-ray phase contrast imaging) with microcomputed tomography (PBI-µCT) offers the potential to visualise low-density materials, such as soft tissues and hydrogel constructs, which are difficult to be identified...

Harnessing the fish gut microbiome and immune system to enhance disease resistance in aquaculture.

Fish & shellfish immunology
The increasing global reliance on aquaculture is challenged by disease outbreaks, exacerbated by antibiotic resistance, and environmental stressors. Traditional strategies, such as antibiotic treatments and chemical interventions, are becoming less e...
