Metal fluorides (e.g., FeF and FeF) have received attention as conversion-type cathode materials for Li-ion batteries due to their higher theoretical capacity compared to that of common intercalation materials.

- Small viral genomes lead to disorder in proteins, necessitating interactions with various binding partners for infection and pathogenicity.
- A segment of the flaviviral capsid protein, known as a molecular recognition feature (MoRF), changes from disordered to ordered when binding to proteins, highlighting its role in such interactions.
- Studies reveal that despite diverse sequences, MoRFs across flaviviruses show conserved interactions with host proteins, influencing processes like ribosome biogenesis and affecting disease progression and immune suppression.
Unlabelled: Insects frequently form heritable associations with beneficial bacteria that are vertically transmitted from parent to offspring. Long-term vertical transmission has repeatedly resulted in genome reduction and gene loss, rendering many such bacteria incapable of establishment in axenic culture. Among aphids, heritable endosymbionts often provide context-specific benefits to their hosts.

Feature importance methods promise to provide a ranking of features according to importance for a given classification task. A wide range of methods exist but their rankings often disagree and they are inherently difficult to evaluate due to a lack of ground truth beyond synthetic datasets. In this work, we put feature importance methods to the test on real-world data in the domain of cardiology, where we try to distinguish three specific pathologies from healthy subjects based on ECG features comparing to features used in cardiologists' decision rules as ground truth.

- Insects often have beneficial bacteria that they pass on to their offspring, but these bacteria typically can't be cultured independently due to loss of essential genes over time.
- Researchers successfully cultured a specific strain of bacteria from the pea aphid, showing it can reinfect embryos and is passed down through generations.
- This breakthrough allows for more experimental study of symbiotic relationships and could help explore how these bacteria protect aphids against pathogens.
