Many complex social, biological, or physical systems are characterized as networks, and recovering the missing links of a network could shed important lights on its structure and dynamics. A good topological representation is crucial to accurate link modeling and prediction, yet how to account for the kaleidoscopic changes in link formation patterns remains a challenge, especially for analysis in cross-domain studies. We propose a new link representation scheme by projecting the local environment of a link into a "dipole plane", where neighboring nodes of the link are positioned via their relative proximity to the two anchors of the link, like a dipole.

The inflammasomes play critical roles in numerous pathological conditions largely through IL-1β and/or IL-18. However, additional effectors have been implied from multiple studies. In this study, through two independent mass spectrometry-based secretome screening approaches, we identified galectin-3 as an effector protein of the NLRP3 inflammasome.
