Predicting drug combination side effects based on a metapath-based heterogeneous graph neural network.

In recent years, combined drug screening has played a very important role in modern drug discovery. Generally, synergistic drug combinations are crucial in treatment for many diseases. However, the toxic side effects of drug combinations are probably increased with the increase of drugs numbers, so the accurate prediction of toxic side effects of drug combinations is equally important.

The role of spatial processing in verbal serial order working memory.

In a sequence, at least two aspects of information-the identity of items and their serial order-are maintained and supported by distinct working memory (WM) capacities. Verbal serial order WM is modulated by spatial processing, reflected in the Spatial Position Association of Response Codes (SPoARC) effect-the left-beginning, right-end positional association between space and serial position of verbal WM memoranda. We investigated the individual differences in this modulation with both behavioral and neurobiological approaches.

The highly conserved PIWI-interacting RNA CRAPIR antagonizes PA2G4-mediated NF110-NF45 disassembly to promote heart regeneration in mice.

Targeting the cardiomyocyte cell cycle is a promising strategy for heart repair following injury. Here, we identify a cardiac-regeneration-associated PIWI-interacting RNA (CRAPIR) as a regulator of cardiomyocyte proliferation. Genetic ablation or antagomir-mediated knockdown of CRAPIR in mice impairs cardiomyocyte proliferation and reduces heart regenerative potential.

Identification and correction of phase delay errors for hemispherical resonator gyroscopes.

The phase-delay error of the circuit system is the primary source of the output error observed in the hemispherical resonator gyroscope (HRG). Additionally, the temperature-dependent nature of the phase-delay error results in a deterioration of the initial calibration parameters, which, in turn, significantly impairs the performance of the gyroscope in its intended application. This paper proposes a self-calibration method to effectively suppress the impact of phase-delay error on the application performance of gyroscopes.

Research on the impact of land use and land cover changes on local meteorological conditions and surface ozone in the north China plain from 2001 to 2020.

Chicken adipose tissue is differentially involved in primary and secondary regional immune response to NDV through miR-20a-5p-NR4A3 pathway.

The mammalian adipose tissue (AT) plays a key role in regulating immune function and anti-infective protection to maintain tissue regional homeostasis. However, it is still unclear whether there are differences in the participation of AT in primary and secondary immune response, and whether avian AT has the similar immune function characteristics to mammals. In this study, we used Newcastle disease virus (NDV) attenuated vaccine to induce primary and secondary immune response in chickens, and the changes of the key regulatory gene NR4A3 (nuclear receptor subfamily 4 group A member 3) of T cells activation and its targeted miR-20a-5p were detected by quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR).
