Polarity Sensor Based on Multivariate Lanthanide Metal-Organic Framework for Constructing Biosensing Platform.

It is significant but challenging to develop polarity sensors that can measure multiscenario polarity in a modular, customized, sensitive, and accurate manner.

Temporal spiking generative adversarial networks for heading direction decoding.

The spike-based neuronal responses within the ventral intraparietal area (VIP) exhibit intricate spatial and temporal dynamics in the posterior parietal cortex, presenting decoding challenges such as limited data availability at the biological population level. The practical difficulty in collecting VIP neuronal response data hinders the application of sophisticated decoding models. To address this challenge, we propose a unified spike-based decoding framework leveraging spiking neural networks (SNNs) for both generative and decoding purposes, for their energy efficiency and suitability for neural decoding tasks.

Time-Resolved Levodopa Cascade Polymerization Tuned by Bimetallic MOF Fluorescent Nanozyme and Boric Acid for Butyrylcholinesterase Activity Dual-Mode Assay.

A ratiometric fluorescence-photothermal dual-mode assay method is constructed for the detection of butyrylcholinesterase (BChE) activity based on time-resolved levodopa (L-DOPA) cascade polymerization.

Knock-in of a Stop Cassette into the locus increases mRNA expression and leads to ovarian cyst formation.

Wnt4 signaling is critical for mammalian female sex determination, in female reproductive organ development, in follicular and oocyte maturation, and in steroid hormone production. When Wnt4 function is impaired, female embryos undergo partial female to male sex-reversal. This phenotype is associated with the expression of a set of somatic genes that are typical for the male differentiation pathways such as those of the Leydig cells.

DP-ID: Interleaving and Denoising to Improve the Quality of DNA Storage Image.

In the field of storing images into DNA, the code tables and universal error correction codes have the potential to mitigate the effect of base errors to a certain extent. However, they prove to be ineffective in dealing with indels (insertion and deletion errors), resulting in a decline in information density and the quality of reconstructed image. This paper proposes a novel encoding and decoding method named DP-ID for storing images into DNA that improves information density and the quality of reconstructed image.

End-to-end learning strategy with channel-aided polar autoencoder in IM/DD optical interconnection.

An end-to-end (E2E) learning strategy with a channel-aided polar autoencoder (AE) is proposed and experimentally demonstrated in an intensity-modulation direct-detection optical interconnection system. With the global training of the E2E deep neural network, the learned fiber channel and transceiver characteristics are used to back-forward aid the channel indexes of AE, thus obtaining optimal polarization weight in polar encoding to mitigate signal impairments. The experimental results reveal that when the 50 GBaud PAM4 signals are transmitted over standard single mode fiber, the proposed polar AE by E2E learning strategy can effectively improve the received power sensitivity by 1.

Cell cycle traverse rate predicts long-term outcomes in a multi-institutional cohort of patients with triple-negative breast cancer.

Background: Ki67 index (KI) and mitotic index (MI) are proliferation markers with established prognostic value in breast carcinomas. While KI is evaluated immunohistochemically and reported as a percentage, MI is determined visually and reflects total mitotic cells in 10 high-power fields. Our objective was to integrate KI and MI into a novel metric; the cell cycle traverse rate (CCTR).

Mesenchymal stem cells lineage and their role in disease development.

Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are widely dispersed in vivo and are isolated from several tissues, including bone marrow, heart, body fluids, skin, and perinatal tissues. Bone marrow MSCs have a multidirectional differentiation potential, which can be induced to differentiate the medium in a specific direction or by adding specific regulatory factors. MSCs repair damaged tissues through lineage differentiation, and the ex vivo transplantation of bone marrow MSCs can heal injured sites.

Analysis of the Abasic Sites in Breast Cancer Patients With 5 Year Postoperative Treatment Without Recurrence in Taiwan.

Purpose: This prospective study aimed to investigate estrogen-induced carcinogenesis by assessing the background levels of abasic sites (apurinic/apyrimidinic sites, AP sites) in Taiwanese breast cancer patients following 5 years of postoperative treatment without recurrence (5-year survivors) (n = 70). The study also sought to compare the extent of these DNA lesions with those found in healthy controls and in breast cancer patients prior to treatment.
