Interpretable Surrogate Learning for Electronic Material Generation.

Despite many accessible AI models that have been developed, it is an open challenge to fully exploit interpretable insights to enable effective materials design and develop materials with desired properties for target applications. Here, we introduce an interpretable surrogate learning framework that can actively design and generate electronic materials (EMGen), akin to producing updated materials with requirements by screening all possible elements and fractions. Taking the materials system with required band gaps as a case study, EMGen exhibits a benchmarking predictive error and a running time of 1.

Guizhi Fuling Wan attenuates tetrachloromethane-induced hepatic fibrosis in rats via PTEN/AKT/mTOR signaling pathway.

Ethnopharmacological Relevance: Treatment options for hepatic fibrosis, a prevalent liver condition closely linked to cirrhosis, are currently limited. While Guizhi Fuling Wan (GFW), a pill derived from traditional Chinese herbs, has been reported to possess hepatoprotective properties, its therapeutic effect and mechanism in hepatic fibrosis remain elusive.

Aim Of The Study: This study aimed to evaluate the anti-fibrotic impact of GFW and its underlying mechanisms in both in vivo and in vitro settings.

Affective computing for human-machine interaction a bionic organic memristor exhibiting selective activation.

Affective computing, representing the forefront of human-machine interaction, is confronted with the pressing challenges of the execution speed and power consumption brought by the transmission of massive data. Herein, we introduce a bionic organic memristor inspired by the ligand-gated ion channels (LGICs) to facilitate near-sensor affective computing based on electroencephalography (EEG). It is constructed from a coordination polymer comprising Co ions and benzothiadiazole (Co-BTA), featuring multiple switching sites for redox reactions.

Multiple variation patterns of terpene synthases in 26 maize genomes.

Terpenoids are important compounds associated with the pest and herbivore resistance mechanisms of plants; consequently, it is essential to identify and explore terpene synthase (TPS) genes in maize. In the present study, we identified 31 TPS genes based on a pan-genome of 26 high-quality maize genomes containing 20 core genes (present in all 26 lines), seven dispensable genes (present in 2 to 23 lines), three near-core genes (present in 24 to 25 lines), and one private gene (present in only 1 line). Evaluation of ka/ks values of TPS in 26 varieties revealed that TPS25 was subjected to positive selection in some varieties.
