In this paper we show that in Schizosaccharomyces pombe, mating-specific cell adhesion is dependent on the exocyst subunit Sec8p, but independent of the exocyst subunit Exo70p. In the absence of Exo70p, the forespore membrane does not develop properly and the leading edge protein Meu14p is abnormally distributed. Additionally, the spindle pole body is aberrant in a significant number of exo70Delta asci. In both the sec8-1 and the exo70Delta mutants, the development of the spore cell wall is impaired. These results show that different steps of sexual development are differentially regulated by the exocyst and suggest the existence of exocyst subcomplexes with distinct roles in mating.

Empathy is an aspect of social cognition which has gained much attention to explain sexual violence perpetration, with research resulting in mixed and contradictory findings. Another aspect of social cognition, which has been linked to, and even used synonymously with, cognitive empathy is Theory of Mind (ToM). However, research is severely lacking on the role which ToM may play in sexual violence.

HIV/AIDS remains a significant public health challenge in China, particularly among men who have sex with men (MSM). Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis (PrEP) and non-occupational post-exposure Prophylaxis (nPEP) are effective interventions to reduce HIV transmission in high-risk populations. This study assessed awareness and utilization levels of PrEP and nPEP among young MSM (YMSM) aged 18-29 in China and examined associated factors.

Emotion recognition through artificial intelligence and smart sensing of physical and physiological signals (affective computing) is achieving very interesting results in terms of accuracy, inference times, and user-independent models. In this sense, there are applications related to the safety and well-being of people (sexual assaults, gender-based violence, children and elderly abuse, mental health, etc.) that require even more improvements.
