This study presents a novel method for creating customized brain slice matrices using Computer-Aided Design (CAD) and 3D printing technology. Brain Slice Matrices are essential jigs for the reproducible preparation of brain tissue sections in neuroscience research. Our approach leverages the advantages of 3D printing, including design flexibility, cost-effectiveness, and rapid prototyping, to produce custom-made brain matrices based on specific morphometric measurements.

Foot-and-mouth disease virus (FMDV) are small, icosahedral viruses that cause serious clinical symptoms in livestock. The FMDV VP1 protein is a key structural component, facilitating virus entry. Here, we find that the E3 ligase RNF5 interacts with VP1 and targets it for degradation through ubiquitination at the lys200 of VP1, ultimately inhibiting virus replication.

Vaccination strategies against HIV-1 aim to elicit broadly neutralizing antibodies (bnAbs) using prime-boost regimens with HIV envelope (Env) immunogens. Epitope mapping has shown that early antibody responses are directed to easily accessible nonneutralizing epitopes on Env instead of bnAb epitopes. Autologously neutralizing antibody responses appear upon boosting, once immunodominant epitopes are saturated.

Explaining the predictions of machine learning models is of critical importance for integrating predictive modeling in drug discovery projects. We have generated a test system for predicting isoform selectivity of phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K) inhibitors and systematically analyzed correct predictions of selective inhibitors using a new methodology termed MolAnchor, which is based on the "anchors" concept from explainable artificial intelligence. The approach is designed to generate chemically intuitive explanations of compound predictions.

Current understanding of the histology of the dermoskeleton of tetrapods comes from fossilized and recent remains of skulls, osteoderms, carapace, plastron and other postcranial material which were always investigated using linear cross polarized light (LCPL) microscopy. The pectoral girdle of vast majority of non-amniote tetrapods, including temnospondyls evolved large ventrally located dermal bones- the interclavicle and a pair of clavicles. Despite that, there is a lack of information about the bone tissue structure from these postcranial dermal bones.
