Complex combinatorial optimization can be used to design network systems having desired dynamics and that are robust against structural perturbations. Here genetic networks exhibiting limit-cycle oscillations with prescribed periods and, furthermore, that are robust against the deletion of links and nodes or the application of noise are constructed. Large ensembles of robust genetic clocks with different periods could thus be obtained, and some of their statistical properties have been investigated. Similar methods can be used to design robust network oscillators of various origins.

Introduction: Gastric cancer (GC) is the fifth most common cancer globally, and the relationship between type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and cancer risk remains controversial.

Methods: We performed Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis using publicly available GWAS data to assess the causal relationship between T2DM and GC, validated by heterogeneity and pleiotropy analyses. Transcriptomic data from TCGA and GEO were analyzed to identify common differentially expressed genes (DEGs).

Neuro-robotics Laboratory, Department of Robotics, Graduate School of Engineering, Tohoku University, Sendai, Japan.

Reliable proprioception and feedback from soft sensors are crucial for enabling soft robots to function intelligently in real-world environments. Nevertheless, soft sensors are fragile and are susceptible to various damage sources in such environments. Some researchers have utilized redundant configuration, where healthy sensors compensate instantaneously for lost ones to maintain proprioception accuracy.

Rhizosphere microbiomes are constantly mobilized during plant-pathogen interactions, and this, in turn, affects their interactions. However, few studies have examined the activities of rhizosphere microbiomes in plants with different susceptibilities to soil-borne pathogens, especially those that cause clubroot disease. In this study, we compared the rhizosphere bacterial community in response to infection of among the four different clubroot susceptibility cultivars of oilseed rape ().
