Two-dimensional materials with flat electronic bands are promising for realising exotic quantum phenomena such as unconventional superconductivity and nontrivial topology. However, exploring their vast chemical space is a significant challenge. Here we introduce elf, an unsupervised convolutional autoencoder that encodes electronic band structure images into fingerprint vectors, enabling the autonomous clustering of materials by electronic properties beyond traditional chemical paradigms.

Background: Post-surgical tendon adhesion formation is a frequent clinical complication with limited treatment options. The aim of this study is to investigate safety and efficacy of orally administration of crocin in attenuating post-operative tendon-sheath adhesion bands in an Achilles tendon rat model.
Methods: Structural, mechanical, histological, and biochemical properties of Achilles tendons were analyzed in the presence and absence of crocin.

The C3 protein is the central molecule within the complement system and undergoes proteolytic activation to C3b in the presence of pathogens. Pattern-independent activation of C3 also occurs via hydrolysis, resulting in C3(HO), but the structural details of C3 hydrolysis remain elusive. Here we show that the conformation of the C3(HO) analog, C3MA, is indistinguishable from C3b.

Epidithio-diketopiperazine (ETP) compound is the family of natural fungal metabolites that are known to exert diverse biological effects, such as immunosuppression and anti-cancer activity, in higher animals. However, an enzyme-like catalytic activity or function of the ETP derivatives has not been reported. Here, we report the generation of novel thiol peroxidase mimetics that possess peroxide-reducing activity through strategic derivatization of the core ETP ring structure.
