Genomic adaptation to small population size and saltwater consumption in the critically endangered Cat Ba langur

Nature Communications
Many mammal species have declining populations, but the consequences of small population size on the genomic makeup of species remain largely unknown.

Thermal Face Generation Using StyleGAN

IEEE Access, 2021
This article proposes the use of generative adversarial networks (GANs) via StyleGAN2 to create high-quality synthetic thermal images and obtain training data to build thermal face recognition models using deep learning. We employed different variants of

Animal‐Assisted Activities With Therapy Dogs in Pediatric Oncology: A Multicenter Survey of the Current Status, Implementation, and Challenges in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Animal‐assisted activities (AAAs) with therapy dogs have shown positive effects on patient well‐being and quality of life in various areas of medicine, including pediatric oncology. However, research on this topic is limited. The aim of this study is to present the current status of AAA in pediatric oncology in Germany, Austria, and

Spatiotemporal and quantitative analyses of phosphoinositides – fluorescent probe—and mass spectrometry‐based approaches

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Fluorescent probes allow dynamic visualization of phosphoinositides in living cells (left), whereas mass spectrometry provides high‐sensitivity, isomer‐resolved quantitation (right). Their synergistic use captures complementary aspects of lipid signaling. This review illustrates how these approaches reveal the spatiotemporal regulation and quantitative

Protein pyrophosphorylation by inositol pyrophosphates — detection, function, and regulation

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Protein pyrophosphorylation is an unusual signaling mechanism that was discovered two decades ago. It can be driven by inositol pyrophosphate messengers and influences various cellular processes. Herein, we summarize the research progress and challenges of this field, covering pathways found to be regulated by this posttranslational modification as ...

Automated Real-Time Estimation of Severity and Early Diagnosis of Infestations Produced by Tetranychus spp. in Strawberry Crops

IEEE Access
Tetranychus spp. is a prominent pest that affects strawberry cultivation, causing a significant decrease in economic yields. Manual inspection is the most common method used for identifying this pest, but it requires arduous labor, is slow, expensive ...

Cats in Cubes

The Electronic Journal of Combinatorics
Answering a recent question of Patchell and Spiro, we show that when a $d$-dimensional cube of side length $n$ is filled with letters, the word $\mathsf{CAT}$ can appear contiguously at most $(3^{d-1}/2)n^d$ times (allowing diagonals); we also characterize when equality occurs and extend our results to words other than $\mathsf{CAT}$.

Organ‐specific redox imbalances in spinal muscular atrophy mice are partially rescued by SMN antisense oligonucleotides

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
We identified a systemic, progressive loss of protein S‐glutathionylation—detected by nonreducing western blotting—alongside dysregulation of glutathione‐cycle enzymes in both neuronal and peripheral tissues of Taiwanese SMA mice. These alterations were partially rescued by SMN antisense oligonucleotide therapy, revealing persistent redox imbalance as ...
