Shifts of dominant personality and spatial pattern formation due to spatially heterogeneous pollution [PDF]
arXivPersonality traits, such as boldness and shyness, play a significant role in shaping the survival strategies of animals. Industrial pollution has long posed serious threats to ecosystems and is typically distributed heterogeneously. However, how animals with different personalities respond to spatially heterogeneous pollution remains largely unexplored.

A Bayesian Approach to Modelling Fine-Scale Spatial Dynamics of Non-State Terrorism: World Study, 2002-2013 [PDF]
arXiv, 2016 To this day, terrorism persists as a worldwide threat, as exemplified by the ongoing lethal attacks perpetrated by ISIS in Iraq, Syria, Al Qaeda in Yemen, and Boko Haram in Nigeria. In response, states deploy various counterterrorism policies, the costs of which could be reduced through efficient preventive measures.

Bilirubin Targeting WNK1 to Alleviate NLRP3‐Mediated Neuroinflammation
Advanced Science, EarlyView.At physiological concentrations, bilirubin binds to the kinase domain of WNK1, thereby augmenting its activity and facilitating the phosphorylation of downstream SPAK/OSR1. This phosphorylation inhibits KCC2 activity, leading to elevate intracellular chloride levels in neurons.

A biophysical protein folding model accounts for most mutational fitness effects in viruses [PDF]
arXiv, 2011 Fitness effects of mutations fall on a continuum ranging from lethal to deleterious to beneficial. The distribution of fitness effects (DFE) among random mutations is an essential component of every evolutionary model and a mathematical portrait of robustness.

Advanced Science, EarlyView.Schematic diagram showing the potential mechanism of bigelovin on the activation of NLRP3 inflammasome Bigelovin may inhibit activated protein C kinase 1 (RACK1) by directly binding with cys168 of RACK1. Bigelovin thus prevents oligomerization of NLRP3 (NLRP3 active conformation) and subsequent assembly of NLRP3 inflammasome, blocking the activation of
