Endoplasmic Reticulum Geometry Dictates Neuronal Bursting via Calcium Store Refill Rates and Exposes Selective Neuronal Vulnerability

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
The ER's continuous tubular network is maintained by ER‐shaping proteins whose mutation or dysregulation contributes to neurodegenerative diseases. Here, we show that ER morphology sets the speed of Ca2+ store replenishment between firing events. Disrupting ER continuity slows intra‐ER Ca2+ redistribution from extracellular refill (SOCE) sites, driving

Investigating the nature of prokaryotic genomic island locations within a genome.

PLoS ONE
Horizontal gene transfer (HGT) is a powerful evolutionary force that considerably shapes the structure of prokaryotic genomes and is associated with genomic islands (GIs).

Gibbs Sampling, Exponential Families and Orthogonal Polynomials

, 2008
We give families of examples where sharp rates of convergence to stationarity of the widely used Gibbs sampler are available. The examples involve standard exponential families and their conjugate priors.

First Generation Proteolysis Targeting Chimeras (PROTACs) for the Treatment of Progeria

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
We report the first PROTACs designed to degrade progerin, introducing a novel therapeutic approach for progeria. The best compound, UCM‐18142, significantly reduces progerin levels and improves key disease phenotypes in patient‐derived cells and in the LmnaG609G/G609G mouse model, paving the way for new treatment strategies targeting the root cause of ...

Carboranyl‐Curcuminoids for the Neutron Capture‐Based Treatment of Amyloid Aggregates in Alzheimer's Disease

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
The 10B‐enriched monocarbonyl analog of curcumin (BMAC) 10B‐9 enables site‐specific Boron Neutron Capture Therapy (BNCT) on amyloid‐β (Aβ) fibrils. Neutron irradiation induces histidine oxidation and fibril destabilization, as revealed by 1H‐NMR and FESEM analyses.

Objective Improvement in Information-Geometric Optimization [PDF]

, 2013
Information-Geometric Optimization (IGO) is a unified framework of stochastic algorithms for optimization problems. Given a family of probability distributions, IGO turns the original optimization problem into a new maximization problem on the parameter ...

Leveraging Artificial Intelligence and Large Language Models for Cancer Immunotherapy

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Cancer immunotherapy faces challenges in predicting treatment responses and understanding resistance mechanisms. Artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) offer powerful solutions for cancer immunotherapy in patient stratification, biomarker discovery, treatment strategy optimization, and foundation model development.

Self‐Assisted Charge Storage‐Release Mechanism Enabling Flexible Design of Biomimetic Triboelectric Nanogenerators

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Inspired by the mimosa, this study develops a flexible triboelectric nanogenerator with a novel microneedle array and battery‐mimetic architecture. The device introduces a spontaneous charge self‐regulation mechanism that confines the electric field below the air breakdown threshold, and achieves an outstanding charge density of 396.50 µC m−2 ...

Sub‐Unit‐Cell Logic Governs Transport in TPMS Architectures

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Next‐generation energy, thermal, and chemical systems require architectures capable of highly efficient transport across multiple length scales. Triply periodic minimal surfaces (TPMS), first conceptualized in 1865, offer inherently scalable geometries with exceptional transport potential, yet mechanistic links between topology and performance
