Efficient and accurate binding free energy calculation of Aβ9–40 protofilament propagation

Proteins: Structure, Function, and Bioinformatics, EarlyView.
Abstract Self‐assembled aggregation of peptides and proteins into regular amyloid fibrils is associated with several neurodegenerative diseases. In case of Alzheimer's disease proteolytic cleavage products of the amyloid precursor protein form pathological amyloid‐beta fibrils in a nucleation and propagation phase.

Molecular Basis for Vacuolar Iron Transport by OsVIT2, a Target for Iron Biofortification in Rice

Proteins: Structure, Function, and Bioinformatics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Iron deficiency is the prevalent and most widespread nutritional shortfall for humans, affecting over 30% of the global population and leading to anemia, particularly among preschool‐aged children and pregnant women in developing countries. Simultaneously, while half of the world's population depends on rice (Oryza sativa L.) as a staple food,

Gold Nanoparticle Adsorption and Uptake are Directed by Particle Capping Agent

Small Science, EarlyView.
This study explores how ligand‐coated gold nanoparticles (NPs) interact with model membranes. Combining atomic force microscopy (AFM) and molecular dynamics (MD) simulations, it shows how coating properties affect adsorption. The AFM‐MD approach offers a predictive platform for nanoparticle design and toxicity, enabling tailored nanomedicine ...

Validating the Accuracy of the ‘Measurement of Baby's Head Shape™’ Mobile Application

IEEJ Transactions on Electrical and Electronic Engineering, EarlyView.
In Japan, positional cranial deformities (PCD) have received limited attention. At present, objective evaluation of the severity of cranial deformity requires specialized equipment and software that are not suitable for screening. The ‘Measurement of a baby's head shape™’ (Japan Medical Company) application quantifies plagiocephaly and brachycephaly ...

Disability, Gender and Segregation in the Britain–Australia Convict System

Gender &History, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This article assesses the gendered experiences of disability and segregation among prisoners in colonial (1830s) New South Wales. I use the distinction between impairment and disability from the ‘social model of disability’ to show that the disabling capacities of impairments varied depending on wider social structures and beliefs, and on each

The differences in essential facial areas for impressions between humans and deep learning models: An eye‐tracking and explainable AI approach

British Journal of Psychology, EarlyView.
Abstract This study explored the facial impressions of attractiveness, dominance and sexual dimorphism using experimental and computational methods. In Study 1, we generated face images with manipulated morphological features using geometric morphometrics. In Study 2, we conducted eye tracking and impression evaluation experiments using these images to
