Platelets retain high levels of active plasminogen activator inhibitor 1. [PDF]
The vascular fibrinolytic system is crucial for spontaneous lysis of blood clots. Plasminogen activator inhibitor 1 (PAI-1), the principal inhibitor of the key fibrinolytic enzyme tissue-type plasminogen activator (tPA), is present in platelets at high ...

Estimating the Roles of Protonation and Electronic Polarization in Absolute Binding Affinity Simulations [PDF]
Accurate prediction of binding free energies is critical to streamlining the drug development and protein design process. With the advent of GPU acceleration, absolute alchemical methods, which simulate the removal of ligand electrostatics and van der Waals interactions with the protein, have become routinely accessible and provide a physically ...

Activation Functions: Dive into an optimal activation function [PDF]
Activation functions have come up as one of the essential components of neural networks. The choice of adequate activation function can impact the accuracy of these methods. In this study, we experiment for finding an optimal activation function by defining it as a weighted sum of existing activation functions and then further optimizing these weights ...

The effects of endocrine‐disrupting chemicals on ovarian‐ and ovulation‐related fertility outcomes
Abstract Exposure to endocrine‐disrupting chemicals (EDCs) is unavoidable, which represents a public health concern given the ability of EDCs to target the ovary. However, there is a large gap in the knowledge about the impact of EDCs on ovarian function, including the process of ovulation.
