A Systematic Approach to Analyze T Cell Migration: Application to Mouse Melanoma Tumors

open access: yesAdvanced Therapeutics, EarlyView.
The results show that a minimum of two migration speeds can be rigorously identified from the data with cells switching between a fast, persistent migratory state, and a slow, random migration state. These results will help in identifying genetic factors that influence rapid migration, among other applications, such as quality control for CAR‐T cell ...

Utilizing Causal Network Markers to Identify Tipping Points ahead of Critical Transition

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
The study proposes a causal network markers (CNMs) framework to identify early‐warning signals preceding critical transitions. It validates CNMs on various computational benchmark models and real‐world datasets, demonstrating higher accuracy and flexibility compared to existing approaches.

Movement Mechanisms Harness Lévy Flight for Energy‐Efficient Wastewater Treatment in Microalgae–Bacteria Systems

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Here, our novel model that integrates metabolism with motility dynamics reveals that microalgae shift bacterial movement toward Lévy flight patterns, enhancing encounter rates and self‐aggregation. This microecological manipulation reduces energy costs, strengthens functions such as pollutant removal and system stability.

Intraguild predation among aphidophagous predators [PDF]

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Entomology, 2005
Since the publication of papers by Polis et al. (1989, 1992), intraguild predation (IGP) has been considered in numerous systems and a growing number of papers have been published, demonstrating the ubiquity and the importance of this interaction. It appears that aphidophagous guilds constitute especially favourable systems for IGP.

A Subcircuit in the Suprachiasmatic Nucleus Generates Wakefulness

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
This study identifies a sub‐circuit within the circadian pacemaker suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN) that promotes arousal. This sub‐circuit is labeled by the clock output molecule mWAKE, which suppresses its excitability in a time‐dependent manner. mWAKE‐expressing cells in the SCN (SCNmWAKE cells) project to the subparaventricular zone (SPZ) to mediate ...

A Van Der Waals Broadband Infrared Optical Synapse Enabling Orientation Detection

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
An infrared optoelectronic synapse based on a graphene/CrOCl/graphene van der Waals heterostructure is reported to possess a broadband synaptic response range from the visible to the infrared (520–2000 nm), which can be used to achieve orientation and motion detections of a target mimicing the pit organ of a pit vapor.

Chronic exposure to a predator or its scent does not inhibit male–male competition in male mice lacking brain serotonin

open access: yesFrontiers in Behavioral Neuroscience, 2014
Although it is well-known that defective signaling of the 5-HT system in the brain and stressful stimuli can cause psychological disorders, their combined effects on male–male aggression and sexual attractiveness remain unknown.
