Nanocellulose Alleviates Intrahepatic Cholestasis of Pregnancy via Gut Microbiota‐Mediated Bile Acid Homeostasis

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Nanocellulose, derived from microcrystalline cellulose (MCC) through sulfuric acid hydrolysis or mechanical grinding to produce CNC or CNF, was tested in a rat ICP model. Particularly, CNF improved gut microbiota composition, reduced secondary bile acid metabolism, and restored bile acid homeostasis through modulation of the gut–liver axis.

On Determination Method for Resolution of Secondary Electron Images in Scanning Electron Microscopy

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
An idealized SEM, termed Rayleigh's microscope, is constructed by Monte Carlo simulation to represent imaging conditions that just satisfy the Rayleigh criterion. Based on this physically defined model, sharpness–resolution conversion curves are established and combined with the Rose criterion, enabling automated resolution evaluation from practical ...

Icariin Enhances the Enzymatic Activity of N‐acetylgalactosaminidase to Augment Akkermansia Abundance in Gut Microbiota for Improved PD‐1 Blockade Efficacy in Tumor Suppression

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Icariin promoted the growth of Akk by enhancing the activity of N‐acetylgalactosaminidase (Amuc_0920), which enhanced mucin utilization and provided a favorable nutrient environment for bacterial growth. This icariin‐mediated enrichment of Akk further reshaped the tumor microenvironment and promoted CD8+ T cell infiltration, ultimately synergizing with

RTransferEntropy — Quantifying information flow between different time series using effective transfer entropy

SoftwareX, 2019
This paper shows how to quantify and test for the information flow between two time series with Shannon transfer entropy and Rényi transfer entropy using the R package RTransferEntropy. We discuss the methodology, the bias correction applied to calculate

Corals and Reef‐Dwelling Fish Regulate Carbon Storage and Cycling Processes in Coral Reef Ecosystems

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Coral reefs are biodiversity hotspots, yet their role in carbon storage and cycling remains poorly understood. Using field surveys and modeling in the South China Sea, we reveal the overlooked potential of carbon storage in reef ecosystems and how reef fish, corals, and surface sediment jointly shape reef carbon reservoirs.

Inequalities for Shannon Entropy and Kolmogorov Complexity

, 2000
It was mentioned by Kolmogorov (1968, IEEE Trans. Inform. Theory14, 662–664) that the properties of algorithmic complexity and Shannon entropy are similar. We investigate one aspect of this similarity.

Consistency of the Shannon entropy in quantum experiments

, 2021
The consistency of the Shannon entropy, when applied to outcomes of quantum experiments, is analysed. It is shown that the Shannon entropy is fully consistent and its properties are never violated in quantum settings, but attention must be paid to ...

β‐Elemene Rescues Radiation‐Induced Enteritis by Orchestrating a Host‐Microbiome Circuit That Fuels Epigenetic DNA Repair

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study elucidates that β‐elemene promotes cellular uptake of L. gasseri‐derived lactate by enhancing the membrane translocation of MCT1 in a CD147‐dependent manner. Intracellular lactate, through the lactylation of RBBP4 at the K26 site, recruits EP300 to the promoter regions of downstream genes (POLD1/POLD3), catalyzing H3K27ac modification.

Learn your entropy from informative data: An axiom ensuring the consistent identification of generalized entropies

Physical Review Research
Shannon entropy, a cornerstone of information theory, statistical physics, and inference methods, is uniquely identified by the Shannon-Khinchin or Shore-Johnson axioms.

Is the Voronoi Entropy a True Entropy? Comments on “Entropy, Shannon’s Measure of Information and Boltzmann’s H-Theorem”, Entropy 2017, 19, 48

Entropy, 2019
The goal of this comment note is to express our considerations about the recent paper by A. Ben Naim (Entropy 2017, 19, 48). We strongly support the distinguishing between the Shannon measure of information and the thermodynamic entropy, suggested in the
