Automatic intelligibility assessment of dysarthric speech using glottal parameters

open access: yes, 2022
Objective intelligibility assessment of dysarthric speech can assist clinicians in diagnosis of speech disorders as well as in medical treatment. This study investigates the use of glottal parameters (i.e.

Organizing the interface—Plasma membrane architecture and receptor dynamics in virus‐cell interactions

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Plasma membranes contain dynamic nanoscale domains that organize lipids and receptors. Because viruses operate at similar scales, this architecture shapes early infection steps, including attachment, receptor engagement, and entry. Using influenza A virus and HIV‐1 as examples, we highlight how receptor nanoclusters, multivalent glycan interactions ...

Methods of slowing down speech

open access: yes, 2021
A slower speaking rate of human or synthetic speech is often requested by for example language learners or people with aphasia or dementia. Slow speech produced by human speakers typically contain a larger number of pauses, and both pauses and speech ...

Engineering peptides into antibodies—opportunities and strategies for therapeutic innovation

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Peptides and antibodies occupy complementary therapeutic niches. Peptides recognize difficult targets in a compact format, while antibodies add specificity, long half‐life, and effector functions. This review examines strategies that merge both modalities—peptide grafting into loops, terminal and Fc fusions, and bioconjugation—highlighting how ...

Ligand‐dependent transcriptional heterogeneity in cell cycle gene expression delays G1/S entry

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
EGF and HRG induce distinct G1/S progression programs in ErbB2‐amplified BT474 breast cancer cells. Despite activating the potent ErbB2–ErbB3 heterodimer, HRG does not accelerate cell‐cycle entry. Instead, EGF promotes earlier restriction‐point passage via ERK–FOS signaling, whereas HRG activates the AKT–MYC axis, driving transcriptional heterogeneity ...

Fundamental Frequency Model for Postfiltering at Low Bitrates in a Transform-Domain Speech and Audio Codec

open access: yes, 2020
Speech codecs can use postfilters to improve the quality of the decoded signal. While postfiltering is effective in reducing coding artifacts, such methods often involve processing in both the encoder and the decoder, rely on additional transmitted side ...
