Our purpose was to find a link between thalamocortical connectivity measures at term equivalent age and two‐year neurodevelopmental outcome in 58 infants following preterm birth. Using probabilistic diffusion tractography, we found that injury or dysmaturation of tracts emerging from ventral‐specific and various nonspecific thalamus projecting to late ...

Prophage encoding toxin/antitoxin system PfiT/PfiA inhibits Pf4 production in Pseudomonas aeruginosa
PfiT/PfiA in Pf4 prophage forms a type II toxin‐antitoxin system in Pseudomonas aeruginosa. PfiT inhibits production of Pf4 phage. Summary Pf prophages are ssDNA filamentous prophages that are prevalent among various Pseudomonas aeruginosa strains. The genomes of Pf prophages contain not only core genes encoding functions involved in phage replication,

Predicting drug‐perturbed transcriptional responses using multi‐conditional diffusion transformer
Abstract Drug‐perturbed transcriptomes are important for personalized medicine and drug discovery. Nevertheless, the existing high‐throughput screening and sequencing techniques for drug‐perturbed transcriptomes remain expensive and time‐consuming. In this study, we propose a novel multi‐condition diffusion transformer model, designated as perturbation

Summary When abruptly exposed to toxic levels of hexavalent uranium, the extremely thermoacidophilic archaeon Metallosphaera prunae , originally isolated from an abandoned uranium mine, ceased to grow, and concomitantly exhibited heightened levels of cytosolic ribonuclease ...

Crystal structure of proteolyzed VapBC and DNA‐bound VapBC from Salmonella enterica Typhimurium LT2 and VapC as a putative Ca 2+ ‐dependent ribonuclease [PDF]
Abstract Bacterial toxin‐antitoxin (TA) system has gained attention for its essential roles in cellular maintenance and survival under harsh environmental conditions such as nutrient deficiency and antibiotic treatment. There are at least 14 TA systems in Salmonella enterica

Protective immune response against Rhodococcus equi: An innate immunity‐focused review
Abstract Rhodococcus equi causes pyogranulomatous pneumonia in foals and immunocompromised people. Despite decades of research efforts, no vaccine is available against this common cause of disease and death in foals. The purpose of this narrative review is to summarise the current understanding of interactions between R. equi and the host innate immune

Disorganized thalamic subregional functional connectivity in bipolar I disorder
FIGURE 1 Flowchart of inclusion and exclusion criteria, and resting‐state functional connectivity (FC) analysis of subcortical regions and thalamic subregions. A total of 151 participants were enrolled. All participants were scanned with high‐resolution MRI. After data collection, preprocessing and seed‐based FC analysis were then performed.

Automated discovery and phylogenetic analysis of new toxin-antitoxin systems
Background Although often viewed as elements "at the service of" bacteria, plasmids exhibit replication and maintenance mechanisms that make them purely "selfish DNA" candidates.
