Aging is accompanied by a disrupted information flow, which results from accumulation of molecular mistakes. These mistakes ultimately give rise to debilitating disorders such as skeletal muscle wasting, or sarcopenia. To estimate the growing ″disorderliness″ of the aging muscle system, we employed a statistical physics approach to estimate the state parameter, entropy, as a function of genes…
Parallel evolution occurs when distinct lineages with similar ancestral states converge on a new phenotype. Parallel evolution has been well documented at the organ, gene…
An increase in maternal stress during offspring development can have cascading, life-long impacts on offspring behavior and physiology, which can vary depending on the timing…
Metabolic reprograming has been linked to epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) in cancer cells, but how it influences EMT in normal cells remains largely unknown. Here we…
Background: Children with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) often exhibit communication difficulties that may stem from basic auditory temporal integration impairment but also be aggravated by…
Speech comprehension requires the human brain to transform an acoustic waveform into meaning. To do so, the brain generates a hierarchy of features that converts…
CRISPR epigenomic editing technologies enable functional interrogation of non-coding elements. However, current computational methods for guide RNA (gRNA) design do not effectively predict the power…
Uncompetitive inhibition is an effective strategy for suppressing dysregulated enzymes and their substrates, but discovery of suitable ligands depends on often-unavailable structural knowledge and serendipity.…
Plant protein concentrates have gained popularity in recent years as part of a shift towards healthier and sustainable food production. Their production via dry fractionation…
Deep learning tools applied to high-resolution neurophysiological data have significantly progressed, offering enhanced decoding, real-time processing, and readability for practical applications. However, the design of…
Judgment Bias Tasks (JBT) are used to assess emotional state and welfare of animals in zoos, farms, and laboratories, based on a subjects interpretation of…
