Phagocytosis is a cellular process for internalization of micron-sized large particles including pathogens. The Bin-Amphiphysin-Rvs167 (BAR) domain proteins, including the FCH-BAR (F-BAR) domain proteins, impose specific ...

Individual differences in general cognitive ability (i.e., intelligence) have been linked to individual variations in the modular organization of functional brain networks. However, these analyses have been limited to ...

While segregation and integration of neural information in the neocortex are thought to be important for human behavior and cognition, the neural substrates enabling their dynamic fluctuations remain elusive. To tackle ...

Effects of environmental factors for growth of Escherichia coli on spontaneous mutagenesis and homologous recombination events are described. By analyzing rifampicin-resistant (Rifr) mutation frequencies in an E. coli ...
The formation of the chromosome axis is key to meiotic recombination and hence the correct distribution of chromosomes to meiotic products. A key component of the axis in Arabidopsis is the HORMA domain protein (HORMAD) ...
Developing an approach to predict happiness based on individual conditions and actions could enable us to select daily behaviors for enhancing well-being in life. Therefore, we propose a novel approach of applying machine ...
Resting-state fMRI has the potential to help doctors detect abnormal behavior in brain activity and to diagnose patients with depression. However, resting-state fMRI has a bias depending on the scanner site, which makes ...
Human habenula studies are gradually advancing, primarily through the use of functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) analysis of passive (Pavlovian) conditioning tasks as well as probabilistic reinforcement learning ...

Irreversible oxidation of Cys residues to sulfinic/sulfonic forms typically impairs protein function. We found that persulfidation (CysSSH) protects Cys from irreversible oxidative loss of function by the formation of ...

Eukaryotes typically utilize two distinct aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase isoforms, one for cytosolic and one for mitochondrialprotein synthesis. However, the genome of budding yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) contains only one ...
Many kinds of lower-limb exoskeletons were developed for walking assistance. However, when controlling these exoskeletons, time-delay due to the computation time and the communication delays is still a general problem. In ...
Cellular protrusions mediated by the membrane-deforming I-BAR domain protein IRSp53 are involved in cell migration, including metastasis. However, the role of IRSp53 in cell proliferation remains unclear. Here, we examined ...
The membrane shaping ability of PACSIN2 via its FCH-BAR (F-BAR) domain has been shown to be essential for caveolar morphogenesis, presumably through the shaping of the caveolar neck. Caveolar membrane contains abundant ...
Cilia are antenna-like structures present in many vertebrate cells. These organelles detect extracellular cues, transduce signals into the cell, and play an essential role in ensuring correct cell proliferation, migration, ...
To establish and maintain proper brain architecture and elaborate neural networks, neurons undergo massive migration. As a unique feature of their migration, neurons move in a saltatory manner by repeating two distinct ...

Automatic identification of the differences between two versions of a file is a common and basic task in several applications of mining code repositories. Git, a version control system, has a diff utility and users can ...
Traffic congestion in urban areas causes economic and time loss. Such traffic congestion is caused by selfish routing where users aim to minimize their own travel time. Even if a navigation system provides them with ...
We study the problem of policy adaptation for reinforcement-learning-based dialog management. Policy adaptation is a commonly used technique to alleviate the problem of data sparsity when training a goal-oriented dialog ...
