摘要:Reinforcement learning inspires much theorizing in neuroscience, cognitive science, machine learning, and AI. A central question concerns the conditions that produce the perception of a contingency between an action and reinforcement-the assignment- of- credit problem. Contemporary models of associative and reinforcement learning do not leverage the temporal metrics (measured intervals). Our information- theoretic approach formalizes contingency by time- scale invariant temporal mutual informa...

摘要:Antibody responses require the proliferative expansion of B cells controlled by affinity- dependent signals. Yet, proliferative bursts are heterogeneous, varying between 0 and 8 divisions in response to the same stimulus. NF kappa B cRel is activated in response to immune stimulation in B cells and is genetically required for proliferation. Here, we asked whether proliferative heterogeneity is controlled by natural variations in cRel abundance. We developed a fluorescent reporter mTFP1- cRel f...

摘要:Autonomous nanorobots represent an advanced tool for precision therapy to improve therapeutic efficacy. However, current nanorobotic designs primarily rely on inorganic materials with compromised biocompatibility and limited biological functions. Here, we introduce enzyme- powered bacterial outer membrane vesicle (OMV) nanorobots. The immobilized urease on the OMV membrane catalyzes the decomposition of bioavailable urea, generating effective propulsion for nanorobots. This OMV nanorobot prese...

摘要:Sex pheromones play a crucial role in mate location and reproductive success. Insects face challenges in finding mates in low- density environments. The population dynamics of locusts vary greatly, ranging from solitary individuals to high- density swarms, leading to multiple- trait divergence between solitary and gregarious phases. However, differences in sexual communication between solitary and gregarious locusts have not been sufficiently explored. Herein, we found that solitary locusts bu...

摘要:The development of advanced neural modulation techniques is crucial to neuroscience research and neuroengineering applications. Recently, optical- based, nongenetic modulation approaches have been actively investigated to remotely interrogate the nervous system with high precision. Here, we show that a thin- film, silicon (Si)- based diode device is capable to bidirectionally regulate in vitro and in vivo neural activities upon adjusted illumination. When exposed to high- power and short- puls...

摘要:The prevalence of long COVID is just one of the conundrums highlighting how little we know about the lung's response to viral infection, particularly to syndromecoronavirus-2 (SARS- CoV-2), for which the lung is the point of entry.We used an in vitro human lung system to enable a prospective, unbiased, sequential single- cell level analysis of pulmonary cell responses to infection by multiple SARS-CoV-2 strains. Starting with human induced pluripotent stem cells and emulating lung organogenesi...

摘要:We provide the mathematical and empirical foundations of the friendship paradox in networks, often stated as Your friends have more friends than you. We prove a set of network properties on friends of friends and characterize the concepts of ego- based and alter-based means. We propose a network property called inversity that quantifies the imbalance in degrees across edges and prove that the sign of inversity determines the ordering between ego-based or alter-based means for any network, with...

摘要:Heterotrophic protists are vital in Earth's ecosystems, influencing carbon and nutrient cycles and occupying key positions in food webs as microbial predators. Fossils and molecular data suggest the emergence of predatory microeukaryotes and the transition to a eukaryote- rich marine environment by 800 million years ago (Ma). Neoproterozoic vase- shaped microfossils (VSMs) linked to Arcellinida testate amoebae represent the oldest evidence of heterotrophic microeukaryotes. This study explores ...
