ASPSCR1-TFE3 reprograms transcription by organizing enhancer loops around hexameric VCP/p97

This study identifies VCP/p97 as an obligate co-factor of ASPSCR1-TFE3, showing it organizes enhancer loops to drive oncogenic transcription in ASPS and RCC.

The pore-forming apolipoprotein APOL7C drives phagosomal rupture and antigen cross-presentation by dendritic cells

This study identifies APOL7C as a pore-forming protein that facilitates phagosomal rupture and antigen cross-presentation by cDC1s.

Correlation between antimicrobial structural classes and membrane partitioning: Role of emerging lipid packing defects

This study uses bioinformatics and molecular dynamics simulations to explore how antimicrobial peptide structures correlate with their membrane partitioning behavior and lipid defect interactions.

SonoMyoNet: A Convolutional Neural Network for Predicting Isometric Force From Highly Sparse Ultrasound Images

SonoMyoNet predicts isometric force from sparse ultrasound scanlines with high accuracy using a convolutional neural network.

Role of lipid packing defects in determining membraneinteractions of antimicrobial polymers

This study investigates how antimicrobial polymers interact with bacterial membranes by inducing lipid packing defects, showing that ternary polymers with polar groups create different defect patterns compared to binary polymers.

Role of Disulfide Bonds in Membrane Partitioning of a Viral Peptide

This study investigates how disulfide bonds affect the membrane partitioning of the HAV-2B viral peptide, showing reduced membrane remodeling due to conformational changes induced by SS bonds.

Sparse Sonomyography-based Estimation of Isometric Force: A Comparison of Methods and Features

This paper compares methods for estimating isometric force using sparse sonomyography data and finds Gaussian process regression performs best with few transducers.

Effect of Cholesterol on Membrane Partitioning Dynamics of Hepatitis A Virus-2B peptide

This study investigates how cholesterol affects the partitioning of a viral peptide into host membranes by altering lipid packing defects.

Spring-loaded inverted pendulum goes through two contraction-extension cycles during the single stance phase of walking

The paper shows that the spring-loaded inverted pendulum (SLIP) can model the single stance phase of walking but has limitations, leading to the development of a new model, ARSLIP, which accounts for active elements and contraction-extension cycles in the leg spring.

Proprioceptive Sonomyographic Control: A novel method of intuitive proportional control of multiple degrees of freedom for upper-extremity amputees

This paper introduces proprioceptive sonomyographic control, a method for intuitive proportional control of prosthetic limbs, showing it enables 5 degrees of freedom control after one hour of training.
