Muscular hydrostats, like the elephant trunk, face a fundamental biomechanical conflict between robust protection and delicate manipulation. How the skin, a critical structural and sensory component, resolves this paradox is largely unknown...

Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RAs) are widely used for obesity and type 2 diabetes, yet substantial variability in weight-loss response remains poorly understood. We conducted a retrospective cohort study using de-identifi...
Robustness is important: Limitations of LLMs for predictions on tabular data [0.03%]

Large language models (LLMs) are being applied in a wide array of settings, well beyond typical language-oriented use cases. In particular, LLMs are increasingly used as a plug-and-play method for generating predictions on tabular data. Pri...

Learning is a complex dynamical process shaped by a range of interconnected decisions. Careful design of hyperparameter schedules for artificial neural networks or efficient allocation of cognitive resources by biological learners can drama...

Iron oxide-rich laterites, soils, and regolith formed from the weathering of ultramafic rocks represent untapped unconventional resources for the critical minerals platinum (Pt) and palladium (Pd), but the fundamental surficial geochemistry...

Whether an insect belongs to a solitary or a social species, its survival depends on how it consumes available energy resources. The characterization of energy consumption has largely relied on flow respirometry, a technique that is difficu...
Persistent collaboration as a structural signature of scientific resilience [0.03%]
持久合作作为科学韧性的一种结构特征

Scientific progress today is increasingly realized through collaboration. Recent global crises and shifting geopolitical and funding landscapes have shown that collaboration is not immune to shocks. These disturbances call for a deeper exam...
The DdD protein confers intracellular and extracellular immunity to the leaderless bacteriocin enterocin DD14 [0.03%]
DdD蛋白赋予领导肽缺失型细菌素enterocin DD14以胞内和胞外免疫作用

Leaderless bacteriocins (LBBs) are ribosomally synthesized antimicrobial peptides that differ from classical bacteriocins because they are produced in their active form without leader peptides. This raises the key biological question of how...

A fundamental question in cognitive science is how information from internal memory is combined with external sensory input when making decisions. We hypothesized that previously learned and currently perceived information trade-off against...
Active and probe-free intracellular rheology via phase-sensitive thermoviscous flows [0.03%]

Determination of the rheological properties of cells is known to require active measurements, which largely depend on the internalization of mechanical probes. Here, we circumvent this problem via the introduction of Rheological focused lig...
