Dengue Virus Non-Structural Protein 5 by El Sahili, Abbas, Lescar, Julien

“…Dengue virus also serves as a prototype for the study of other pathogenic flaviviruses that are emerging, like West Nile virus and Zika virus. Upon viral entry into the host cell and fusion of the viral lipid membrane with the endosomal membrane, the viral RNA is released and expressed as a polyprotein, that is then matured into three structural and seven non-structural (NS) proteins. …”

Hole spin helix : anomalous spin diffusion in anisotropic strained hole quantum wells by Sacksteder, Vincent E., Bernevig, B. Andrei

“…In addition to the well-known cubic hole spin-orbit interaction, anisotropy causes a Dresselhaus-like term, and strain causes a Rashba term. We discover that strain can cause a shifting symmetry of the Fermi surfaces for spin up and down holes. …”

CricPredict: resource-aware prediction of T20 cricket match by Kumar, Ashish, Hassan, Bilal, Wasiq, Muhammad Farooq

“…Usually, the Duckworth–Lewis (D/L) method is used to decide the outcome of the match in Test and ODI cricket, resulting in favour of one team like completed matches. In contrast to the traditional D/L method, we tried to incorporate players' performance indicators into our proposed architecture despite the traditional D/L method which only includes the current state of the match and determines the outcome. …”

A renewal-equation approach to estimating Rt and infectious disease case counts in the presence of reporting delays by Bajaj, S, Thompson, R, Lambert, B

“…Our research highlights the value of keeping historical time series of cases since changes to these data can help to characterise nuisance processes, like reporting delays, which allow these to be accounted for when estimating key epidemic quantities.…”

Competitive overlap as a signal in expert partner choice: evidence from patent law firm selection by Borchhardt, G, Kovacs, B, Rogan, M

MiR-186-5p inhibition restores synaptic transmission and neuronal network activity in a model of chronic stress by Rodrigues, B, Leitão, RA, Santos, M, Trofimov, A, Silva, M, Inácio, ÂS, Abreu, M, Nobre, RJ, Costa, J, Cardoso, AL, Milosevic, I, Peça, J, Oliveiros, B, Pereira de Almeida, L, Pinheiro, PS, Carvalho, AL

“…Additionally, viral overexpression of miR-186-5p in the PFC of naïve mice induces anxiety- and depressive-like behaviours. The upregulation of miR-186-5p through prolonged glucocorticoid receptor activation in vitro, or in a mouse model of chronic stress, differentially affects glutamatergic and GABAergic synaptic transmission, causing an imbalance in excitation/inhibition that leads to altered neuronal network activity. …”

Studying the metal sites of metallo-proteins by electrochemistry and spectroelectrochemistry by Sun, Y

“…</p> <p>Through these advanced methods, significant insights were gained into the stability of all-ferrous states and the environmental factors influencing them in proteins like NifH and AnfH. Challenges encountered with redox mediators in the presence of nucleotides underscored the need for novel mediators to avoid unwanted interactions during redox titrations. …”
