Small-area population forecasting in a segregated city using density-functional fluctuation theory by Chen, Yuchao, Kinkhabwala, Yunus A., Barron, Boris, Hall, Matthew, Arias, Tomás A., Cohen, Itai

“…To demonstrate the efficacy of our approach in a controlled setting, we consider a simulated city constructed from a Schelling-type model. Our findings indicate that even without direct access to the underlying agent preferences, DFFT accurately predicts how broader demographic changes at the city scale percolate to small-area populations. …”

Glycans function as a Golgi export signal to promote the constitutive exocytic trafficking by Sun, Xiuping, Tie, Hieng Chiong, Chen, Bing, Lu, Lei

“…By sequentially introducing O-glycosylation sites to ST6GAL1, we demonstrated that O-glycan’s effect on Golgi export is probably additive. Finally, the finding that N-glycosylated GFP substantially reduces the Golgi residence time of a Tac chimera suggests that N-glycans might have a similar effect. …”

Cryogelation of human hair keratins by Chua, Huei Min, Zhao, Zhitong, Ng, Kee Woei

“…Finally, uniaxial compression tests on HHK sponges demonstrate that FT cycling, from 0 to 10, is able to improve the compression modulus of sponges by ≈12-folds. These findings show that macroscale properties of HHK cryogels can be conveniently modulated by physical parameters of cryogelation and that disulfide bonding is the main stabilizing force in HHK cryogels.…”

Self-organized canals enable long-range directed material transport in bacterial communities by Li, Ye, Liu, Shiqi, Zhang, Yingdan, Seng, Zi Jing, Xu, Haoran, Yang, Liang, Wu, Yilin

“…The spatial-temporal dynamics of fluid flows in the open channels are qualitatively described by flow profile measurement and mathematical modeling. Our findings demonstrate that mechanochemical coupling between interfacial force and biosurfactant kinetics can coordinate large-scale material transport in primitive life forms, suggesting a new principle to engineer self-organized microbial communities.…”
