A Review of Oxytocin and Arginine-Vasopressin Receptors and Their Modulation of Autism Spectrum Disorder by Cataldo, Ilaria, Azhari, Atiqah, Esposito, Gianluca

“…Although these genes did not surface in genome-wide association studies, evidence supports the hypothesis that these receptors and their polymorphisms are widely involved in the regulation of social behavior, and in modulating neural and physiological pathways contributing to the etiology of ASD. With a specific focus on variants considered to be among the most prevalent in the development of ASD, these issues will be discussed in-depth and suggestions to approach inconsistencies in the present literature will be provided. …”

Opportunities for machine learning to accelerate halide-perovskite commercialization and scale-up by Kumar, Rishi E., Tiihonen, Armi, Sun, Shijing, Fenning, David P., Liu, Zhe, Buonassisi, Tonio

“…In this perspective, we review practical challenges hindering the commercialization of halide perovskites, and discuss how machine-learning (ML) tools could help: (1) active-learning algorithms that blend institutional knowledge and human expertise could help stabilize and rapidly update baseline manufacturing processes; (2) ML-powered metrology, including computer imaging, could help narrow the performance gap between large- and small-area devices; and (3) inference methods could help accelerate root-cause analysis by reconciling multiple data streams and simulations, focusing research effort on areas with highest probability for improvement. …”
