Three distinct 3-methylcytidine (m3C) methyltransferases modify tRNA and mRNA in mice and humans by Xu, Luang, Liu, Xinyu, Sheng, Na, Oo, Kyaw Soe, Liang, Junxin, Chionh, Yok Hian, Xu, Juan, Ye, Fuzhou, Gao, Yong-Gui, Dedon, Peter C., Fu, Xin-Yuan

“…METTL8, however, modified only mRNA, as determined by biochemical and genetic analyses in Mettl8 null-mutant mice and two human METTL8 mutant cell lines. Our findings provide the first evidence of the existence of m3C modification in mRNA, and the discovery of METTL8 as an mRNA m3C writer enzyme opens the door to future studies of other m3C epitranscriptomic reader and eraser functions.…”

Intermittent actuation attenuates fibrotic behaviour of myofibroblasts by Ward, Niamh A., Hanley, Shirley, Tarpey, Ruth, Schreiber, Lucien H.J., O'Dwyer, Joanne, Roche, Ellen T., Duffy, Garry P., Dolan, Eimear B.

“…Here, we use analytical, computational, and in vitro models to understand the response of human myofibroblasts (WPMY-1 stromal cell line) to intermittent actuation using soft robotics and investigate how actuation can alter the secretion of collagen and pro/anti-inflammatory cytokines by these cells. …”

Using shock tube species time-histories in Bayesian parameter estimation: Effective independent-data number and target selection by Chen, Huaibo, Ji, Weiqi, Cassady, Séan J, Ferris, Alison M, Hanson, Ronald K, Deng, Sili

“…This further implies that several critical points can represent the entire line for point estimation. This paper can provide a reference both for modelers about reasonable utilization of species time-histories, and for experimentalists about the importance of a detailed probability distribution of measurement error, as well as experiment design with emphasis on critical points.…”

Structure and dynamics of magnetic domain walls in multi-sublattice magnetic oxides by Huang, Siying

“…In EuIG(110) thin film with strong in-plane anisotropy, we demonstrate bistable Néel DW states interchangeable by in-plane field pulse-driven incoherent DW reversal, from which we extract for the first time the Bloch line energetics. Besides the above DW Néel character stabilization, we also provide a DW position stabilization on the racetracks by the exchange bias effect in Pt/Co/Pt/Co₀.₈Ni₀.₂O thin films. …”

Design of recursive digital filters using frequency-response masking technique by Liu, Qinglai

“…In the proposed filter class, the bandedge shaping filters are a parallel connection of two allpass filters and the masking filters are approximately linear phase IIR filters composed of a parallel connection of a delay line and an allpass filter. By means of theoretical analysis and computer simulation, we demonstrate that the proposed class of FRM-based IIR filters has much better coefficient sensitivity and roundoff noise performances than conventional IIR filters.…”
