ABSTRACT Conidiation is a pivotal strategy for fungi to resist adverse environments and disperse to new habitats, which is especially important for entomopathogenic fungi whose conidia are infective as fungal pesticide propagules.However, the molecular mechanism for regulating conidiation in entomopathogenic fungi is not fully understood.Here, we c
Falling in Love and Passionate Love in an Iranian Sample
Romantic relationships and passionate love are topics of perennial interest to scientists and the lay public alike.While there is evidence of romantic love across many cultures, with some suggesting it is a universal human experience, the majority of research has been conducted in Western countries (e.g., the U.S.).When other cultures have been res
Accurate prediction of CDR-H3 loop structures of antibodies with deep learning
Accurate prediction of the structurally diverse complementarity determining region heavy chain 3 (CDR-H3) loop structure remains a primary and long-standing challenge for antibody modeling.Here, we present the H3-OPT toolkit for predicting the 3D structures of monoclonal antibodies and nanobodies.H3-OPT combines the strengths of AlphaFold2 with a p
Making sense of ghosts
Ghosts have been a stumbling block in the development of a UV complete quantum field theory for gravity.We discuss how difficulties associated with VGAN5 + VANILLA ghosts are overcome in the context of 0+1d QFT.Obtaining a probability interpretation is the key issue, and for this we discuss how an appropriate inner product can be constructed to def
