    Abstract Single-cell approaches have shone a spotlight on discrete context-specific tissue macrophage states, deconstructed to their most minute details. Machine-learning (ML) approaches have recently challenged that dogma by revealing a context-agnostic continuum of states shared across tissues. Both approaches agree that 'brake' and 'accelerator' macrophage subpopulations must be balanced to achieve homeostasis. Both approaches also highlight the importance of ensemble fluidity as subpopulations switch between wide ranges of accelerator and brake phenotypes to mount the most optimal wholistic response to any threat. A full comprehension of the rules that govern these brake and accelerator states is a promising avenue because it can help formulate precise macrophage re-education therapeutic strategies that might selectively boost or suppress disease-associated states and phenotypes across various tissues.

    Abstract Eukaryotic cells learn and adapt via unknown network architectures. Recent work demonstrated a circuit of two GTPases used by cells to overcome growth factor scarcity, encouraging our view that artificial and biological intelligence share strikingly similar design principles and that cells function as deep reinforcement learning (RL) agents in uncertain environments.

    Abstract Abstract “Dose-response alignment” (DoRA), where the downstream response of cellular signaling pathways closely matches the fraction of activated receptor, can improve the fidelity of dose information transmission. The negative feedback has been experimentally identified as a key component for DoRA, but numerical simulations indicate that negative feedback is not sufficient to achieve perfect DoRA, i.e., perfect match of downstream response and receptor activation level. Thus a natural question is whether there exist design principles for signaling motifs within only negative feedback loops to improve DoRA to near-perfect DoRA. Here, we investigated several model formulations of an experimentally validated circuit that couples two molecular switches—mGTPase (monomeric GTPase) and tGTPase (heterotrimeric GTPases) — with negative feedback loops. In the absence of feedback, the low and intermediate mGTPase activation levels benefit DoRA in mass action and Hill-function models, respectively. Adding negative feedback has versatile roles on DoRA: it may impair DoRA in the mass action model with low mGTPase activation level and Hill-function model with intermediate mGTPase activation level; in other cases, i.e., the mass action model with a high mGTPase activation level or the Hill-function model with a non-intermediate mGTPase activation level, it improves DoRA. Furthermore, we found that DoRA in a longer cascade (i.e., tGTPase) can be obtained using Hill-function kinetics under certain conditions. In summary, we show how ranges of activity of mGTPase, reaction kinetics, the negative feedback, and the cascade length affect DoRA. This work provides a framework for improving the DoRA performance in signaling motifs with negative feedback.

    Abstract Background: Detailed understanding of pre-, early and late neoplastic states in gastric cancer helps develop better models of risk of progression to gastric cancers (GCs) and medical treatment to intercept such progression.
    Methods: We built a Boolean implication network of gastric cancer and deployed machine learning algorithms to develop predictive models of known pre-neoplastic states, e.g., atrophic gastritis, intestinal metaplasia (IM) and low- to high-grade intestinal neoplasia (L/HGIN), and GC. Our approach exploits the presence of asymmetric Boolean implication relationships that are likely to be invariant across almost all gastric cancer datasets. Invariant asymmetric Boolean implication relationships can decipher fundamental time-series underlying the biological data. Pursuing this method, we developed a healthy mucosa → GC continuum model based on this approach.
    Results: Our model performed better against publicly available models for distinguishing healthy versus GC samples. Although not trained on IM and L/HGIN datasets, the model could identify the risk of progression to GC via the metaplasia → dysplasia → neoplasia cascade in patient samples. The model could rank all publicly available mouse models for their ability to best recapitulate the gene expression patterns during human GC initiation and progression.
    Conclusions: A Boolean implication network enabled the identification of hitherto undefined continuum states during GC initiation. The developed model could now serve as a starting point for rationalizing candidate therapeutic targets to intercept GC progression.

    Abstract The structure, function, and dynamics of canonical activation of heterotrimeric G proteins by the seven-transmembrane G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) have been illustrated in detail. However, emerging studies during the past decade have started to shed light on how the same G proteins may also be accessed and modulated by a diverse family of receptors that are not conventional GPCRs. Can we learn about common themes and variations in how cells assemble these atypical GPCRs?

    Abstract In recent years, understanding the mechanism of thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF) has become the primary choice for designing high-efficiency, low-cost, metal-free organic light emitting diodes (OLEDs). Herein, we propose a strategically designed chalcone based donor-acceptor system, where intensification of delayed fluorescence with decrease in temperature (300 K to 100 K) is observed; the theoretical investigations of electronic states and orbital characters uncovered a new cold rISC pathway in donor-acceptor system, where rISC occurs through the down-conversation of higher triplet exciton (from T

    Abstract Loss of cell polarity impairs organ development and function; it can also serve as one of the first triggers for oncogenesis. In 2006-2007 two groups simultaneously reported the existence of a special pathway for maintaining epithelial polarity in the face of environmental stressors. In this pathway, AMPK, a key sensor of metabolic stress stabilizes tight junctions, preserves cell polarity, and thereby, maintains epithelial barrier functions. Accumulating evidence since has shown that pharmacologic activation of AMPK by Metformin protects the epithelial barrier against multiple environmental and pathological stressful states and suppresses tumorigenesis. How AMPK protects the epithelium remained unknown until recently Aznar et al. identified GIV/Girdin as a novel effector of AMPK at the cell-cell junctions; phosphorylation of GIV at a single site by AMPK appears to be both necessary and sufficient for strengthening tight junctions and preserving cell polarity and epithelial barrier function in the face of energetic stress. Here we review the fundamentals of this specialized signaling pathway that buttresses cell-cell junctions against stress-induced collapse and discuss its pathophysiologic relevance in the context of a variety of diseases, including cancers, diabetes, aging, and the growing list of beneficial effects of the AMPK-activator, Metformin.

    Abstract This article reports alternating supramolecular copolymerization of two naphthalene-diimide (NDI)-derived building blocks (NDI-1 and NDI-2) under thermodynamic control. Both monomers contain a central NDI chromophore, attached to a hydrocarbon-chain and a carboxylic-acid group. The NDI core in NDI-2 is symmetrically substituted with two butane-thiol groups, which makes it distinct from NDI-1. In decane, a 1 : 1 mixture of NDI-1 and NDI-2 shows spontaneous gelation and a typical fibrillar network, unlike the behavior of either of the components individually. The solvent-dependent UV/vis spectrum of the mixed sample in decane shows bathochromically shifted sharp absorption bands and a sharp emission band (holds a mirror-image relationship) with a significantly small Stokes shift compared to those in CHCl
