In feedforward networks with random connectivity, connection motifs underlying the detection of short clusters and activity sequences are likely to converge on a subset of postsynaptic neurons purely by chance.
A naturally acquired human monoclonal antibody recognizes proteins expressed at different stages of the Plasmodium falciparum life cycle through affinity-matured homotypic interactions with glutamate-rich repeats.
The identification of a conserved α-helical domain in monkeypox virus H3 protein as critical for heparan sulfate binding unveils a novel therapeutic target, validated through AI and molecular dynamics simulations, offering potential for broad-spectrum antiviral development.
