Article Abstract

Differential equation models are widely used to describe genetic regulations, predict multicomponent regulatory circuits, and provide quantitative insights. However, it is still challenging to quantitatively link the dynamic behaviors with measured parameters in synthetic circuits. Here, we propose a dynamic delay model (DDM) which includes two simple parts: the dynamic determining part and the doses-related steady-state-determining part. The dynamic determining part is usually supposed as the delay time but without a clear formula. For the first time, we give the detail formula of the dynamic determining function and provide a method for measuring all parameters of synthetic elements (include 8 activators and 5 repressors) by microfluidic system. Three synthetic circuits were built to show that the DDM can notably improve the prediction accuracy and can be used in various synthetic biology applications.

Vibrational signature of 1B+u and hot 2A-g excited states of carotenoids revisited by femtosecond stimulated Raman spectroscopy.

The significance of carotenoids in biological systems cannot be overstated. Their functionality largely arises from unique excited-state dynamics, where photon absorption promotes the molecule to the optically allowed 1B+u state (conventionally S), which rapidly decays to the optically forbidden 2A-g state (S). While the vibrational signature of the S state is well established, that of the initial S state has remained elusive.

Droughts are increasing with climate change, affecting the functioning of terrestrial ecosystems and limiting their capacity to mitigate rising atmospheric CO levels. However, there is still large uncertainty on the long-term impacts of drought on ecosystem carbon (C) cycling, and how this determines the effect of subsequent droughts. Here, we aimed to quantify how drought legacy affects the response of a heathland ecosystem to a subsequent drought for two life stages of Calluna vulgaris resulting from different mowing regimes.

Hubs, influencers, and communities of executive functions: a task-based fMRI graph analysis.

Front Hum Neurosci

August 2025

Baptist Medical Center, Department of Behavioral Health, Jacksonville, FL, United States.

Introduction: This study investigates four subdomains of executive functioning-initiation, cognitive inhibition, mental shifting, and working memory-using task-based functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) data and graph analysis.

Methods: We used healthy adults' functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) data to construct brain connectomes and network graphs for each task and analyzed global and node-level graph metrics.

Results: The bilateral precuneus and right medial prefrontal cortex emerged as pivotal hubs and influencers, emphasizing their crucial regulatory role in all four subdomains of executive function.

Mean Airway Pressure-An Informative but Overlooked Indicator of Mechanical Power.

Crit Care Explor

September 2025

Division of Pulmonary, Allergy, Critical Care, and Sleep, University of Minnesota, Minneapolis, MN.

Mean airway pressure, a monitored variable continuously available on the modern ventilator, is the pressure measured at the airway opening averaged over the time needed to complete the entire respiratory cycle. Mean airway pressure is well recognized to connect three key physiologic processes in mechanical ventilation: physical stretch, cardiovascular dynamics, and pulmonary gas exchange. Although other parameters currently employed in adults to determine "safe" ventilation are undoubtedly valuable for daily practice, all have limitations for continuous monitoring of ventilation hazard.
