Single-nuclei sequencing of skeletal muscle reveals subsynaptic-specific transcripts involved in neuromuscular junction maintenance by Alexander S. Ham, Shuo Lin, Alice Tse, Marco Thürkauf, Timothy J. McGowan, Lena Jörin, Filippo Oliveri, Markus A. Rüegg

“…The data show that NMJ gene expression is not only driven by agrin-Lrp4/MuSK signaling but is also affected by electrical activity and trophic factors other than agrin. By selecting the three NMJ genes Etv4, Lrtm1, and Pdzrn4, we further characterize novel contributors to NMJ stability and function. …”

Texture-preserving and information loss minimization method for infrared and visible image fusion by Qiyuan He, Yongdong Huang

“…TPFusion consists of the following key components: a multi-scale feature extraction module for enhancing the capability of capturing features; a texture enhancement module and contrast enhancement module, which helps to preserve fine-grained textures and extract salient contours and contrast information; a dual-attention fusion module for fusing the features extracted from the source images; an information content based loss function minimizing the feature discrepancy between the fused images and the source images and effectively reducing the information loss. …”

cogsworth: A Gala of COSMIC Proportions Combining Binary Stellar Evolution and Galactic Dynamics by Tom Wagg, Katelyn Breivik, Mathieu Renzo, Adrian M. Price-Whelan

“…Alternatively, several analytic models are available for galactic potentials and star formation histories. cogsworth can also transform the intrinsic simulated population into an observed population using dust maps, bolometric correction functions, and survey selection functions. We provide a detailed explanation of the functionality of cogsworth and demonstrate its capabilities through a series of use cases: (1) we predict the spatial distribution of compact objects and runaways in both dwarf and Milky Way–like galaxies; (2) using a star cluster from a hydrodynamical simulation, we show how supernovae can change the orbits of stars in several ways; and (3) we predict the separation of disrupted binary stellar companions on the sky and create a synthetic Gaia color–magnitude diagram. …”
