Flexible retinomorphic vision sensors with scotopic and photopic adaptation for a fully flexible neuromorphic machine vision system by Lei Shi, Ke Shi, Zhi‐Cheng Zhang, Yuan Li, Fu‐Dong Wang, Shu‐Han Si, Zhi‐Bo Liu, Tong‐Bu Lu, Xu‐Dong Chen, Jin Zhang

“…However, the large intensity range of natural lights and complex illumination conditions in actual scenarios always require the NMVS to dynamically adjust its sensitivity according to the environmental conditions, just like the visual adaptation function of the human retina. Although some opto‐sensors with scotopic or photopic adaption have been developed, NMVSs, especially fully flexible NMVSs, with both scotopic and photopic adaptation functions are rarely reported. …”

Gravitational-wave Parameter Estimation in Non-Gaussian Noise Using Score-based Likelihood Characterization by Ronan Legin, Maximiliano Isi, Kaze W. K. Wong, Yashar Hezaveh, Laurence Perreault-Levasseur

“…Assuming only noise additivity, we employ score-based diffusion models to learn an empirical noise distribution directly from detector data and then combine it with a deterministic waveform model to provide an unbiased estimate of the likelihood function. We validate the method by performing inference on a subset of GW parameters from 400 mock observations, containing real LIGO noise from either the Livingston or Hanford detectors. …”

Nuclear Condensates of WW Domain‐Containing Adaptor With Coiled‐Coil Regulate Mitophagy via Alternative Splicing by Jiahe Wang, Yi Fan, Guowen Luo, Liang Xiong, Lijie Wang, Zhuoxuan Wu, Jiayi Wang, Zhengying Peng, Clifford J Rosen, Kefeng Lu, Junjun Jing, Quan Yuan, Zhenwei Zhang, Chenchen Zhou

“…Abstract Biomolecular condensates segregate nuclei into discrete regions, facilitating the execution of distinct biological functions. Here, it is identified that the WW domain containing adaptor with coiled‐coil (WAC) is localized to nuclear speckles via its WW domain and plays a pivotal role in regulating alternative splicing through the formation of biomolecular condensates via its C‐terminal coiled‐coil (CC) domain. …”

Targeting the TRIM14/USP14 axis enhances radiotherapy efficacy by inducing GPX4 degradation and disrupting ferroptotic defense in HCC by Xin Yue, Zhen Xiang, Yang Yi, Xuecen Wang, Weilin Zhou, Weijian Wu, Wenjing Qin, Yuxuan Zhao, Xianzhang Bu, Zhenwei Peng

“…The TRIM14/USP14 complex facilitates the excision of pronounced K48-linked polyubiquitination at lysine residues 48 or 118 on GPX4, thereby preserving GPX4’s structural integrity and antioxidative function to counteract ferroptosis. Intriguingly, TRIM14-mediated GPX4 stabilization is further amplified in radioresistant HCC, and subsequent radiation enables USP14-dependent blockade of GPX4 degradation. …”
