  2. A synthetic protein-level neural network in mammalian cells

    Bringing neural networks to life
    A synthetic protein-based winner-take-all neural network controls cell fate decisions
    science.org/doi/10.1126/scienc

    Chen et al. describe a protein-level synthetic circuit framework that implements a “winner-take-all” neural network capable of classifying the relative abundance of multiple inputs to modify the circuit output. This network replicates various classification circuits by adjusting the relative concentrations of a few components. By connecting this circuit to molecular pathways that regulate apoptosis, the authors demonstrate the promise of this approach for programming cell fate outcomes. This could be extended to design complex neural circuits that augment the computational capacity of cells.

    perceptein: a combination of protein and perceptron.

  3. We're just migrated from another instance, so here is our (re)introduction:

    Neurofrontiers is a bilingual blog about interesting neuroscience topics that tries to be accessible to the broader public while still maintaining scientific accuracy. It's run by a team of two people: a computational neuroscientist, and a graphic designer. We think that being on social media allows us to stay up-to-date with the most recent discussions in science and hope to be able to connect with like-minded individuals.

  4. Does anyone have strong opinions on what the best/most sensitive low volume spectrophotometer is? Looking to quantify low concentrations of fluorescently labelled protein, not just DNA etc

  5. Peptide Capsules Could Help to Build Artificial Oxygen Carriers

    Triblock peptide encapsulates a perfluorocarbon that dissolves large amounts of oxygen, has potential uses in medicine

  6. `There are possible benefits, however, to the cycle's absence in mammalian cells. The cycle is present in microorganisms that cause disease..There is a strong plausibility of the development of antibiotics that would attack the glyoxylate cycle, which would kill the disease-causing microorganisms that depend on the cycle for their survival, yet would not harm humans where the cycle, and thus the enzymes that the antibiotic would target, are absent`

  8. After 4 years (on and off) of attempts, I've finally gotten over a major bureaucratic hurdle in my degree progress at #YorkU, I can finally say, without reservation, that I am a #Biochem major.
    (Whether I'm at 60+ or 90+ credits is a bit of bureaucracy for another day.)

    The “I'm a third-year undeclared major in Liberal Arts taking genetics” bit was getting embarrassing.

    Now, if I could get myself a transfer to #McMasterUniversity here in #HamiltonON for the next semester, things would be perfect...

  9. #OTD in 2002 Dr David Charlton published a patent describing a lateral flow assay.

    The #patent ran out in November 2019, just a few months before we all became all so familiar with the technology.

  10. CW: Introduction repost

    Reposting the reintroduction😅 as there's so many new people here:

    It looks like this platform might finally become more populated, so let me (re)introduce this page.

    Neurofrontiers is a bilingual blog about interesting neuroscience topics that tries to be accessible to the broader public while still maintaining scientific accuracy. It's run by a team of three people: a computational neuroscientist, a psychologist, and a graphic designer. We think that being on social media allows us to stay up-to-date with the most recent discussions in science and hope to be able to connect with like-minded individuals.
