Key message Quantitative mass spectrometry of Arabidopsis telomerase uncovered AtLa1, a homolog of ciliate and yeast proteins that promotes telomerase maturation. AtLa1 is essential for telomerase function in vivo, and in vitro it engages the same region of AtTR bound by AtNAP57, homologous to a telomerase accessory from mammals. Abstract Striking divergence is evident in the biogenesis pathways and protein complements of telo...
Shoulder Kinematic and Muscle Activity Compensations to Scapular Stabilizer Weakness: An Optimal Control FrameworkNARA Subscribed
Purpose Shoulder kinematic and muscular redundancy promotes considerable variability, obscuring possible insights into neuromuscular control and compensation mechanisms for muscle weakness or fatigue. The current study harnessed recent advancements in optimal control formulations for computational musculoskeletal models to determine potential neuromuscular control strategies to compensate for isolated muscle weakness. Methods...
Colletotrichum is a fungal genus, comprising many plant pathogens that pose a significant threat to agriculture globally, however, their diversity and host range on Australian native plants remain poorly understood. Colletotrichum pyricola , first described as a fruit rot pathogen of Pyrus communis (common pear) in New Zealand, has also been reported in Australia, but its broader host range and potential biosecurity risk remai...
Spring ecosystems in arid regions often serve as crucial biodiversity hotspots by providing some of the only reliable sources of surface water. However, anthropogenic activities and climate change have severely degraded spring ecosystems worldwide, emphasizing the need for large‐scale multidisciplinary studies informing conservation efforts. Here, we analyzed characteristics of 1121 widely dispersed springs within the Great Ba...
Calibration of the species threat abatement and restoration metric's threat abatement component in a Costa Rican landscapeNARA Subscribed
Achieving global conservation policy goals requires the ability to set and measure progress toward science‐based targets for biodiversity. The species threat abatement and restoration (STAR) metric was developed to enable actors to set science‐based targets for species. STAR scores quantify the potential contribution of actions to abate threats and restore habitat to reduce species extinction risk in a particular place and can...
Interpretable deep learning reveals spatiotemporal MRI features of brain aging that align with neurodegenerationNARA Subscribed
Cortical thinning and atrophy are hallmarks of brain aging that have been characterized using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Brain aging involves many neuroanatomic features whose effects on brain structure remain unexplored. To address this challenge, we trained interpretable deep neural networks (DNNs) to estimate brain age (BA) from T 1 -weighted ( T 1 w) MRI. By identifying MRI features unapparent to humans, DNNs can fi...
