Dual-role transcription factors stabilize intermediate expression levelsCondensate-forming dual-action TFs are identified that reduce high expression but increase low expression of target genes to achieve stable intermediate levels, which is critical for the regulation of poised developmental gene programs.Condensate-forming dual-action TFs are identified that reduce high expression but increase low expression of target genes to achieve […]

Bringing vRAN anywhere with liquid coolingThere’s a disconnect between network infrastructure miniaturization and air-cooling techniques; liquid cooling is key to delivering vRAN for public and private networks Operators globally are undertaking major radio access network (RAN) modernization projects with an emphasis on new distributed and open architectures and RAN virtualization (vRAN). At the same time, […]

Ericsson sees cloudification as a pillar of Open RANOn the push to industrializing Open RAN, Ericsson focused on cloudification, automation and open interfaces Operators around the world are investing in RAN modernization and, along with it, architectural shifts to open interfaces and cloud-based platforms that enable more robust automation tooling. With a leading position in […]

Ookla tests the Galaxy S24; Samsung back on top of smartphone marketSamsung’s Galaxy S24 provided ‘statistically significant’ improvement in 5G download speeds across seven out of 15 countries, according to Ookla testing Samsung’s newest Galaxy models provide faster median 5G download speeds in about half of the global markets in recent testing by Ookla, and […]

Global, site-resolved analysis of ubiquitylation occupancy and turnover rate reveals systems propertiesThe occupancy of ubiquitylation sites is very low and inherently constrained by the amount of ubiquitin molecules, resulting in an ubiquitylation system that operates with the principle of low abundance and fast turnover.The occupancy of ubiquitylation sites is very low and inherently constrained by […]

Siemens and Microsoft standardize digital-twin languages Siemens and Microsoft will converge two different digital-twin programming languages as a “unified standard” in order to simplify and scale IoT projects. They are working with the W3C standards organization to make Microsoft’s open-source Digital Twin Definition Language (DTDL) compatible with the W3C’s emerging Thing Description standard, which is already […]
