Probing Neutron Star Crusts with Artificial Neural Networks
Department of Energy, Office of Science

The inner crust of a neutron star is characterized by the presence of a neutron superfluid. To accurately predict the properties of neutron matter in this state, researchers make theoretical calculations that typically assume that neutrons form “Cooper pairs.” This study used artificial neural networks to make accurate predictions without relying on this assumption.

PIM-1L Kinase Binds to and Inactivates SRPK1: A Biochemical and Molecular Dynamics Study
National Center For Scientific Research Demokritos

SR/RS dipeptide repeats vary in both length and position, and are phosphorylated by SR protein kinases (SRPKs). PIM-1L, the long isoform of PIM-1 kinase, the splicing of which has been implicated in acute myeloid leukemia, contains a domain that consists largely of repeating SR/RS and SH/HS dipeptides (SR/SH-rich).
