The extracellular loop 2 (ECL2) of the human histamine H4 receptor substantially contributes to ligand binding and constitutive activity. by David Wifling, Günther Bernhardt, Stefan Dove, Armin Buschauer

“…To study the role of the FF motif in ECL2, we generated the hH4R-F168A mutant. The receptor was co-expressed in Sf9 insect cells with the G-protein subunits Gαi2 and Gβ1γ2, and the membranes were studied in [3H]histamine binding and functional [35S]GTPγS assays. …”

A revised understanding of Tribolium morphogenesis further reconciles short and long germ development. by Matthew A Benton

“…In contrast, most insect embryos undergo a complicated set of tissue rearrangements to generate a condensed, multilayered germband. The ventral side of the germband is embryonic, while the dorsal side is thought to be an extraembryonic tissue called the amnion. …”

On the added value of sequential deep learning for the upscaling of evapotranspiration by B. Kraft, B. Kraft, B. Kraft, J. A. Nelson, S. Walther, F. Gans, U. Weber, G. Duveiller, M. Reichstein, W. Zhang, M. Rußwurm, D. Tuia, M. Körner, Z. Hamdi, M. Jung

“…XGBoost showed a smaller ensemble spread compared to neural networks, in particular when conditions were poorly represented in the training data, but it was more sensitive to the covariate setup. Plant functional types were useful at the site level for the improved representation of spatial patterns but had a significant leverage on upscaling results – i.e., having a disproportionate impact on the spatial patterns, especially for XGBoost, but less for the LSTM model.…”
