TL;DR: Using human cultured cells, it is demonstrated that a tardigrade-unique DNA-associating protein suppresses X-ray-induced DNA damage by ∼40% and improves radiotolerance, indicating the relevance of tardigrate-unique proteins to tolerability and tardigades could be a bountiful source of new protection genes and mechanisms.

TL;DR: The proposed method can generate more natural spectral parameters and $F_0$ than conventional minimum generation error training algorithm regardless of its hyperparameter settings, and it is found that a Wasserstein GAN minimizing the Earth-Mover's distance works the best in terms of improving the synthetic speech quality.

TL;DR: Experimental results demonstrate that PPGs successfully improve both naturalness and speaker similarity of the converted speech, and both speaker codes and d-vectors can be adopted to the VAE-based many-to-many non-parallel VC.

TL;DR: Findings suggest that both the psm-mec transcript, acting as a regulatory RNA, and the PSM- mec protein encoded by the gene on the mobile genetic element SCCmec regulate the virulence of Staphylococcus aureus.

TL;DR: The results show that adult CD34+ cells develop into functional CD5+ B cells in NOG spleen as much as fetal CD34- cells do.
