To date, reported influenza A(H5N1) human cases have typically occurred in the lower respiratory tract with a high case fatality rate. There is prior evidence of some influenza A(H5N1) strains being a small number of amino acid mutations away from achieving droplet transmissibility, possibly allowing them to be spread between humans. We present a mechanistic within-host influenza A(H5N1) infection model, novel for its explicit consideration of the biological differences between the upper and lower respiratory tracts. We then estimate a distribution of viral lifespans and effective replication rates in human H5N1 influenza cases. By combining our within-host model with a viral mutation model, we determine the probability of an infected individual generating a droplet transmissible strain of influenza A(H5N1) through mutation. For three mutations, we found a peak probability of approximately [Formula: see text] that a human case of H5N1 influenza produces at least one virion during the infectious period. Our findings provide insights into the risk of differing infectious pathways of influenza A(H5N1) (namely avian-human versus avian-mammal-human routes), demonstrating the three-mutation pathway being a cause of concern in human cases.","PeriodicalId":17488,"journal":{"name":"Journal of The Royal Society Interface","volume":"22 228","pages":"20240910"},"PeriodicalIF":3.7,"publicationDate":"2025-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144540672","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"综合性期刊","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Recent studies on the mechanisms of enamel wear have yielded conflicting results, highlighting the need for more realistic experimental approaches. Here, we introduce a novel experimental methodology based on nanotechnology techniques and micromechanical/materials testing to simulate and characterize, for the first time, in vitro microwear caused by the sliding of artificial models of soft leaves containing phytolith particles against human dental enamel. While embedded phytoliths undergo mechanical degradation upon cyclic contacts, they increase the extent of pre-existing wear in enamel and decrease its mineral content. Surprisingly, the primary wear mechanism of enamel is 'quasi-plastic' (i.e. permanent) deformation enabled by failure of weak interphases, dominated at the microstructural scale. Mechanisms responsible for material removal in enamel at different length scales are identified and discussed. This research offers new insights into enamel failure that can further reveal information about an animal's biology, behaviour, biomechanics and ecology, offering an interdisciplinary approach to the interface between the physical and life sciences.","PeriodicalId":17488,"journal":{"name":"Journal of The Royal Society Interface","volume":"22 228","pages":"20250175"},"PeriodicalIF":3.7,"publicationDate":"2025-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144540673","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"综合性期刊","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A key challenge in this process is dynamically calibrating computational models to individual patients using data collected over time. This calibration is vital for improving model-based predictions and enabling personalized medicine. Biomedical models are often complex, incorporating multiple scales of biology and both stochastic and spatially heterogeneous elements. Agent-based models, which simulate autonomous agents, such as cells, are commonly used to capture how local interactions affect system-level behaviour. However, no standard personalization methods exist for these models. The main challenge is bridging the gap between clinically measurable macrostates (e.g. blood pressure and heart rate) and the detailed microstate data (e.g. cellular processes) needed to run the model. In this article, we propose an algorithm that applies the ensemble Kalman filter, a classic data-assimilation technique, at the macrostate level. We then link the Kalman update at the macrostate to corresponding updates at the microstate level, ensuring that the resulting microstates are compatible with the desired macrostates and consistent with the model's dynamics. This approach improves the personalization of complex biomedical models and enhances model-based forecasts for individual patients.","PeriodicalId":17488,"journal":{"name":"Journal of The Royal Society Interface","volume":"22 228","pages":"20250055"},"PeriodicalIF":3.7,"publicationDate":"2025-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144540674","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"综合性期刊","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This is within the reported range of Strouhal numbers of various flying and swimming animals. Peak dimensionless circulation of paddle tip vortices increased linearly with stroke kinematics but was mostly unaffected by fluid viscosity.

To investigate gender differences in resume writing and how they are associated with gender gaps in the labour market, we analysed 6.9 million resumes of Chinese job applicants in this study. Results reveal substantial gender resume differences, where women and men show distinct patterns in both simple language features and high-level semantic structures in the word embedding space of resumes. In particular, women tend to use shorter resumes, longer sentences and a more diverse set of unique words. Neural network models trained on resumes can predict gender with 80% accuracy, and the accuracy decreases with education levels and text standardization requirements. Moreover, while better language skills are associated with higher salary expectations, this positive relationship is magnified for men but weakened for women in women-dominated occupations.

Their activity at small scales, where they search for food sources in a highly heterogeneous and dynamic environment, for example controls the decomposition of organic matter. To be effective, these microorganisms have evolved sophisticated behaviours, which include extremely rapid swimming speeds, a precise chemosensing ability and particular swimming patterns. One of these peculiar motility patterns often recorded in the ocean is run-reverse (Mitchell et al 1996 Clustering of marine bacteria in seawater enrichments. Appl. Environ. Microbiol. 62, 3716-3721.

(doi:10.1073/pnas.1019199108), where bacteria alternate between forward (pushing) and backwards (pulling) swimming modes. In this study, we investigate whether this swimming pattern offers advantages to microorganisms that actively track small and light food sources carried by a dynamic flow. For that we develop an individual-based model, where elongated self-propelled particles (microswimmers) track passive food particles (tracers) in a random kinematic flow field, also known as synthetic turbulent flow. We compare the widely studied motility pattern of run-and-tumble with the run-reverse mode used by marine bacteria. Our results reveal a significant hydrodynamic advantage of the run-reverse motility pattern of bacteria combined with their elongated shapes for efficiently tracking light food sources in dynamic fluid environments.","PeriodicalId":17488,"journal":{"name":"Journal of The Royal Society Interface","volume":"22 227","pages":"20250037"},"PeriodicalIF":3.7,"publicationDate":"2025-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12173485/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144317246","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"综合性期刊","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

When designing such models, it is important to accurately account for sources of stochasticity. However, doing so can be computationally expensive and analytically untractable, posing limits on the extent of our explorations and on parameter inference. Here, we explore this challenge using the example of a simple auto-negative feedback motif, in which we incorporate stochastic variation due to transcriptional bursting and noise from finite copy numbers. We find that transcriptional bursting may change the qualitative dynamics of the system by inducing oscillations when they would not otherwise be present, or by magnifying existing oscillations. We describe multiple levels of approximation for the model in the form of differential equations, piecewise-deterministic processes and stochastic differential equations. Importantly, we derive how the classical chemical Langevin equation can be extended to include a noise term representing transcriptional bursting. This approximation drastically decreases computation times and allows us to analytically calculate properties of the dynamics, such as their power spectrum. We explore when these approximations break down and provide recommendations for their use. Our analysis illustrates the importance of accounting for transcriptional bursting when simulating gene regulatory network dynamics and provides recommendations to do so with computationally efficient methods.","PeriodicalId":17488,"journal":{"name":"Journal of The Royal Society Interface","volume":"22 227","pages":"20250170"},"PeriodicalIF":3.7,"publicationDate":"2025-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12187408/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144484829","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"综合性期刊","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
