Objective Dysfunction of the default mode network (DMN) is strongly linked to pain processing, as well as onset and progression of chronic pain disorders; however, its specific role in the pathogenesis of tension-type headache (TTH) remains incompletely understood. This study aims to explore the network homogeneity (NH) of the DMN in the pathophysiological mechanisms underlying TTH. Methods...

PcncAAAD is a noncanonical fungal aromatic L-amino acid decarboxylase (AAAD) featuring a unique appendage C-terminal domain (CTD) and two metal-binding sites. Unlike its mammalian and plant counterparts, PcncAAAD is activated by calcium, although the exact activation mechanism remains unclear. Here, we establish an in silico RMSD-based evaluation model through molecular dynamics simulations,...

Abstract PcncAAAD is a calcium-activatable noncanonical aromatic L-amino acid decarboxylase (AAAD) featuring a unique appendage C-terminal domain (CTD) and two metal-binding sites. In this study, we establish an in silico RMSD-based evaluation model through molecular dynamics simulations, validated by in vitro enzyme assays, to decipher the enzyme’s calcium activation mechanism. Between the two...

This study introduced a Multimodal Mindfulness-Training System. Our installation, 'EmotionCarrier', correlates traditional calligraphy interactions with real-time physiological data from an Apple Watch. We aim to enhance mindfulness training effectiveness, aiding in achieving physiological calmness through calligraphy practice. Our experiments with varied participant groups focused on data...
