Proper regulation of microtubule (MT) dynamics is critical for cellular processes including cell division and intracellular transport. Plus-end tracking proteins (+TIPs) dynamically track growing MTs and play a key role in MT regulation. +TIPs participate in a complex web of intra- and inter- molecular interactions known as the +TIP network. Hypotheses addressing the purpose of +TIP:+TIP interactions include relieving +TIP autoinhibition and localizing MT regulators to growing MT ends. In addition, we have proposed that the web of +TIP:+TIP interactions has a physical purpose: creating a dynamic scaffold that constrains the structural fluctuations of the fragile MT tip and thus acts as a polymerization chaperone. Here we examine the possibility that this proposed scaffold is a biomolecular condensate (i.e., liquid droplet). Many animal +TIP network proteins are multivalent and have intrinsically disordered regions, features commonly found in biomolecular condensates. Moreover, previous studies have shown that overexpression of the +TIP CLIP-170 induces large “patch” structures containing CLIP-170 and other +TIPs; we hypothesized that these structures might be biomolecular condensates. To test this hypothesis, we used video microscopy, immunofluorescence staining, and Fluorescence Recovery After Photobleaching (FRAP). Our data show that the CLIP-170-induced patches have hallmarks indicative of a biomolecular condensate, one that contains +TIP proteins and excludes other known condensate markers. Moreover, bioinformatic studies demonstrate that the presence of intrinsically disordered regions is conserved in key +TIPs, implying that these regions are functionally significant. Together, these results indicate that the CLIP-170 induced patches in cells are phase-separated liquid condensates and raise the possibility that the endogenous +TIP network might form a liquid droplet at MT ends or other +TIP locations.

Abstract Objective: Emphysema is characterized by the destruction and permanent enlargement of the alveoli in the lung. According to visual CT appearance, emphysema can be divided into three subtypes: centrilobular emphysema (CLE), panlobular emphysema (PLE), and paraseptal emphysema (PSE). Automating emphysema classification can help precisely determine the patterns of lung destruction and provide a quantitative evaluation. Approach: We propose a vision transformer (ViT) model to classify the emphysema subtypes via CT images. First, large patches (61×61) are cropped from CT images which contain the area of normal lung parenchyma (NLP), CLE, PLE, and PSE. After resizing, the large patch is divided into small patches and these small patches are converted to a sequence of patch embeddings by flattening and linear embedding. A class embedding is concatenated to the patch embedding, and the positional embedding is added to the resulting embeddings described above. Then, the obtained embedding is fed into the transformer encoder blocks to generate the final representation. Finally, the learnable class embedding is fed to a softmax layer to classify the emphysema. Main results: To overcome the lack of massive data, the transformer encoder blocks (pre-trained on ImageNet) are transferred and fine-tuned in our ViT model. The average accuracy of the pre-trained ViT model achieves 95.95% in our lab’s own dataset which is higher than that of AlexNet, Inception-V3, MobileNet-V2, ResNet34, and ResNet50. Meanwhile, the pre-trained ViT model outperforms the ViT model without the pre-training. The accuracy of our pre-trained ViT model is higher than or comparable to that by available methods for the public dataset. Significance: The results demonstrated that the proposed ViT model can accurately classify the subtypes of emphysema using CT images. The ViT model can help make an effective computer-aided diagnosis of emphysema, and the ViT method can be extended to other medical applications.

It has been suggested that the remote distractor effect is the result of nontarget stimulation of a central region representing a collicular fixation zone near the time of target onset. The distributed network of the cells responsible for this effect is believed to extend over a large area, responding to distractors ≤10 deg in the periphery. Several studies also implicate the superior colliculus as the substrate behind an inhibited saccadic response arising from a display change. We investigated this further by using a patch of pink noise of various sizes as a nontarget stimulus. We show that the onset of a small patch (2.3 × 2.3 deg) of centrally displayed pink noise can produce a significant increase in saccadic latency to a simultaneously presented peripheral Gabor target. In contrast, a large patch (36 × 36 deg) of pink noise did not increase latency despite the fact that it also stimulated the region representing the fixation zone. Furthermore, only the large patch of noise facilitated latency when presented before target onset. We also examined the effect of patch sizes between these two extremes and found a steady decrease in latency as patch size increased. This confirms that nontarget stimulation of the region representing the fixation zone near the time of target onset is not in itself sufficient to produce the increase in latency typically found with remote distractors. The results are consistent with the idea that only a spatially confined object leads to a discharge of collicular fixation neurons.
