In type 1 diabetes (T1D), autoimmune response and inflammation cause the death of pancreatic ß cells, leading to the body’s inability to produce insulin and maintain glucose homeostasis. This process is at least in part mediated by pro-inflammatory cytokines, such as interferon (IFN)a, IFN?, interleukin (IL)-1ß, and tumor necrosis factor (TNF)a, which induce ß-cell dysfunction and apoptosis. A deep understanding of the ß-cell signaling and regulatory networks induced by these cytokines could lead to the identification of therapeutic targets to prevent T1D development. To study cytokine-mediated islets/ß-cell signaling and regulatory networks, a variety of omics experiments have been conducted, including transcriptomics, epigenomics (DNA methylation, UMI-4C, ATAC-seq & ChIP-seq), proteomics (bottom-up, top-down, post-translational modification analysis), lipidomics, and metabolomics. The combination of these datasets can be instrumental in identifying signaling components and regulatory factors involved in ß-cell stress/death. Here, we aggregated these multiple omics datasets into a centralized location, providing a quality-controlled and statistically rigorous resource for investigators seeking to holistically study ß-cell regulation by pro-inflammatory cytokines.

Characterization of Multiple Trichloroethene, cis-Dichloroethene and 1,1-Dichloroethene Degrading Propanotrophic Communities

Aerobic cometabolism offers a viable strategy for the remediation of chlorinated solvent plumes at oxic sites where anaerobic approaches are limited. In this study, propane-enriched mixed cultures (derived from agricultural soils and an impacted site sediment) which previously degraded 1,4-dioxane, were evaluated for their capacity to also degrade trichloroethene (TCE), cis-1,2-dichloroethene (cDCE), and 1,1-dichloroethene (1,1-DCE) over successive transfers. Sustained biodegradation of TCE and cDCE was observed across multiple enrichments, and cultures enriched on one compound generally degraded the other. In contrast, 1,1-DCE biodegradation was restricted to a subset of cultures and removal times increased over transfers. Further, 1,1-DCE removal was absent at elevated concentrations, both trends consistent with inhibitory or toxic effects. Whole genome sequencing analyses revealed pronounced substrate-dependent selection of microbial communities, with cDCE-degrading cultures being dominated by Mycobacterium and Mycolicibacterium, whereas TCE-degrading cultures were dominated by Rhodococcus. Rhodococcus metagenome-assembled genomes (MAGs) in the TCE degrading cultures classified as R. opacus or R. wratislaviensis. 1,1-DCE degrading cultures were dominated by Pseudonocardia, although the associated MAGs contained a truncated propane monooxygenase alpha subunit. Functional gene analysis identified both group 5 (prmABCD) and putative group 6 propane monooxygenases. The following KBase narratives contain the quality controlled reads, MAGs (fasta assemblies) and the prokka annotations for each assembly TCE Site 1A and B Propanotrophic MAGs (https://narrative.kbase.us/narrative/254918) TCE Soil 2A and B Propanotrophic MAGs (https://narrative.kbase.us/narrative/254919) TCE Soil T3 A and B Propanotrophic MAGs (https://narrative.kbase.us/narrative/254920) TCE Soil T4 A and B Propanotrophic MAGs (https://narrative.kbase.us/narrative/254921) cDCE Site 1A 1B Propanotrophic MAGs (https://narrative.kbase.us/narrative/254915) cDCE Soils T2 A and B Propanotrophic MAGs (https://narrative.kbase.us/narrative/254927) cDCE Soil T3 A and B Propanotrophic MAGs (https://narrative.kbase.us/narrative/254928) cDCE Soil 4A and B Propanotrophic MAGs (https://narrative.kbase.us/narrative/254942) 1,1-DCE T2 T3 Propanotrophic MAGs (https://narrative.kbase.us/narrative/254903)

A Semi-Supervised Learning Method for the Identification of Bad Exposures in Large Imaging Surveys

As the data volume of astronomical imaging surveys rapidly increases, traditional methods for image anomaly detection, such as visual inspection by human experts, are becoming impractical. We introduce a machine-learning-based approach to detect poor-quality exposures in large imaging surveys, with a focus on the DECam Legacy Survey (DECaLS) in regions of low extinction (i.e., E ( B − V ) < 0.04 ). Our semi-supervised pipeline integrates a vision transformer (ViT), trained via self-supervised learning (SSL), with a k-Nearest Neighbor (kNN) classifier. We train and validate our pipeline using a small set of labeled exposures observed by surveys with the Dark Energy Camera (DECam). A clustering-space analysis of where our pipeline places images labeled in good and bad categories suggests that our approach can efficiently and accurately determine the quality of exposures. Applied to new imaging being reduced for DECaLS Data Release 11, our pipeline identifies 780 problematic exposures, which we subsequently verify through visual inspection. Being highly efficient and adaptable, our method offers a scalable solution for quality control in other large imaging surveys.

A User-Friendly GUI Tool for Automated Microstructural Analysis of Fiber-Reinforced Composites and Porous Structures

Understanding and quantifying microstructural features such as fiber orientation and porosity is critical for predicting the mechanical behavior and performance of fiber-reinforced polymer composites. Traditional manual analysis is time-consuming, subjective, and unsuitable for high-throughput datasets. We present a graphical user interface (GUI) application that automates the analysis of microscopy images to extract key microstructural metrics, including fiber orientation tensors, fiber orientation distribution, porosity and pore size distribution. The app integrates multiple image segmentation techniques including global and local thresholding, clustering, and region-based approaches, offering flexibility for different types of image qualities and features. Users can load microstructural images, select regions of interest and segmentation techniques tailored to their image dataset. It also addresses a critical challenge in fiber orientation analysis: the ambiguities caused by touching, overlapping, or partially cut fibers. It supports autorun examples for standardized workflows, enabling reproducible analysis and facilitating training and benchmarking. This tool significantly reduces manual intervention, enhances consistency, and accelerates data generation for structure–property modeling, process optimization, and digital materials research. The tool is intended for use by materials scientists, engineers, and researchers engaged in composite characterization, quality control, and machine learning-based microstructural studies.
