Despite similar infection rates, COVID-19 has resulted in more deaths men than women. To understand the underlying mechanisms behind this sex-biased difference disease severity, we infected K18-human angiotensin converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) mice of both sexes with SARS-CoV-2. Our study revealed a unique protein expression profile lung microenvironment female mice. As result, they were less vulnerable to severe infection, higher ACE2 and estrogen receptor α (ERα)/androgen (AR) ratio that led...

Statins are highly prevalent in patients with coronary artery disease. exert their anti-inflammatory effects on the vascular wall and circulating levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines. However, increasing attention revealed exacerbation macrophage inflammation induced by statins, a clear mechanistic explanation whether detrimental statins inflammatory phenotypes outweigh beneficial is has not yet been established. Here, RNA-sequencing RT-qPCR analyses demonstrated that significantly...

Offline reinforcement learning enables agents to leverage large pre-collected datasets of environment transitions learn control policies, circumventing the need for potentially expensive or unsafe online data collection. Significant progress has been made recently in offline model-based learning, approaches which a learned dynamics model. This typically involves constructing probabilistic model, and using model uncertainty penalize rewards where there is insufficient data, solving...

A key theme in the past decade has been that when large neural networks and datasets combine they can produce remarkable results. In deep reinforcement learning (RL), this paradigm is commonly made possible through experience replay, whereby a dataset of experiences used to train policy or value function. However, unlike supervised self-supervised learning, an RL agent collect its own data, which often limited. Thus, it challenging reap benefits even small overfit at start training. work, we...
