    Association of Demographic and Socioeconomic Indicators With the Use of Wearable Devices Among Children

    We examined whether demographic and socioeconomic indicators are associated with willingness to join a wearable device study and adherence to wearable data collection in children.

    Emergence of terpene chemical communication in insects: Evolutionary recruitment of isoprenoid metabolism

    We present the first structural and mechanistic model for the evolutionary emergence of TPS function in insects. Through identifying key mechanistic differences between IDS and TPS enzymes, we hypothesize that the loss of isopentenyl diphosphate (IPP) binding motifs strongly correlates with the gain of the TPS function.
