Internal business process governance and external regulation: How does AI technology empower financial performance?
No full textWe examine the impact of artificial intelligence (AI) technology on the financial performance of financial firms, focusing on the transmission role of business process governance from the perspective of corporate governance. We examine whether there is heterogeneity in the effects of different institutional environments, conducting an empirical analysis of the sample data of 152 Chinese financial firms from 2011 to 2022. AI technology improves financial enterprises' operational quality through risk management, internal governance, and internal control. Moreover, AI provides technical support to enhance service derivative capability by enhancing the number of businesses across cross-regional operations, resource competition, and customer excavation. We also identify that the enabling effect of digital technology on business process governance is affected by imitation pressure from peer firms. In contrast, the impact of government regulatory pressure is not significant

Lighting up arginine metabolism reveals its functional diversity in physiology and pathology
No full textArginine is one of the most metabolically versatile amino acids and plays pivotal roles in diverse biological and pathological processes; however, sensitive tracking of arginine dynamics in situ remains technically challenging. Here, we engineer high-performance fluorescent biosensors, denoted sensitive to arginine (STAR), to illuminate arginine metabolism in cells, mice, and clinical samples. Utilizing STAR, we demonstrate the effects of different amino acids in regulating intra- and extracellular arginine levels. STAR enabled live-cell monitoring of arginine fluctuations during macrophage activation, phagocytosis, efferocytosis, and senescence and revealed cellular senescence depending on arginine availability. Moreover, a simple and fast assay based on STAR revealed that serum arginine levels tended to increase with age, and the elevated serum arginine level is a potential indicator for discriminating the progression and severity of vitiligo. Collectively, our study provides important insights into the metabolic and functional roles of arginine, as well as its potential in diagnostic and therapeutic applications
