Traveling waves in attention networks inherit the rhythms of sensory systems

The paper investigates whether traveling waves in attention networks reflect top-down attention signals or are a byproduct of sustained attention, finding they align with the intrinsic rhythms of engaged sensory systems.

Evaluating State-Transition Models in Short Resting-State fMRI with Continuous-Dynamics Controls

This study compares hidden Markov models (HMMs) and vector autoregressive (VAR) models in resting-state fMRI to determine if apparent state transitions reflect discrete dynamics or continuous activity, finding that VAR often outperforms HMMs in continuous cases.

40 Hz visual stimulation increases gamma-band functional connectivity between visual, parietal and frontal regions

This study shows that 40 Hz visual stimulation increases gamma-band functional connectivity between visual, parietal, and frontal regions, with the visual-parietal connection being most significant.

Early Increases in Hippocampal Synchrony Predict Chronic Epileptiform Burden in a Temporal Lobe Epilepsy Model

Protify: A Benchmarking Platform Revealing Task Dependence and Homology Leakage in Protein Language Model Evaluation

Protify benchmarks protein language models across tasks and evaluation settings, revealing task dependence and homology leakage in model performance.

Genomic architecture of the major histocompatibility complex genes in the Neotropical Midas cichlid

This study characterizes the MHC genomic architecture in the Midas cichlid using integrated genomic and transcriptomic analyses, revealing gene diversity, evolutionary patterns, and tissue-specific expression.

Reconstruction of Cellular Trajectories with Biologically Interpretable States

The paper proposes a Latent Cell-State Model to reconstruct cellular trajectories by inferring hidden cell states and generating gene expression profiles at unobserved timepoints.

Acute nicotine exposure produces a spatially organized transcriptional response in mouse olfactory cortex

This study shows that acute nicotine exposure induces a spatially organized transcriptional response in mouse olfactory cortex, affecting specific neurons and their surrounding astrocytes.

A comparative transcriptomic framework across kidney organoid, assembloid, and transplantation models

The paper compares transcriptomic profiles across kidney organoid, assembloid, and transplantation models to evaluate their maturity and suitability for research.

TRACE: a framework for traceable biomedical resource construction demonstrated through single-cell glaucoma data

TRACE provides a framework for creating traceable biomedical resources, demonstrated with a single-cell glaucoma dataset, enabling reproducible analyses and resource reuse.

Variation in the embryonic cell lineages of Caenorhabditis elegans natural populations

The paper quantifies developmental variation in C. elegans natural populations using embGAN, finding genotype-specific differences in cell-cycle timing that exceed within-strain variation.

Phenotypic and Molecular Characterization of Potentially New Shigella boydii Serotype in Bangladesh

The paper characterizes a unique cluster of Shigella-like organisms in Bangladesh, identifying them as potentially a new serotype of S. boydii based on phenotypic, genotypic, and serological analyses.

Gut Roseburia hominis-derived 10-hydroxystearic acid alleviates metabolic disorder by restoring hepatic fatty acid metabolism

This study identifies Roseburia hominis-derived 10-hydroxystearic acid as a metabolite that improves metabolic health by restoring hepatic fatty acid metabolism in mice.

Mapping the regulatory wiring of endothelial cell differentiation reveals a critical role for Hippo mechanosignaling

The paper maps gene regulators of endothelial cell differentiation using CRISPR and single-cell RNA-seq, identifying Hippo mechanosignaling as critical for endothelial identity.

Hijacking Cellular S-Acylation with Molecular Assemblies Rewires Oncogenic Signaling

This paper shows that targeting cellular S-acylation with synthetic compounds can spatially disrupt KRAS signaling and stress responses in cancer cells.

Light-dependent conversion of body color change pattern during zebrafish development

This study shows that light exposure during rearing induces a developmental switch in zebrafish body color response to light, independent of pineal photoreceptors.

Unlocking Targeted Underwater Delivery of Coral Probiotics

This study develops alginate-based delivery systems for coral probiotics, showing increased probiotic colonization in treated corals.

Infant Sensory Over-Responsivity: Relations to Early Life Adversity, Emerging Behavioral Problems, and Sensory Functional Connectivity

This study identifies prenatal adversity and neonatal brain connectivity as predictors of infant sensory over-responsivity, which links to later behavioral problems.

ACTIVATION OF THE ARYL HYDROCARBON RECEPTOR REDUCES VISCERAL HYPERSENSITIVITY IN A MOUSE MODEL OF COLITIS IN REMISSION

This study shows that activating the AhR in TRPV1+ nociceptors reduces visceral hypersensitivity in post-colitis mice, suggesting AhR as a therapeutic target for IBD-related abdominal pain.
