Using influence measures to test normative use of probability density information derived from a sample

The paper tests how humans use probability density information in decision-making by comparing their performance to Bayesian decision theory predictions, finding systematic deviations in influence measures.

Interleg coordination is not strictly controlled during walking

This study investigates interleg coordination during walking and finds that control is not strictly maintained until deviations from antiphase exceed a threshold, suggesting a dead zone in control similar to steering wheel dynamics.

Inhibition of the BMP pathway suppresses tumor growth via downregulation of EGFR in MEK/ERK-dependent colorectal cancer

This study shows that inhibiting the BMP pathway suppresses colorectal cancer growth by reducing EGFR, and combining BMP and MEK inhibition enhances therapeutic effects in patient-derived organoids.

Biomechanical characteristics of scapula and glenohumeral movements during pitching motion in injury-prone college baseball pitchers

This study compares biomechanical differences in scapular and glenohumeral movements between injury-prone and healthy college baseball pitchers during pitching, finding greater horizontal abduction and less scapular internal rotation in injury-prone pitchers.
