Human brain white matter charts in international populations

The paper develops population-specific white matter charts for Chinese and Western populations, showing differences in maturation timing and improved prediction accuracy when using population-matched models.

Conserved TIR-only proteins drive transcriptional defense and basal immunity in dicot and monocot plants

This study identifies conserved TIR-only proteins in dicots and monocots that promote basal immunity and transcriptional defense independently of NLR pathways.

Multimodal AI for Single cfDNA Profiling and Cancer Screening

The paper develops a Transformer-based model called cfAI to profile and detect cancer-derived cfDNA by integrating methylation, fragmentomics, and histone modifications, achieving high sensitivity and specificity in multi-cancer detection.

Single-cell RNA-seq reveals altered plasma cell subsets and decreased cytotoxicity of NK cells in patients with Kawasaki diseas

This study uses scRNA-seq to analyze PBMCs in KD patients and healthy controls, identifying altered B cell subsets and reduced NK cell cytotoxicity.

Dynamic cycles between idea generation and evaluation during creative storytelling

This study uses fMRI to show dynamic transitions between idea generation and evaluation during creative storytelling, supported by deep learning analysis of brain state transitions.

Angiotensin converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) is expressed in murine cutaneous under single-cell transcriptome resolution

This study identifies ACE2 expression in murine skin using single-cell RNA sequencing after wounding.

First report and multilocus genotyping of Enterocytozoon bieneusi from Tibetan pigs in southwestern China

This study reports the prevalence and genetic diversity of E. bieneusi in Tibetan pigs, identifying novel genotypes and zoonotic potential.

Inherited DNA Repair Defects in Colorectal Cancer

The paper identifies ATM and PALB2 as CRC risk genes through germline mutation analysis and highlights homologous recombination deficiency in CRC tumors.
