The Capillary endothelial cell-governed niche sustains angiogenesis in proliferating infantile hemangioma via multilayer stromal support

This study identifies capillary endothelial cells and their interactions with pericytes and mesenchymal stem cells as key drivers of angiogenesis in infantile hemangioma.

nanoASM: Long-Read Allele-Specific DNA Methylation Profiling Enables Functional Annotation of Regulatory Noncoding Variants in Human Prostate Tissues

The paper introduces nanoASM, a method for allele-specific methylation analysis using long-read sequencing, identifying functional noncoding variants in prostate cancer.

Distributed elasticity: a high-reward, moderate-risk strategy for efficient control modulation in insect flight

This study identifies a strategy for improving flight efficiency in insects by analyzing how distributed elasticity in flight motors affects resonance bands.

Enteric sensory neurons for nutrient detection and gut motility

This study creates a single-cell atlas of the murine enteric nervous system, identifies molecularly defined IPANs, and shows their role in nutrient detection and gut motility regulation.

Heterozygote Advantage of a Single-Copy SNAP18 Truncation Allele Enables Dominant SCN Resistance and Yield Preservation in Soybean

This paper identifies a SNAP18 truncation allele that provides dominant resistance to soybean cyst nematode and preserves yield through heterozygous expression.

SNAP18 Truncation Triggers a Competitive Binding Switch Between NSF and ATG8f, Balancing Vesicular Trafficking and Autophagy for SCN Resistance in Soybean

This paper identifies a novel soybean resistance mechanism where SNAP18 truncation switches protein function from vesicular trafficking to autophagy, enhancing resistance to soybean cyst nematodes.

Benchmarking, detection, and genotyping of structural variants in a population of whole-genome assemblies using the SVGAP pipeline

The paper benchmarks and evaluates SVGAP, a pipeline for structural variant discovery, genotyping, and annotation in whole-genome assemblies, showing its effectiveness in maize genomes.

Attention-based frontal-posterior coupling for visual consciousness in the human brain

The paper investigates how goal-directed attention contributes to conscious perception by analyzing intracranial EEG data and a psychophysical paradigm, finding that attention-based coupling between frontal and posterior brain regions is key to consciousness.

Identify Regulatory eQTLs by Multiome Sequencing in Prostate Single Cells

This study uses multiome single-cell sequencing to identify regulatory eQTLs in prostate cancer risk loci, finding overlaps with bulk eQTLs and validating new regulatory SNPs.

Intracranial neurophysiological correlates of rumination

This study examines intracranial EEG during rumination, finding increased slow frequency power in the precuneus and decreased high gamma power in the hippocampus, linked to reflection tendency.

Enhancing Agrobacterium-Mediated Soybean Transformation Efficiency with an Auxiliary Solution

This study improves soybean transformation efficiency using an auxiliary solution with Silwet L-77 and hormones, showing increased hairy root and hypocotyl transformation rates across varieties.

Domain-centric dissection and classification of prokaryotic poly(3-hydroxyalkanoate) synthases

The paper analyzes domain organization of prokaryotic PHA synthases to classify and understand their functional features across bacterial and archaeal species.

Extensive Expansion of the Speedy gene Family in Homininae and Functional Differentiation in Humans

The paper identifies extensive expansion of the Speedy gene family in Homininae and reports functional differentiation in humans, including distinct expression patterns and prognostic roles in cancer.

Characterization of a Novel Model of Overuse-Induced Calcific Achilles Tendinopathy in Mice: Contralateral Tendinopathy Following Unilateral Tenotomy

This paper develops a mouse model of overuse-induced calcific Achilles tendinopathy by inducing unilateral tenotomy and observing contralateral tendon pathology after 12 weeks.
