SMAS: Structural MRI-Based AD Score using Bayesian VAE

This paper introduces SMAS, a Bayesian VAE-based AD score from structural MRI data, showing strong correlations with cognitive decline and brain atrophy markers, and outperforming existing measures in predicting AD.

Molecular mechanisms of long-term light adaptation of an extremophilic alga Cyanidioschyzon merolae

This study identifies molecular mechanisms of long-term light adaptation in the extremophilic alga Cyanidioschyzon merolae using transcriptome analysis and physiological measurements.

Interaction of habitat isolation and seasonality: impact of fragmentation in dynamic landscapes on local and regional population variability in meta-food chains

The paper simulates a meta-food chain to study how habitat fragmentation and seasonality affect population variability and synchronization in dynamic landscapes.

The biggest losers: Habitat isolation deconstructs complex food webs from top to bottom

This study models how habitat fragmentation affects food web diversity, finding that top predators decline faster due to energy limitations and dispersal challenges.

Integrating Vectors for Genetic Studies in the Rare Actinomycete Amycolatopsis marina

This study identifies integrating vectors for Amycolatopsis marina using TG1 and R4 integrases, enabling site-specific genome integration in rare Actinomycetes.

Somatic inactivating PTPRJ mutations and dysregulated pathways identified in canine melanoma by integrated comparative genomic analysis

This study identifies somatic PTPRJ mutations and dysregulated pathways in canine melanoma through genomic analysis, revealing similarities with human melanoma subtypes and potential therapeutic targets.
