A Map of the Imagined: Topographic Principles of Sensory Simulation in the Human Parietal Cortex

The paper identifies a topographic organization of mental imagery in the human parietal cortex, showing modality-specific regions and a central hub for multisensory imagery.

Early sensory deprivation drives local reorganization of sensory integration within a conserved global hierarchy

This study shows early sensory deprivation causes localized reorganization near deprived primary sensory areas while preserving the overall cortical hierarchy.

Cortical geometry constrains the unimodal anchors of sensory integration

The paper tests if cortical geometry encodes sensory function by modeling multisensory integration from geometric eigenmodes, finding they align with sensory domains but require additional modes for full hierarchy.

A minor muscle stem cell population functions as metabolic Trojan horse fueling systemic aging by succinate induced epigenetic reprogramming

This study identifies muscle stem cells as drivers of systemic inflammaging through succinate-induced epigenetic reprogramming, linking metabolic dysregulation to aging phenotypes.

On branch lengths assignment methods for trees with fixed topology and related biological applications

The paper develops methods for assigning branch lengths to trees with fixed topology and applies them to improve functional analysis in metagenomics.

CAMP: A modular metagenomics analysis system for integrated multi-step data exploration

CAMP provides a modular metagenomics analysis system that enables scalable, extensible workflows with integrated data visualization and reporting.

Csp1, A Cold-Shock Protein Homolog in Xylella fastidiosa Influences Pili Formation, Stress Response, and Gene Expression

This study investigates the role of Csp1 in Xylella fastidiosa, showing it affects pili formation, stress response, and gene expression, and introduces a bioinformatics protocol for analyzing long-read RNA-Seq data.

SHP2 Inhibition Abrogates MEK inhibitor Resistance in Multiple Cancer Models

This study shows that combining SHP2 and MEK inhibitors overcomes adaptive resistance in multiple cancer models, including KRAS-mutant and wild-type RAS cancers.

Connectome of a model local cortical circuit flexibly shapes layer-dependent multi-frequency oscillations

The paper models a local cortical circuit to show inter-layer connectivity shapes multi-frequency oscillations and inter-areal dynamics.
