This study identifies brain-resident CD8+ T cells that regulate neuronal activity and behavior through interferon-gamma secretion, showing their role in maintaining brain homeostasis.

This study shows that extracellular cGAMP worsens neuroinflammation in aging and MS by activating STING in microglia, astrocytes, and inhibitory neurons, with ENPP1 acting as a protective brake.

A reasoning LLM combining ESM3 embeddings with GO-GPT term predictions produces protein function annotations that experts rated tie-or-better than UniProt in 79% of cases (SFT model).

This study investigates how stromal cells and macrophages interact during mycobacterial infection, revealing their roles in shaping immune responses and granuloma formation.

The paper investigates how different high-fat diets affect host and microbiome multi-omic states over time and shows that some changes persist even after returning to a control diet.

The paper identifies lithocholic acid as a bile acid metabolite that modulates circadian rhythms in intestinal cells by affecting core clock proteins and feedback loops.

COSIE is a computational framework that integrates multiple spatial omics modalities to generate high-resolution molecular landscapes, outperforming existing methods across diverse datasets.

This study introduces ER-Hoxb8 macrophages as a model for microglia replacement and uses them to study the role of Adar1 mutations in Aicardi-Goutieres Syndrome.

This study investigates how the gut microbiome interacts with aging and dietary restriction in mice, finding that host genetics significantly influence microbiome features and that dietary restriction does not rejuvenate the microbiome.

This study shows that diet can significantly affect survival in a mouse model of Hirschsprung disease by altering gut microbes, metabolites, and epithelial gene expression.

In 937 genetically diverse female mice, caloric restriction and intermittent fasting extended lifespan, yet bodyweight resilience, immune and red-cell traits, not metabolic improvements, predicted longevity.

The paper shows acetate supplementation improves social deficits and changes gene expression in the prefrontal cortex of Shank3-deficient mice.
