Explainable machine learning reveals an RBP regulatory logic of exon skipping

The paper uses explainable machine learning to uncover RBP binding patterns that predict exon skipping and reveals biologically interpretable regulatory logic.

Single cell-guided prenatal derivation of primary epithelial organoids from the human amniotic and tracheal fluids.

The paper derives epithelial organoids from human amniotic and tracheal fluids to model congenital malformations and predict disease outcomes.

Multidimensional Characterization of Soft-Tissue Sarcomas with FUS-TFCP2 or EWSR1-TFCP2 Fusions

This study characterizes soft-tissue sarcomas with FUS-TFCP2 or EWSR1-TFCP2 fusions through multi-omics analyses and functional studies, identifying therapeutic targets and mechanisms of disease.

Comprehensive analysis of mutational signatures in pediatric cancers

This study analyzes mutational signatures in pediatric cancers, finding fewer active signatures compared to adult cancers and linking specific signatures to TP53 mutations and chromothripsis.

SARS-CoV-2 infection and replication in human fetal and pediatric gastric organoids

This paper shows that SARS-CoV-2 can infect and replicate in pediatric gastric organoids but not in fetal ones, suggesting differential susceptibility based on developmental stage.

Does women’s interpersonal anxiety track changes in steroid hormone levels?

This study investigates whether women's interpersonal anxiety tracks changes in steroid hormone levels during the menstrual cycle and finds no evidence for progesterone's role, though some cortisol-related jealousy components are observed.

Copper Blocks V-ATPase Activity and SNARE Complex Formation to Inhibit Yeast Vacuole Fusion

This study shows that copper inhibits yeast vacuole fusion by blocking SNARE complex formation and V-ATPase activity, with Cu2+ being the active species.

No evidence that inbreeding avoidance is up-regulated during the ovulatory phase of the menstrual cycle

The study investigates whether women's preference for male kin decreases during the ovulatory phase, finding no evidence to support this hypothesis.

Context-specific effects of facial dominance and trustworthiness on hypothetical leadership decisions

The paper replicates context-specific effects of facial dominance and trustworthiness on hypothetical leadership decisions using women's faces.

Phosphatidylinositol 3,5-Bisphosphate regulates Ca2+ Transport During Yeast Vacuolar Fusion through Activation of the Ca2+ ATPase Pmc1

This study shows that PI(3,5)P2 regulates Ca2+ transport in yeast vacuoles by activating Pmc1 during fusion, opposing its role in fission.

Phosphatidylinositol 3,5-Bisphosphate Regulates Yeast Vacuole Fusion at the Transition between trans-SNARE Complex Formation and Hemifusion

This study shows that PI(3,5)P2 inhibits yeast vacuole fusion after SNARE complex formation and during hemifusion, acting as a molecular switch between fission and fusion.

No compelling evidence that more physically attractive young adult women have higher estradiol or progesterone

The paper investigates the relationship between salivary estradiol and progesterone levels and physical attractiveness in women, finding no significant associations.

No compelling evidence that preferences for facial masculinity track changes in women’s hormonal status

This study finds no strong link between women's preferences for facial masculinity and their hormonal status, despite previous claims.
