Pre-stimulus cortical state predicts context-dependent expression of learned distractor suppression

The paper shows that pre-stimulus global signal predicts response speed differently in two distractor-suppression contexts during visual search.

Endotome as a Source of Human Peri-Aortic Brown Adipocytes

The paper identifies the endotome as a MYF5-independent source of human peri-aortic brown adipocytes and describes their developmental pathway and functional properties.

A comprehensive RNA virome from molluscan transcriptomes reveals extensive diversity and modular genome evolution

The paper identifies 80 RNA virus species from molluscan transcriptomes, revealing extensive diversity, modular genome evolution, and host interactions.

Hepatic Acetate is an Essential Fuel for the Heart during Energy-Deprived States

This study identifies acetate as a critical metabolic fuel for the heart during fasting, showing its uptake and utilization via Acss1-dependent pathway.

Biological characterization and host-phage interaction of a novel Pectobacterium phage

This paper characterizes a novel Pectobacterium phage, identifies its receptor-binding proteins, and demonstrates LPS as a key receptor for phage adsorption, providing insights for phage therapy against taro soft rot.

Human trunk embryoids with patterned anterior-posterior and dorsal-ventral body axes: utility for understanding human development and disease

The paper describes human trunk embryoids that mimic posterior trunk development and uses them to study developmental processes and disease mechanisms.

An Empirical Study on Quantifying Physical Energy Expenditure during High-intensity Exercise

This study develops a method to estimate physical energy expenditure during high-intensity exercise using non-invasive cardiovascular parameters and validates it against doubly labeled water measurements.

A global viromic survey reveals unprecedented viral diversity within ammonium-oxidizing archaea and related lineages

MF-PENS: an efficient and versatile nuclear extraction method for plant single-cell sequencing

MF-PENS improves single-nucleus RNA sequencing in plants by efficiently isolating high-quality nuclei from diverse tissues, enhancing gene capture and cell type annotation.

Distractor-response binding influences visual search

The paper investigates distractor-response binding in visual search, finding that response priming is stronger when distractor features or target positions are repeated, indicating DRB occurs at late stages of target identification and response selection.

Learning regular cross-trial shifts of the target location in serial search involves awareness: an eye-tracking study

The paper investigates whether dynamic target-location regularities can be learned in serial visual search and whether this learning correlates with awareness.

Asymmetric learning of dynamic spatial regularities in visual search: facilitation of anticipated target locations, no suppression of predictable distractor locations

The paper investigates whether dynamic spatial regularities in visual search can be learned for targets and distractors, finding robust learning for targets but not distractors.

IRIS: an accurate and efficient barcode calling tool for in situ sequencing

IRIS decodes image signals from in situ sequencing into nucleotide sequences and records quality scores and spatial information.

Genome-wide characterization of PRE-1 reveals a hidden evolutionary relationship between suidae and primates

The paper characterizes a PRE-1 element in pigs, showing its structural and evolutionary similarities to primate Alu elements, suggesting a close evolutionary relationship between suidae and primates.
