Neural Representations of Visual Anagrams in Macaque Inferotemporal Cortex

The paper investigates how macaque inferotemporal cortex represents visual anagrams, finding that neuronal responses align with specific interpretations based on orientation and shape preference.

Plasma titration provides a physical ruler for cross-platform proteomics

The paper introduces Plasmix, a plasma reference suite, to improve cross-platform proteomics integration by identifying proteins with consistent titration responses across platforms.

Pseudouridines in the U2 Branch Site Recognition Region Differentially Contribute to Branch Site Recognition during Pre-mRNA Splicing

This study shows that specific pseudouridines in the U2 branch site recognition region affect branch site recognition during pre-mRNA splicing in yeast.

Ciliary integrity defines a central canal repair checkpoint linking microtubule stabilization to spinal cord regeneration

The paper identifies ciliary integrity as a structural checkpoint that links microtubule stabilization to spinal cord regeneration, showing that preserving cilia enhances recovery after injury.

Physics-inspired computational methods for spatial transcriptomics reveal a dysplasia-restricted premalignant basin and a density-asymmetric autocrine niche in oral mucosal carcinogenesis

The paper introduces three physics-inspired computational methods for spatial transcriptomics to analyze oral mucosal carcinogenesis, identifying a dysplasia-restricted MRB cluster with autocrine signaling and a density-asymmetric niche.

Haplotype-resolved genome assembly advances genetic understanding of trait diversity in Phalaenopsis orchids

This study presents a haplotype-resolved genome for Phalaenopsis orchids, revealing genetic factors underlying trait diversity such as lip morphology and color patterns.

INHBA promotes the progression of gastric cancer by activating MAPK signaling pathway via targeting ITGA6

4D Single-Cell Spatial Transcriptomics Reveals Dynamic Morphogenetic Gradients and Regenerative Domains in Planarians

This study constructs a 4D spatiotemporal transcriptomic map of planarian regeneration using Stereo-seq, identifying dynamic gradients and an injury-induced regenerative zone.

Adjuvants to improve efficacy of miticides in managed honey bee (Apis mellifera) colonies to control Varroa destructor

This study evaluates the efficacy of oxalic acid and other miticides combined with adjuvants in reducing Varroa destructor mites in honey bee colonies.

MARK2 regulates Golgi apparatus reorientation by phosphorylation of CAMSAP2 in directional cell migration

This study identifies MARK2 as a regulator of Golgi reorientation during cell migration by phosphorylating CAMSAP2 at serine 835, affecting its interaction with USO1.

CAMSAP3 Forms Dimers via its lapha-helix Domain that Directly Stabilize Non-centrosomal Microtubule Minus Ends

This study identifies how CAMSAP3 dimerizes via its C-terminal alpha-helix to stabilize non-centrosomal microtubule minus ends through enhanced CKK domain binding.

Benzylic Trifluoromethyl Accelerates 1,6-Elimination Toward Rapid Probe Activation

This paper introduces a fluorescent probe that rapidly detects hydrogen sulfide in live cells through a benzylic trifluoromethyl group-enhanced 1,6-elimination reaction.

PBN-PVT projection modulates negative affective states in mice

This study shows that the PBN-PVT projection modulates negative affective states in mice by inducing anxiety-like, aversion-like, and fear-like behaviors.
