Hypoxemia is an Independent Risk Factor for Perioperative Thrombosis at High Altitude: A Retrospective Study of 11,084 Patients

Expanding the Clinical and Molecular Spectrum of TUBB2B Through Distinct Variants Identified Across Multiple Families

The paper reports new TUBB2B variants in multiple families, expanding the clinical and molecular spectrum of tubulinopathies and highlighting phenotypic heterogeneity and dual molecular diagnoses.

Sleep Facilitates Pattern Separation through SK Channel-Mediated Sparse Coding

This study shows that sleep deprivation in Drosophila impairs pattern separation by disrupting sparse coding in the mushroom body through SK channel-mediated changes in inhibitory neurons.

Presynaptic Release Probability Determines the Need for Sleep

The paper shows that presynaptic release probability, not synaptic strength, decreases with sleep loss and affects sleep need across species.

An active Unc13A is Reboundless in sleep homeostasis

This study shows that a constitutively active form of Unc13A reduces sleep rebound after deprivation, suggesting a role for SNARE complex dynamics in sleep homeostasis.

Unprecedented female mutation bias in aye-ayes

This study finds a female mutation bias in aye-ayes, contrasting the typical male mutation bias in mammals, and identifies potential genetic causes.
