The paper shows archaea, specifically Bathyarchaeia, dominate deep sediments by prioritizing maintenance over growth, leading to long-term organic carbon preservation.

This paper develops a human gut-BBB-brain microphysiological model to study neurodegenerative diseases and finds that gut-brain interactions can promote brain organoid maturation and recapitulate AD pathology.

This paper develops a method to rapidly generate ventral A9-like dopaminergic neurons from iPSCs using small molecules and Ascl1 expression, creating functional 3D organoids for Parkinson's disease research.
