This study shows periosteum-derived podoplanin-expressing stromal cells regulate vascularization during postnatal epiphyseal marrow development by maintaining vascular integrity.

The paper introduces BALSAMICO, a hierarchical Bayesian framework for analyzing microbial communities with environmental factors, and detects bacteria linked to colorectal cancer.

ENIGMA identifies microbial associations with disease by estimating enterotype-like clusters and environmental effects using a probabilistic model.

This paper introduces BERMUDA, a probabilistic model for analyzing microbial composition and disease, showing improved handling of zero-inflated data and providing efficient learning through an annealing EM algorithm.
