In Silico Screening and Molecular Dynamics Validation of Bryophyllum Pinnatum Flavonoids as Pi3kγ Inhibitors For Rheumatoid Arthritis

This study utilizes a comprehensive in silico workflow, including molecular docking, ADMET profiling, MM-GBSA calculations, and 100 ns molecular dynamics simulations, to identify luteolin, quercetin, and kaempferol from *Bryophyllum pinnatum* as potent and stable PI3Kγ inhibitors with promising therapeutic potential for treating rheumatoid arthritis.

Microbial successional dynamics during Thalassia testudinum polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons rhizoremediation

This study demonstrates that the seagrass *Thalassia testudinum* significantly enhances the rhizoremediation of recalcitrant polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in coastal sediments by releasing oxygen and stimulating diverse microbial communities, with nutrient addition further accelerating degradation and enriching aerobic hydrocarbonoclastic taxa.

Larval thermogenesis: a primary catalyst of non-linear carcass decomposition

This study demonstrates that the metabolic heat generated by aggregating larval masses acts as a "carrion furnace" that significantly accelerates carcass decomposition through a self-reinforcing feedback loop, highlighting the critical need to account for this thermogenic effect to improve the accuracy of post-mortem interval estimations in forensic taphonomy.

scLodestar: Scalable probabilistic clustering of single  cells in a continuous probability space

scLodestar is a scalable, high-performance framework that models single-cell data as continuous probability distributions over landmark states, enabling principled uncertainty quantification, the discovery of transitional cell populations, and efficient processing of millions of cells without the limitations of discrete hard clustering.

Spatiotemporal multi-omics reveal ISG15⁺ T cells as a predictive transitional state in cancer immunotherapy

By integrating multi-omics and spatial profiling across 39 cancers, this study redefines ISG15⁺ T cells as a "spring-loaded" transitional reservoir that is spatially tethered in the tumor core but can be mobilized into active effectors by immune checkpoint blockade, thereby serving as a robust predictive biomarker for therapeutic success.

Activation of the innate immune system of the Antarctic sea urchin Sterechinus neumayeri by soluble fraction of diesel oil and high seawater temperature

This study demonstrates that exposure to the water-soluble fraction of diesel oil, particularly at higher concentrations and combined with elevated seawater temperatures, significantly activates the innate immune system of the Antarctic sea urchin *Sterechinus neumayeri*, as evidenced by increased phagocytic activity and specific coelomocyte responses.

Neurodynamic EEG Seizure Analysis Using CWT Scaleograms and Modified DenseNet

This study proposes an explainable neurodynamic framework for epileptic seizure classification that transforms 1D EEG signals into CWT scaleograms and processes them through a modified, fully convolutional DenseNet architecture, achieving superior accuracy and interpretability compared to various baseline models.
