Integrative Transcriptome Meta-Analysis, Co-expression Network Analysis, and Machine Learning Prioritize Drought-Responsive Gene Signatures in Peanut

This study integrates transcriptome meta-analysis, weighted gene co-expression network analysis, and machine learning to identify a highly predictive set of 276 conserved drought-responsive genes in peanut, providing a robust foundation for future functional validation and genomics-assisted breeding of drought-resilient cultivars.

Severity-Adapted Decoding for Neurorehabilitation BCI: Comparing Cascade and Flat Classifiers for Motor Imagery and the Value of Decomposing Activity Into Levels

This study demonstrates that a parameter-efficient hierarchical cascade classifier, which decomposes motor imagery into progressive difficulty levels, performs comparably to a flat multiclass model while offering a clinically superior framework for neurorehabilitation by accommodating patients' partial information and residual capabilities.

SF3B4 Drives Alternative 5′ Splice Site Selection of HOXA11-AS to Promote Metabolic Reprogramming and Reduced Cisplatin Sensitivity in ESCC

This study reveals that the splicing factor SF3B4 promotes esophageal squamous cell carcinoma growth and cisplatin resistance by driving an alternative 5′ splice site switch in the lncRNA HOXA11-AS to produce the HOX-L isoform, which activates β-catenin signaling and glycolytic reprogramming.

A Curated Spatial Transcriptomic Dataset of the Human Adrenal Gland Cortex and Medulla

This study presents a curated, openly accessible spatial transcriptomic dataset of the human adrenal gland from 10 donors, generated via the 10x Genomics Visium platform and standardized reprocessing, which preserves the gland's spatial zonation to facilitate advanced computational modeling and endocrine research despite the inherent resolution limits of spot-level analysis.

SF3B4 Drives Alternative 5′ Splice Site Selection of HOXA11-AS to Promote Metabolic Reprogramming and Reduced Cisplatin Sensitivity in ESCC

This study reveals that the upregulated splicing factor SF3B4 promotes cisplatin resistance and metabolic reprogramming in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma by driving an alternative 5′ splice site switch in the lncRNA HOXA11-AS to generate the oncogenic HOX-L isoform, which activates β-catenin signaling and glycolysis.
