RECIPE bridges transcriptomics and proteomics with deep graph learning on Ribo-seq data

The paper introduces RECIPE, a graph neural network framework that leverages Ribo-seq or transcriptomic data integrated with protein-protein interaction networks to accurately predict proteome-wide protein abundances, effectively overcoming the limitations of incomplete proteomics measurements in both bulk and single-cell settings.

Proton-coupled alternating access in a versatile mycobacterial Spns drug transporter

This study elucidates the mechanistic versatility of the mycobacterial MsSpns transporter by demonstrating how protonation-driven conformational changes and distinct substrate interactions enable the Spns fold to power opposing transport modes, facilitating both the efflux of hydrophilic cations and the uptake of lipophilic compounds.

Genome-scale molecular profiling from routine histopathology with a multimodal pathology foundation model

The paper introduces Fuji, a multimodal pathology foundation model trained on over 60,000 whole-slide images paired with genomic data that successfully infers genome-scale molecular states, mutational processes, and clinical outcomes directly from routine histology, thereby bridging the gap between tissue morphology and underlying molecular mechanisms.

Cardiolipin remodeling reflects mitochondrial reprogramming in clear cell renal cell carcinoma

This study reveals that clear cell renal cell carcinoma is characterized by a significant reduction and oxidative remodeling of cardiolipin, reflecting mitochondrial depletion and an insufficient compensatory upregulation of the remodeling enzyme TAZ, which collectively highlight a potential metabolic vulnerability in the disease.

New records and phylogenetic placement of two soft coral species (Octocorallia: Malacalcyonacea: Cladiellidae) from the Gulf of Kachchh, India

This study reports the first records of two soft coral species, *Cladiella pachyclados* and *Aldersladum sodwanum*, from the Gulf of Kachchh, India, using combined morphological and molecular data to provide provisional identifications while highlighting the need for further integrative taxonomic work to resolve phylogenetic ambiguities and support conservation efforts in this extreme reef ecosystem.

Interpersonal autonomic coupling profiles distinguish social transmission from common-input synchrony

This study demonstrates that directional autonomic coupling, particularly sympathetic coupling from leader to follower, can distinguish socially mediated transmission from common-input synchrony, revealing that interpersonal physiological alignment is channel- and context-dependent.

Unveiling the Human Plasma Interactome of Neuromelanin: Associations with Inflammation, Vascular Function, and Neurodegeneration Pathways

This study identifies 98 neuromelanin-binding plasma proteins through affinity chromatography and bioinformatics, revealing their enrichment in inflammation, vascular, and amyloid-related pathways to suggest that peripheral interactions with neuromelanin may serve as a proxy for understanding neurodegenerative mechanisms and developing early diagnostic strategies.
