Multi-Objective Active Learning Overcomes Liver Tropism in LNP- Mediated mRNA Delivery to the Brain

This paper presents a reproducible, CPU-accessible machine-learning framework that employs multi-objective active learning to navigate the vast LNP formulation space, successfully identifying lipid compositions that maximize brain delivery while minimizing liver tropism, thereby overcoming a major barrier to CNS mRNA therapeutics.

Temperature-driven PSII thermal plasticity in tropical forest trees during a non-stress seasonal window

This study demonstrates that tropical forest trees exhibit modest, species-specific plasticity in photosystem II heat tolerance during a non-stress seasonal warming period, revealing that while community-level acclimation occurs, certain species already operate near functional thermal limits regardless of their leaf habit or successional status.

DACH1 expression is inversely associated with promoter methylation of CADM1, ESR1, and SLIT2 in TCGA cervical squamous carcinoma: a network-based candidate regulator discovery

This study identifies DACH1 as a novel candidate epigenetic regulator in cervical squamous cell carcinoma, demonstrating through network analysis and TCGA data that its expression is inversely associated with promoter methylation of the tumor-suppressor genes CADM1, ESR1, and SLIT2, independent of global tumor hypermethylation.

Branches of invasive maple Acer negundo are characterized by abundant photosynthetically active surface chlorenchyma

This study highlights that the invasive boxelder tree (*Acer negundo*) possesses persistent, photosynthetically active chlorenchyma on its branches that utilizes high salicylic acid levels and efficient non-photochemical quenching mechanisms to protect its photosynthetic apparatus from light stress while maintaining activity throughout the year.

An Innovative Perspective to Profound Functions of the Brain: Hypothesis of Resonance of Closed Neural Network Geometries

This paper proposes the Resonance of Closed Neural Network Geometries (RCNNG) framework, which posits that perception and consciousness emerge from stable resonant attractors in recurrent neural circuits, where perceptual stability and subjective experience ("innergence") arise from the mapping of input-driven closed neural geometries to their intrinsic resonant identities rather than their physical structures.
