Multi omics reveals mesodermal fate bias and enables predictive cell state control in human pluripotent stem cell biomanufacturing

This study employs multi-omics profiling and random forest modeling to characterize how engineered bioprocess conditions influence human pluripotent stem cell states, revealing mesodermal fate biases and establishing a predictive framework for optimizing cell maintenance and differentiation in biomanufacturing.

Genome-based reclassification of Lentzea roselyniae (Okoro et al. 2010) Nouioui et al. 2018 and Lentzea terrae Li et al. 2018 as later heterotypic synonyms of Lentzea atacamensis (Okoro et al. 2010) Nouioui et al. 2018 and Lentzea soli Li et al. 2018, respectively

This study utilizes comprehensive genome-based analyses, including ANI, dDDH, and phylogenomic data, to demonstrate that *Lentzea roselyniae* and *Lentzea terrae* are later heterotypic synonyms of *Lentzea atacamensis* and *Lentzea soli*, respectively, and proposes their formal reclassification.

Proteomic analysis reveals 4-methylumbelliferone-induced metabolic shift and downregulation of CD147/MMP2 axis in U937 Cells

This study demonstrates that 4-methylumbelliferone (4MU) exerts antitumor effects in AML U937 cells through a hyaluronic acid-independent mechanism involving a metabolic shift toward oxidative phosphorylation and the downregulation of the CD147/MMP-2 axis.

A hierarchical face-scalp-cortex mapping for non-invasive neuromodulation targeting without magnetic resonance images guidance

This paper presents a unified hierarchical face-scalp-cortex mapping framework that enables precise, MRI-free non-invasive neuromodulation targeting by establishing latent correlations between external facial features and internal brain structures, a capability validated through experiments on phantoms and insomnia patients using a markerless robotic neuronavigation system.

Senoversus rejuvenates cellular and organismal aging by reversing epigenetic states and restoring transcriptional homeostasis

The study demonstrates that Senoversus, a dual-factor combination of CHIR99021 and bFGF, effectively rejuvenates both cellular and organismal aging by reversing epigenetic states and restoring transcriptional homeostasis, thereby extending lifespan and improving physiological function in mice.

Low Reward and Heightened Threat Neural Activity are Both Associated with Heightened Anhedonia: A Transdiagnostic Perspective

This transdiagnostic study of 339 young adults reveals that heightened anhedonia-apprehension is uniquely associated with both reduced reward-related neural activity in the orbitofrontal cortex and ventral striatum, and unexpectedly heightened threat-related neural activity during fear extinction, underscoring the value of linking specific brain systems to empirically derived symptom dimensions.
