Predictive single cell foundation model for gene regulation and aging with privacy-preserving tabular learning

The paper introduces Tabula, a privacy-preserving single-cell foundation model that leverages federated learning to explicitly capture the tabular structure of genomic data, enabling the discovery of regulatory logic and the identification of rejuvenation factors without sharing raw data across institutions.

A cross-national network for environmental DNA monitoring of nearshore fish biodiversity across the Northeast Pacific

This paper presents the Pacific eDNA Coastal Observatory, a cross-national network spanning 16 nodes from San Diego to Juneau that utilized 1,041 seawater samples over four years to generate a comprehensive, validated dataset of nearshore fish biodiversity across the Northeast Pacific, demonstrating the effectiveness of coordinated eDNA monitoring for large-scale comparative inference.

Large-Scale Reproduction of Alzheimer Research on aCommon Dataset Reveals an Information Ceiling on theField’s Evidence

By applying a novel AI-mediated framework (AHA) to reproduce and audit thousands of Alzheimer's disease studies on a common dataset, the authors demonstrate that while the field's reported predictive performance can be replicated at scale, the available data is fundamentally information-insufficient to distinguish between competing hypotheses, revealing a ceiling on the evidence that explains the field's divergent research trajectories.

Behavioral, neurobiological, and physiological effects of music exposure in murine models: A systematic review

This systematic review of 65 murine studies concludes that music exposure significantly enhances behavioral, neurobiological, and physiological outcomes in rats, though methodological heterogeneity necessitates further standardized research to clarify mechanisms and confirm translational potential for humans.

The PRIDE Affinity-Proteomics Archive (PRIDE-AP): Making Affinity Proteomics Data FAIR

The paper introduces PRIDE-AP, a new FAIR-compliant, open-data repository within the PRIDE infrastructure that addresses the lack of a dedicated archive for high-throughput affinity proteomics by enabling standardized submission, validation, and cross-technology integration of datasets to accelerate biomarker discovery.

Learning epidemics: a compartmental and network approach to how artificial intelligence literacy spreads inside organizations

This paper reframes the spread of artificial intelligence literacy within organizations as a contagion process, demonstrating through network epidemiology and machine learning that learning retention is primarily driven by structural communication network properties and an individual's position within them rather than just personal attributes.
