Empirical Length-at-Maturity for Northeast Atlantic Marine Fishes

This study presents a standardized dataset of 3,607 length-at-maturity (L50) estimates for 48 Northeast Atlantic marine fish species, derived from approximately 1.6 million individual records across 21 fishery-independent surveys to enable high-resolution analysis of maturation schedules across populations, sexes, and time.

Neuroblastoma outcomes diverge along a shared regulatory axis

This study demonstrates that after matching neuroblastoma patients on conventional clinical variables, favorable and unfavorable outcomes are distinguished not by unstructured heterogeneity but by a robust, shared bidirectional regulatory axis in transcription-factor activity that separates cell-cycle programs from inflammatory and mesenchymal states, suggesting a potential target for therapeutic intervention.

A Software Model of Chromatic Aberration Visual Feedback in the Eye: Exploring the Role of Near Work in Myopia Development

This study utilizes a software model based on longitudinal chromatic aberration to demonstrate how prolonged near work induces myopia through visual feedback mechanisms, while also validating existing theories on lens correction and proposing a novel strategy of marginally blurring blue light on digital screens to inhibit myopia onset and progression.

Endothelial RANK signaling triggers bone marrow inflammaging through IL-1β expression

This study identifies endothelial RANK signaling as a critical driver of bone marrow inflammaging by inducing IL-1β expression, which leads to senescent cell accumulation, hematopoietic stem cell dysfunction, and myeloid-biased hematopoiesis, thereby offering a potential therapeutic target for age-related diseases.

Parkinson's disease-associated LRRK2 G2019S enhances intestinal neutrophil extracellular trap formation through RAB10–myeloperoxidase signaling and promotes enteric α-synuclein accumulation

This study demonstrates that the Parkinson's disease-associated LRRK2 G2019S mutation exacerbates intestinal inflammation and enteric α-synuclein accumulation by driving excessive neutrophil extracellular trap formation through a kinase-dependent RAB10–myeloperoxidase signaling axis.

DeepCNet: A multimodal deep learning model for predicting cell type-specific gene expression and promoter-enhancer interactions from single-cell multiome data

DeepCNet is a novel multimodal deep learning framework that leverages single-cell multiome data to accurately predict cell type-specific gene expression and infer regulatory promoter-enhancer interactions, thereby enabling the construction of transcription factor gene regulatory networks and the identification of condition-specific regulatory alterations in diseases like Alzheimer's.

Language development and pro-inflammatory IL-6/IL-10 imbalance in SARS-CoV-2-exposed pregnancies

This study of pandemic-born children in Spain finds that while prenatal SARS-CoV-2 exposure itself does not uniformly predict language delays at 18 months, a pro-inflammatory IL-6/IL-10 imbalance within exposed pregnancies is associated with lower performance in specific language domains like difficult verbs and vocalizations, particularly among girls.
