   Hypersensitive intercellular responses of endometrial stromal cells drive invasion in endometriosis

   Chun-Wei Chen, Jeffery B Chavez ... Bruce J Nicholson

   A unique functional comparison of the major endometrial cell types from 44 control and endometriosis patients demonstrates not only a uterine origin of the disease, but also that endometrial to mesothelial cell gap junctions are required for invasive lesion formation.

   Geometry and dynamics of representations in a precisely balanced memory network related to olfactory cortex

   Claire Meissner-Bernard, Friedemann Zenke, Rainer W Friedrich

   Computational modeling revealed that balanced assemblies of excitatory and inhibitory neurons shape representational manifolds in olfactory cortex-like recurrent networks, resulting in joint maps of sensory and semantic information.

   Assessing the balance between excitation and inhibition in chronic pain through the aperiodic component of EEG

   Cristina Gil Avila, Elisabeth S May ... Markus Ploner

   Multiverse analysis of the aperiodic component of the electroencephalography (EEG) power spectrum yielded robust evidence against a relationship to chronic pain, guiding further research on EEG biomarkers of chronic pain.

    AI-driven automated discovery tools reveal diverse behavioral competencies of biological networks

    Mayalen Etcheverry, Clément Moulin-Frier ... Michael Levin

    A novel methodology, using diversity search AI algorithms, for exploring the space of possible behaviors of gene regulatory networks, from the perspective of generic problem-solving agents navigating their environment.
