Convolutional embedding models efficiently capture wide sequence context in antibody somatic hypermutation, avoiding exponential k-mer parameter scaling and eliminating the need for per-site modeling.
Engineering self-amplifying RNA to intrinsically disarm the innate immune pathways it triggers enables durable, externally controlled gene expression with reduced cytotoxicity and cytokine release, eliminating the need for exogenous immunosuppressants.

Orexin neurons precisely track body movement across behavioral and metabolic states, revealing a neural mechanism that links motor activity to arousal and energy resources.
Reversible synaptic plasticity between sensory neurons and interneurons, switching between inhibitory and excitatory, underpins the neural basis of salt concentration memory-dependent preference reversal in Caenorhabditis elegans.
Enalapril combats the effects of senescence by activating the pSmad1/5/9–antioxidative gene axis, enhancing antioxidative defenses and promoting cell proliferation, thereby supporting healthy aging.
