    Pathogenic mechanisms of post-acute sequelae of SARS-CoV-2 infection (PASC)

    Zaki A Sherif, Christian R Gomez ... RECOVER Mechanistic Pathway Task Force
    PASC (post-acute sequelae of SARS-CoV-2 infection) is an enduring and debilitating illness caused by a persistent virus that promotes inflammation, coagulation, and autoimmunity complications in millions of patients initially diagnosed with COVID-19, but with no known standardized treatment regimen.
    1. Genetics and Genomics

    Native functions of short tandem repeats

    Shannon E Wright, Peter K Todd
    The mechanisms by which non-pathologic short tandem repeats normally influence gene expression and engender rapid genetic variation across phylogeny directly inform how expansions in these same repeats elicit neurological disease.

    The integrated brain network that controls respiration

    Friedrich Krohn, Manuele Novello ... Laurens WJ Bosman
    The primary rhythm generators controlling respiration are integrated in a much larger network of brain regions, including areas not typically considered to be respiratory control centers, and that allow respiration to be adapted to all forms of ongoing behavior.

    The role of macrophages in non-small cell lung cancer and advancements in 3D co-cultures

    Katarína Balážová, Hans Clevers, Antonella FM Dost
    As macrophages are involved in various aspects of non-small cell lung cancer development and progression it is crucial to develop appropriate 3D co-culture platforms for modeling immune cell-tumor cell interactions, leading to more efficacious macrophage-focused immunotherapies.

    The forgotten people: Hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection as a priority for the inclusion health agenda

    Emily Martyn, Sarah Eisen ... Philippa C Matthews
    Hepatitis B virus infection is a neglected challenge among communities who are under-served by conventional models of healthcare, requiring enhanced interventions to reduce inequity.

    Bone circuitry and interorgan skeletal crosstalk

    Mone Zaidi, Se-Min Kim ... Tony Yuen
    Intracellular and interorgan skeletal crosstalk highlights integrative skeletal physiology.
    1. Computational and Systems Biology

    Transformer-based deep learning for predicting protein properties in the life sciences

    Abel Chandra, Laura Tünnermann ... Regina Gratz
    The recent developments in large-scale machine learning, especially with the recent Transformer models, display much potential for solving computational problems within protein biology and outcompete traditional computational methods in many recent studies and benchmarks.

    Temporal context and latent state inference in the hippocampal splitter signal

    Éléonore Duvelle, Roddy M Grieves, Matthijs AA van der Meer
    A synthesis of 20+ years of experimental studies on 'splitter cells' in the hippocampus reveals that signature properties of (1) temporal context models and (2) latent state inference are both needed to account for the data.

    Is calcium a link between inflammatory bone resorption and heart disease?

    Gordon L Klein
    A mechanism is proposed that allows investigators to study interventions to delay onset of heart disease in patients suffering from chronic inflammatory disease with bone loss.

    Shifting the focus of zebrafish toward a model of the tumor microenvironment

    Joshua M Weiss, Dianne Lumaquin-Yin ... Richard M White
    Zebrafish provide unique resources for the study of the tumor microenvironment.
