    Efficient estimation for large-scale linkage disequilibrium patterns of the human genome

    Xin Huang, Tian-Neng Zhu ... Guo-Bo Chen
    Leveraging the X-LD method for estimating inter-chromosomal linkage disequilibrium in the human genome uncovers a universal extended LD pattern, consistent with observations in 1KG cohorts.

    Mechanical coupling coordinates microtubule growth

    Bonnibelle K Leeds, Katelyn F Kostello ... Charles L Asbury
    Microtubules grow at highly variable rates, but they can be tightly coordinated merely by coupling their tips to a single shared load.

    Soil-borne fungi alter the apoplastic purinergic signaling in plants by deregulating the homeostasis of extracellular ATP and its metabolite adenosine

    Christopher Kesten, Valentin Leitner ... Clara Sanchez-Rodriguez
    Biochemical and in vivo physiology imaging reveal that plant pathogens actively imbalance the apoplastic eAdo/eATP levels as a virulence mechanism.

    RETRACTED: PAK3 downregulation induces cognitive impairment following cranial irradiation

    Haksoo Lee, Hyunkoo Kang ... BuHyun Youn
    p21-activated kinase 3 (PAK3) is a factor related to radiation-induced cognitive decline, and it has been found that regulating it leads to the recovery of cognitive decline induced by radiation.

    Effects of neoadjuvant stereotactic body radiotherapy plus adebrelimab and chemotherapy for triple-negative breast cancer: A pilot study

    Guanglei Chen, Xi Gu ... Caigang Liu
    Stereotactic body radiotherapy combined with immunotherapy and chemotherapy in neoadjuvant setting exhibited a promising anti-tumor activity and an acceptable safety profile in triple-negative breast cancer patients.

    Imaging microglia surveillance during sleep-wake cycles in freely behaving mice

    Xiaochun Gu, Zhong Zhao ... Heping Cheng
    Using long-term in vivo imaging with miniature two-photon microscopy, microglia surveillance is sleep state-dependent and stress-induced in freely behaving mice, regulated by the locus coeruleus-norepinephrine system and β2-adrenergic receptors signaling.

    How accurately can one predict drug binding modes using AlphaFold models?

    Masha Karelina, Joseph J Noh, Ron O Dror
    AlphaFold 2 models capture binding pocket structures accurately but fare poorly when used to predict ligand-binding poses.

    Chromosome-level genome assembly of hadal snailfish reveals mechanisms of deep-sea adaptation in vertebrates

    Wenjie Xu, Chenglong Zhu ... Kun Wang
    The hadal snailfish rapidly evolved and adapted to extreme deep-sea environments, modifying crucial genes and enhancing tolerance to high-hydrostatic pressure through ferritin gene duplication.

    Microglia facilitate and stabilize the response to general anesthesia via modulating the neuronal network in a brain region-specific manner

    Yang He, Taohui Liu ... Bo Peng
    Microglia differentially modulate the neuronal activities via P2Y12 and its downstream Ca2+ signaling in a brain region-specific manner, which facilitates and stabilizes the response to general anesthesia.

    CRISPR-Cas9 knockdown of ESR1 in preoptic GABA-kisspeptin neurons suppresses the preovulatory surge and estrous cycles in female mice

    Jenny Clarkson, Siew Hoong Yip ... Allan E Herbison
    Preoptic area neurons co-expressing GABA and kisspeptin are essential for the preovulatory surge mechanism but not for the pulsatile secretion of luteinizing hormone.
