The important role of structural asymmetry in the functional lateralization of the same brain area provides a crucial insight into the neurobiological fundament for human brain's functional lateralization.
The newly developed antibody-free techniques, HepG4-seq for G-quadruplexes and HBD-seq for R-loops, robustly reveal the comprehensive maps of native G-quadruplexes and R-loops, as well as their roles in transcriptional regulation.
Whole-night fMRI-based sleep classification uncovers distinct substates within N2 and REM sleep stages, along with a transition structure between them.
The cannabinoids cannabidiol, cannabidivarin, and the newly identified 331-18A demonstrate antitumoral effects in Notch1-mutated leukemia, underscoring the potential and complexity of Cannabis as a novel treatment for cancer.
Exploration of the phenotype space corresponding to the sequence space of viable SARS-CoV-2 nucleocapsid protein species reveals significant diversity of biophysical characteristics, nonlocal mutation effects, and functional constraints.

Alterations in mTOR signaling drive similar dysregulations in the critical mid-fetal neurodevelopmental processes of neurite outgrowth and cell migration in two distinct subsets of autism, idiopathic and 16p11.2 deletion.
Structural characterization of human RPA70N association with a series of DNA damage response proteins reveals versatile protein interaction mechanisms that help to recruit DNA repair proteins to the damage site quickly and efficiently.
Nearly half of bladder cancers of solid organ transplant recipients harbor papillomaviruses or polyomaviruses, with many tumors showing evidence of clonal viral integration and viral oncogene effects on tumor gene expression patterns.
The hexametric structures of MCM8/9, revealed through cryo-electron microscopy single particle analysis, provide a foundational understanding of its helicase activity and offer novel insights into its mechanistic role.
