Empowering clinical trial design with agentic intelligence and real-world data
Author Correction: Eliminating lead-exposure in nebulization therapy by lead-free piezoelectric
Astrocytic ankyrin-2 enables memory persistence in the mouse hippocampus
Abstract Memory persistence, the ability to retain information over time, is a fundamental feature of long-term memory. Although astrocytes contribute to synaptic plasticity, the mol...
Quantifying the net effect of biodiversity on ecological stability
Abstract Understanding the relationship between biodiversity and both the functioning and stability of ecosystems has been a central focus of ecologists for decades. A step-change in...
Robust estimates of biodiversity change require high-resolution time series
Abstract Robust estimates of biodiversity change are essential to inform management and conservation, and to address global biodiversity loss. However, common temporal data limitatio...
Full vibrational spectroscopy for simultaneous mechanical, structural and chemical analysis
Abstract The light scattered inelastically from molecular vibrations occurring at different temporal and spatial scales carries intrinsic physical information ab...
TNF-α induces type I IFN signalling to suppress neurogenesis and recruit T cells
Abstract Adult hippocampal neurogenesis is essential for learning, memory, and mood regulation, and its disruption is implicated in ageing, neurodegeneration, and mood disorders. How...
Modern arc-like water content in the source of 3.1-billion-year-old volcanic rocks
Abstract Whether Archean arc-like volcanism reflects subduction remains debated. We present high-resolution geochemical data from a well-preserved 3.13-3.10 Ga a...
Assessing corporate sustainability with large language models: evidence from Europe
Abstract Companies play a crucial role in achieving global sustainability goals, yet evidence on their progress across environmental, social, and governance (ESG) dimensions remains...
Formation of iron oxide-apatite deposits triggered by magmatic assimilation of evaporitic sulfate
Abstract The geological origins of iron oxide-apatite (IOA) rocks, important resources for iron and rare-earth elements, are intensely debated. Using triple oxyg...
Endothelial cannabinoid CB1 receptor deficiency reduces shear stress-induced arterial inflammation and lipid uptake
Abstract Peripheral cannabinoid CB1 receptor antagonists that lack central nervous system effects are emerging as promising therapies for metabolic disease, yet...
Retraction Note: Heterozygous deletion of chromosome 17p renders prostate cancer vulnerable to inhibition of RNA polymerase II
Engineering in vitro models to replicate the complexity of chronic wounds
Applying Artificial Intelligence and machine learning in precision nutrition
Microseismic monitoring with the quake neural operator
Abstract Accurate monitoring of small-scale seismic events is essential for seismological studies. Traditional techniques rely on manual or automated seismic phase picking, which oft...
Fibronectin-induced overactivation of αVβ3-PI3K-PIP3-PDK1-ILK signaling drives aortic disease in Marfan syndrome
FLOWR.ROOT – A flow matching-based foundation model for joint multi-purpose structure-aware 3D ligand generation and affinity prediction
Abstract We present FLOWR.ROOT, an S E (3)-equivariant flow-matching foundation model that unifies po...
Evolutionary drivers of encephalization and facial reduction in the genus Homo
Abstract The evolution of cranial morphology in the genus Homo is marked by increasing encephalization and reduced facial...
Programmable Construction of Supramolecular Polymers Achieved in Neutral Lipid Environments
Abstract Supramolecular polymerization within living cells has emerged as a promising strategy for controlling cellular functions. Lipid droplets, intracellular...
Salmonella SopB suppresses post-transcriptionally regulated cytokine release to reduce early tissue inflammation and delay disease progression
Abstract Salmonella enterica subsp. enterica serovar Typhimurium ( S...
metilene3: identifying DMRs across multiple conditions with auto-classification
Abstract DNA methylation is a critical epigenetic mark across numerous species, and identifying differentially methylated regions (DMRs) is essential for underst...
Dual-interface stabilization of low-iridium anodes for durable proton exchange membrane water electrolysis
Abstract The durability and cost of iridium-based anodes remain key challenges for high-current density operation of proton exchange membrane water electrolyzers...
Joint trajectories of brain atrophy, white matter hyperintensities and cognition quantify brain maintenance
Abstract Brain maintenance – the preservation of brain structure or function relevant to cognitive performance – remains challenging to quantify. Here, we propose a domain-general br...
