Ectopic expression of Aspergillus flavus uricase and URAT1 in therapeutic cells promotes intracellular degradation of uric acid in hyperuricemic mice
Uricase-based drugs excel at treating refractory hyperuricemia and tumor lysis syndrome by directly degrading uric acid but are limited by immunogenicity. Here, we engineered RAW264.7 macrophages with ectopic co-expression of Aspergillus flavus uricase and murine urate anion transporter 1 (URAT1)…

Systemic iron availability differentially shapes tumor and brain iron handling in a sex-dependent manner in glioblastoma
Iron is essential for normal physiological function, yet dysregulation of iron metabolism is increasingly recognized as a hallmark of cancers such as glioblastoma (GBM). Recent clinical evidence suggests that systemic iron deficiency anemia (IDA) negatively impacts GBM outcomes in a sex-dependent…

Differential regulation of p62-ubiquitin conjugates in neurons versus astrocytes during cellular stress
Sequestosome 1/p62 (hereafter referred to as p62) is a multifunctional protein that orchestrates various cellular stress response pathways including autophagy, proteasome-mediated degradation, antioxidant defense, nutrient sensing, and inflammatory signaling. Mutations in distinct functional…

Single-cell RNA sequencing identifies microglial state changes associated with iTBS after ischemia–reperfusion injury
Understanding how to effectively treat neurological deficits after stroke remains difficult, as both the therapeutic targets and clinical outcomes are still uncertain. Although intermittent Theta burst stimulation (iTBS) has recently been shown to protect neural tissue in stroke-induced rats, its…

La benchmarking large language models for extracting biobank-derived insights into health and disease
Biobank-scale datasets such as the UK Biobank have become foundational resources for advancing biomedical discovery. Yet the complexity and heterogeneity of these resources, spanning genomics, imaging, clinical records, and metadata, pose substantial barriers to access and interpretation. Large…

Longitudinal brain health and neurological correlates of sexual strangulation in young adults: Study protocol for a prospective cohort study
Sexual strangulation (also referred to as choking during sex) has become increasingly prevalent among young adults and disproportionately affects females. Epidemiological studies indicate that more than half of college-aged women report a lifetime history of being strangled during sex, and it is…

Advancing aphasia psychological care in Ireland: A participatory study with people with aphasia and clinicians
Background: Aphasia increases the risk of mental health issues, yet psychological care for aphasia (APC) is not routinely available. Given the significant psychosocial impact, APC requires input from multiple disciplines and settings, and necessarily responds to a person’s needs, which shift over…

Mapping sources of chronic disease-promoting products in retail environments: An analysis of co-location patterns of alcohol, tobacco, and fast-food retailers
Objective: High densities of alcohol, tobacco, and fast-food retailers each pose increased risk of behaviors that contribute to chronic diseases. However, retail density studies typically examine only one type of retailer at a time. This study examines co-location patterns of alcohol, tobacco, and…

Assortativity in geometric and scale-free networks
The assortative behavior of a network is the tendency of similar (or dissimilar) nodes to connect to each other. This tendency can have an influence on various properties of the network, such as its robustness or the dynamics of spreading processes. In this paper, we study degree assortativity both…

Prion propagation is controlled by a hierarchical network involving the nuclear Tfap2c and hnRNP K factors and the cytosolic mTORC1 complex
Heterogeneous Nuclear Ribonucleoprotein K (hnRNP K) is a limiting factor for prion propagation. However, little is known about the function of hnRNP K except that it is essential to cell survival. Here, we performed a synthetic-viability CRISPR ablation screen to identify epistatic interactors of…

Entry, replication and innate immunity evasion of BANAL-236, a SARS-CoV-2-related bat virus, in Rhinolophus and human cells
Asian Rhinolophus bats are considered the natural reservoirs of an ancestral SARS-CoV-2. However, the biology of SARS-CoV-2-related viruses in bat cells is not well understood. Here, we investigated the replication of an isolate of BANAL-236, the only bat-derived SARS-CoV-2 relative isolated to…
