Dissociating neural circuits of social and prosocial reward in rat helping behavior
Summary: Helping behavior in rodents provides a powerful model for studying neurobiological underpinnings of prosocial motivation. Previously, rats allowed to release a trapped conspecific demonstrated prosocial motivation selectively toward ingroup members. Here, a refined version of the helping…

The Drosophila Him gene is essential for adult muscle function and muscle stem cell maintenance
Summary: Muscle stem cells (MuSCs), or “satellite cells,” are vital for vertebrate muscle growth, homeostasis, and repair. The discovery of analogous cells in Drosophila opens experimental opportunities in this genetically tractable model. Here, we show that the myogenic inhibitor gene Him, as well…

Self-assembly of plant-derived bioactive nanostructures in traditional Chinese medicine
Summary: Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) relies on plant-derived compounds to achieve therapeutic effects through multi-component and multi-level regulation. Increasing evidence indicates that many bioactive constituents in TCM can spontaneously self-assemble into nanoscale aggregates under…

Journal Article
What is next? Predictable visual sequences are encoded with anticipatory biases and reduced neural responses
Summary: Objects in motion follow predictable trajectories that the brain can easily anticipate. We investigated the underlying neural mechanisms, focusing on a form of representational momentum (RM), whereby the final state of a rotating object is misperceived along its future trajectory…

Large language models for predicting one-year major adverse cardiovascular events in acute coronary syndrome
Summary: Effective risk stratification is crucial for managing acute coronary syndrome (ACS). This study evaluated whether general-purpose large language models (LLMs) can reliably execute the complex clinical reasoning required for cardiovascular prognosis. We quantitatively assessed three…

Journal Article
Ancient gene linkages and ultraconserved elements disentangle Acari interrelationships
Summary: The interrelationships among Acari groups, Acariformes (mites) and Parasitiformes (ticks and parasitic mites) have been debated for long. We interrogated 90 genomes of Arachnida through a customized Chelicerata-wide ultraconserved elements bait set to resolve higher-level relationships of…

A new occurrence of saprotrophic oomycetes from the ca 307–303 million-years-old Grand’Croix Chert (Massif central, France)
Summary: The Grand’Croix Chert (Massif Central, France) contains an exceptionally well-preserved plant assemblage, notable for its diverse reproductive structures. It also preserves numerous fungi and a few fungus-like microorganisms, of which only one has previously been formally described as an…

Hyperlipidemia exacerbates frozen shoulder fibrosis by activating the TGF-β/Smad2/3 signaling pathway via the TBX5-TNC-Itgα2 axis
Summary: Hyperlipidemia is strongly implicated in frozen shoulder, but the molecular mechanisms linking this systemic metabolic disorder to localized joint fibrosis remain unknown. To elucidate this, we established a hyperlipidemic rat model and employed transcriptomics, along with comprehensive…

FAM65A, as a potential predictor of prognosis, promotes colorectal cancer progression via activating Ras/ERK/RSK signaling
Summary: Research indicates that FAM65A is significantly involved in tumorigenesis. Nevertheless, the prognostic implications of FAM65A expression levels and its contribution to CRC malignant progression have yet to be elucidated. Here, we revealed that FAM65A is overexpressed in CRC tissues and is…

Encoding of odor information and reward anticipation in anterior cortical amygdaloid nucleus
Summary: Olfactory information directly reaches the amygdala through the olfactory cortex, without the involvement of thalamic areas, unlike other sensory systems. The anterior cortical amygdaloid nucleus (ACo) is one of the olfactory cortices that receives olfactory sensory input and is part of…

Preparation of LaMn0.4Fe0.6O3/rGO composite catalyst for the thermolysis of ammonium perchlorate
Summary: A LaMn0.4Fe0.6O3/rGO (6:1) perovskite composite was developed to enhance the thermal decomposition of ammonium perchlorate (AP). Optimization using DSC showed that the composite converts AP’s typical two-step decomposition into a single step and reduces the decomposition peak temperature…

Risk of PM2.5 and its constituents for cardiovascular diseases: A cohort study of over 5.8 million participants
Summary: Fine particulate matter (PM2.5) exposure has been associated with increased cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk, but data from Northwest China are limited. We conducted a longitudinal cohort study with 5,838,833 participants enrolled between 2019 and 2021. Region-specific Cox models assessed…

Physical cognition in altered gravity: Link between sensorimotor and cognitive adaptability
Summary: A hallmark of human intelligence is rapid adaptation to changing environments. Yet the link between sensorimotor recalibration to new physical conditions and cognitive updating of internal models remains unclear. We addressed this using altered gravity as a model system. In a…

Heritable ER stress impairs mitochondrial metabolism and maintenance of hematopoietic stem cells after low-dose irradiation
Summary: How hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) respond to low doses of radiation currently used in medicine is largely unknown. Here, we show that HSC exposed to a single 20 mGy dose of irradiation (20 mGy-HSC) exhibit, when proliferating, oxidative stress and altered metabolism associated with…
