Background Myelodysplastic Syndromes (MDS) are a group of heterogeneous diseases originating from bone marrow hematopoietic stem cells, characterized by reduced blood cell production. Although certain progress in treatment has been made in recent years, allogeneic hematopoietic stem-cell transplantation (HSCT) remains the only potentially curative ...

Study on the Extent of Resection Threshold in Different Molecular Subtypes of Newly Diagnosed IDH-wildtype Glioblastoma Introduction Glioblastoma (GBM) is the most common malignant brain tumor in adults. Although surgical resection, radiotherapy, and chemotherapy are the current standard treatment regimens, the prognosis of GBM remains poor, with a...

The 5’ untranslated region (5’UTR) is a regulatory region at the start of messenger RNA (mRNA) molecules, playing a crucial role in regulating the translation process and affecting protein expression levels. Language models have demonstrated effectiveness in decoding protein and genomic sequence functions. In this study, the authors introduce a lan...

This paper reports on research investigating how zebra finches recover their complex learned behaviors following large-scale neuronal perturbations. The researchers selectively disrupted the activity of the projection neurons in the HVC (hyperpallium ventralis) region critical for song sequence generation in zebra finches using genetic tools, leadi...

This paper reports a study on the cognitive representation of intracranial self-stimulation (ICSS) of midbrain dopamine neurons. The authors aimed to answer why rats work to obtain ICSS, i.e., how the pulsatile activation of dopamine neurons is represented in the brain. Research Background: The pulsatile activation of dopamine neurons is typically ...

Background Introduction: Large-scale neural recording data can typically be described by patterns of co-activated neurons. However, the view of constraining neural activity variability to a fixed low-dimensional subspace may overlook higher-dimensional structures, such as fixed neural sequences or slowly evolving latent spaces. This study argues th...

Single-cell sequencing technology reveals unique splicing patterns in developing and adult mouse and human brains In the nervous system, the splicing patterns of messenger RNA (mRNA) play a critical role in establishing cellular identity and regulating cellular functions. However, a comprehensive atlas depicting the mRNA splicing patterns across br...

Linking Healthy Neurodevelopment with Imaging, Transcriptomic, and Genetic Associations in Autism Spectrum Disorder and Schizophrenia: A Study of Cortical Gene Expression Patterns Background: How does the complex anatomy and functional organization of the human brain develop from the expression of more than 20,000 genes? And how does this process g...

This study utilized induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC)-derived neurons to investigate the critical role of lysosome-related vesicles in axonal mRNA transport and mitochondrial homeostasis maintenance. By knocking out BORC subunits (borcs5 or borcs7) to block the entry of lysosome-related vesicles into axons, researchers found that this led to a s...

This study investigated the role of the transcription factor Meis2 in regulating the development and differentiation of γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA)ergic neurons during mouse embryonic development. Researchers comprehensively applied techniques such as CRISPR/Cas9 knockdown, single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq), and lineage tracing, and found that ...
