Matrix Viscoelasticity Regulates the Stemness and Multilineage differentiation of Primary Neural Progenitor-Stem Cells in 3D

15/09/2026 - Neural progenitor-stem cells (NPSCs) reside in mechanically dynamic brain microenvironments and give rise to neurons, astrocytes, and oligodendrocytes. Although recent studies have shown that matrix...

SPP1+ Microglia Are Associated with Neuroimmune Rewiring and Glutamatergic Neuronal Injury in ART-Suppressed People Living with HIV

10/09/2026 - Abstract Antiretroviral therapy (ART) effectively suppresses systemic HIV replication but does not eradicate viral reservoirs in the brain, where their identity and contribution to neurological...

Adding layers of information to scRNA-seq data using pre-trained language models

04/09/2026 - Pre-trained language models promise to enrich single-cell analyses with contextual information from large biomedical text corpora, but it remains unclear how to optimally align this knowledge with...

Pygmy raccoons teach each other to make toys out of paper and sand

03/09/2026 - Critically endangered pygmy raccoons on Cozumel Island in Mexico have shown remarkable creativity by making balls out of rubbish at beach clubs

Aberrant neuronal cell cycle re-entry induces late-onset Alzheimer's disease relevant neuropathological and gene expression changes

03/09/2026 - Aberrant neuronal cell cycle re-entry (NCCR) is an alternative pathogenic mechanism in Alzheimer disease (AD) that has gained substantial support in the literature. The pathogenic role of ectopic...

Stabilising effect of modularity in antagonistic networks depends on intraguild interactions

02/09/2026 - Existing literature on ecological networks provides valuable insights into the structure-stability relation of antagonistic, mutualistic or competitive systems, but it remains unclear whether these...

Impact of Higgs-boson measurements on SMEFT fits, by Jorge de Blas, Angelica Goncalves, Víctor Miralles, Laura Reina, Luca Silvestrini, Mauro Valli

- We present current bounds on SMEFT operators that are mainly constrained by Higgs-boson observables, under different assumptions for the flavour structure of the UV theory. We investigate how the...

MetaDome 2027: a comprehensively updated resource for aggregating missense variant evidence across homologous human protein domains

31/08/2026 - The interpretation of missense variants remains a major challenge in clinical genetics. "Meta-domains" aggregate population and pathogenic variation across homologous Pfam domain instances...

AutoPot: Automated and massively parallelized construction of machine-learning potentials, by Max Hodapp, Guillaume Anciaux

28/08/2026 - Machine-learning potentials (MLIPs) have been a breakthrough for computational physics in bringing the accuracy of quantum mechanics to atomistic modeling. To achieve near-quantum accuracy, it is...

Codebase release 0.1 for AutoPot, by Max Hodapp, Guillaume Anciaux

Predictive all-atom simulations of disordered proteins and biomolecular condensates through osmometry-guided force-field optimization

26/08/2026 - All-atom simulations with explicit solvent provide the most detailed and accurate description of dynamics and mechanisms in intrinsically disordered proteins and their condensates. However,...

Reflections on time-reversal in the symmetry topological field theory, by Lea E. Bottini, Nick G. Jones

24/08/2026 - Symmetry under time-reversal appears in the microscopic description of many physical systems. In a quantum mechanical setting it acts as an anti-unitary operator, so does not fall under general...

Feeding our books into generative AI risks creating a cultural void

18/08/2026 - When we put our literature, games and films into AI models, we risk replacing our cultural history with a mishmash of auto-generated works. We desperately need to preserve human writing, says...

Scientists tracked kids for 8 years — the screen time result was unexpected

17/08/2026 - An eight-year Finnish study found that children who spent more time on screens tended to show better cognitive processing as teenagers, challenging common assumptions about screen use. Researchers...

A Bottom-Up Approach to Fungal Plasma Membrane Model: Lipid Mixture Design and Biophysical-Mechanical Characterization

13/08/2026 - The rising incidence of invasive fungal diseases emphasizes the need for novel therapeutic strategies, including membrane-targeting antifungal agents, which require representative lipid models for...

Quantum Coordination Advantages in AI State-Tracking Tasks: Semantic Compilation and Latent Memory

- We prove inference-time quantum coordination advantages for specified AI state-tracking tasks. A solver compresses semantic history into a future-accessible boundary state and later answers a query....

The entanglement-assisted transmission capacity is a strong converse bound for identification

- Classical identification via a noisy channel is a communication task in which the receiver is not required to reconstruct the full transmitted message, but only to decide whether it coincides with a...
