Astrocyte fatty acid uptake and ketogenesis in the mediobasal hypothalamus coordinate adaptive metabolic responses against high-fat diet exposure in male rodents

14/10/2026 - The mediobasal hypothalamus (MBH) constitutes a central regulator of energy homeostasis; specialized neurons in this region integrate peripheral metabolic signals to coordinate processes like food...

Causal contribution of motor-parietal network to conscious kinesthetic perception

14/10/2026 - Bodily awareness, including the conscious experience of limb movement (kinesthesia), is a fundamental form of human consciousness. Tendon vibration-induced kinesthetic illusions provide a tractable...

Repeated Neuromuscular Electrical Stimulation Protocol Disrupts Muscle-to-Brain Signaling in Rats

14/10/2026 - Objective. Neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) is increasingly used to preserve or restore muscle function in patients unable to exercise, and acute NMES improves cognitive performance and...

Evidence-resolved benchmarks separate biological context recognition from direct-partner specificity in protein interaction models

14/10/2026 - Sequence-based models enable scalable protein-protein interaction (PPI) prediction, but whether high scores identify direct physical partners or broader biological compatibility remains unclear. Here...

The hippocampus as an epistemic forager: When curiosity and reward jointly steer exploration and hippocampal replay

14/10/2026 - Hippocampal replay is a widely studied phenomenon wherein special neurons of the hippocampus encoding spacial locations -- place cells -- show a sequential reactivation during periods of immobility,...

Why 627 BindCraft2 trajectories produced zero binders

14/10/2026 - De novo protein-binder design with deep-learning pipelines such as BindCraft2 has been reported to deliver experimental success rates of 10-100% against well-structured targets. Here we report the...

Russia and China are using AI to stage relentless cyberattacks against the UK

15/10/2026 - AI is increasing the speed of attacks against infrastructure in the UK but also being used to help defend against it

Entanglement and apparent thermality in simulated black holes, by Iason Anastasios Sofos, Andrew Hallam, Jiannis Konstantinos Pachos

14/10/2026 - We investigate the apparent thermality of Hawking radiation in the semi-classical limit of quantum black holes using the mean-field limit of a chiral spin-chain simulator, which models fermions...

Conformal data for the $O(2)$ Wilson-Fisher CFT in $(2+1)$-dimensional spacetime from exact diagonalization and matrix product states on the fuzzy sphere, by Arjun Dey, Loic Herviou, Christopher Mudry, Slava Rychkov, Andreas Martin Läuchli

14/10/2026 - We study at zero temperature a microscopic quantum spin-1 model on the fuzzy sphere that realizes the $O(2)$ Wilson-Fisher conformal field theory (CFT) in $(2+1)$-dimensional spacetime at a quantum...

Advances in local analytic sector subtraction: Massive NLO and elements of NNLO automation, by Gloria Bertolotti, Giovanni Limatola, Paolo Torrielli, Sandro Uccirati

14/10/2026 - In this article we present a number of developments within the scheme of Local Analytic Sector Subtraction for infrared divergences in QCD. First, we extend the scheme to deal with...

The Key Technologies and Technological Evolution Mechanisms of Robotic Systems for Fracture Reduction Surgery

14/10/2026 - This review traces three decades of technological evolution in robot‐assisted fracture reduction systems, from early robotic concepts to clinically oriented platforms. Key advances in robotic...

A Reproducible Cortical Model of Focal Epileptiform Activity with a Multi-Biomarker Analysis Pipeline

13/10/2026 - The development of surface-based therapeutic strategies, including extracranial illumination and epicortical electrical or optoelectronic neuromodulation, requires experimental models in which focal...

Chromatin Acetylation Overrides Substrate Stiffness-Dependent Mechanoresponse and Lineage Specification in Human Mesenchymal Stem Cells

13/10/2026 - Human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs) exhibit a stiffness dependent cellular phenotype and lineage bias. Cells on soft substrate display reduced cell spreading, less cellular traction, smaller and...

Genomic Profiling of Estrogen-Related Receptor Identifies Adult Adipocyte-Specific Targets in Drosophila

13/10/2026 - Adipose tissue is a key metabolic organ for carbohydrate and lipid metabolism. Multiple nutrient sensing pathways and metabolic enzymes operate in adipocytes to control energy production and lipid...
