Malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM) is an aggressive asbestos-linked cancer with limited therapeutic options and a dismal 5-year survival rate of ~5%. While aberrant production of reactive oxygen and nitrogen species (ROS/RNS) is a hallmark of MPM, ... read more
Spatial transcriptomics enables investigation of tissue organization while preserving molecular and spatial information within intact tissues. However, existing computational methods primarily focus on clustering and batch integration and provide lim... read more
Humans have a remarkable ability to judge causal relationships from a limited number of unreliable observations. Past work on causal cognition has largely focused on normative accounts of human behavior, leaving unknown how biologically plausible neu... read more
A major challenge in neuroscience is to predict how currents in nanodomains affect voltage and ionic concentrations. Cable and Rall theory provide analytic current-voltage relations by neglecting concentration gradients, and the impact of concentrati... read more
Biological organisms are driven by thermodynamic self-preservation, whereas large language models operate as dissipative tools decoupled from existential constraints. We introduce a metabolic model translating this imperative of life into a computati... read more
Aptamers are single stranded DNA or RNA molecules selected for their high affinity and specificity to bind target molecules, similar to antibodies. They are commonly selected through the SELEX process, which involves the iterative exposure of a rando... read more
Copy number variations (CNVs) are major structural genomic variants that contribute to a wide range of human diseases. Accurate detection of CNVs from whole-exome sequencing (WES) data has been a long-sought goal for clinical and population genetic s... read more
Conformational plasticity of RNAs plays important roles in recognizing RNA-binding proteins, and is often modulated by their binding partners. Here, we investigate RNA conformational preferences in a non-redundant dataset of 263 protein-RNA complexes... read more
Humans comprehend language incrementally, updating the representation of sentence meaning with each incoming word. These updates are guided by the distance between each perceived word and prior expectations--the prediction error. The alignment betwee... read more
Artificial intelligence holds the potential to expand the frontier of scientific research, yet recent work has raised concern that it may instead narrow scientific attention to well-established areas. Here, leveraging the 2021 release of AlphaFold2 a... read more
