Biologically informed cortical models predict optogenetic perturbations.

eLife Jan 16, 2026

A recurrent neural network fitted to large electrophysiological datasets may help us understand the chain of cortical information transmission. In particular, successful network reconstruction methods should enable a model to predict the response to ... read more

Psychiatry and clinical neurosciences Jan 16, 2026

Autopsies have long been performed to determine the cause of death in the medical field. In fact, autopsies have significantly contributed to our understanding of neurological and psychiatric disorders. Patients and their families who wish to donate ... read more

Floral syndromes in Aquilegia (Ranunculaceae) are associated with nectar- but not pollen-collecting pollinators.

Annals of botany Jan 16, 2026

BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Plant-pollinator interactions span a continuum from strict specialisation to generalisation and most flowers are visited by more than a single functional group of pollinators. However, one functional group might be more efficient... read more

Cancer genome profiling in sarcomas: current status and future perspectives in Japan.

Expert review of anticancer therapy Jan 16, 2026

INTRODUCTION: Sarcomas are rare, molecularly diverse malignancies that challenge accurate diagnosis and effective therapy. Japan has implemented nationwide comprehensive cancer genomic profiling (CGP) since 2019, creating an integrated framework that... read more

AminoacidDB: a liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry-based toolkit for the untargeted analysis of non-protein amino acids.

The Analyst Jan 16, 2026

Non-protein amino acids (npAAs) are produced by microbes, plants and humans, with previous estimates suggesting that there are ≈1000 of such metabolites. Most of the npAAs were discovered as human toxins, intermediates in metabolism and byproducts of... read more

Rebuilding the pelvis: advances in robotic-assisted management of complex pelvic fractures.

Computer assisted surgery (Abingdon, England) Jan 16, 2026

Complex pelvic fractures are infamously challenging to fix surgically because of their fine anatomy and proximity to vital neurovascular structures. Traditional open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) improves stability but is complicated by exce... read more

Host-specific fluorescence dynamics in legume-rhizobium symbiosis during nodulation.

Applied and environmental microbiology Jan 16, 2026

UNLABELLED: The legume-rhizobium symbiosis is a cornerstone of sustainable agriculture due to its ability to facilitate biological nitrogen fixation. Still, real-time visualization and quantification of this interaction remain technically challenging... read more
