RNA velocity techniques have emerged as efficient tools for unraveling the complex trajectories of cell development and differentiation. However, most of existing RNA velocity approaches are constrained by estimating transcriptional parameters for ea...
Biological systems rely on asynchronous and temporally overlapping dynamics, allowing for the concurrent activation of multiple processes. This principle is particularly evident in brain function, where cognitive tasks engage distributed, interacting...
Human social interactions rely on the ability to reflect on one's own and others' internal states and traits--a process known as mentalizing. Impaired or altered mentalizing is a hallmark of multiple psychiatric and neurodevelopmental conditions. Yet...
The engineering of enzymes with novel functions is a cornerstone of synthetic biology but remains bottlenecked by the fragmentation between computational design and physical execution. While "self-driving" laboratories promise to resolve this, existi...
RNA utilizes three-dimensional structure in addition to sequence to carry out diverse functions in gene expression and disease. Much like well-folded proteins, RNAs adopt specific three-dimensional structures to carry out their function. Yet comparat...
Direct reprogramming (DR) converts somatic cells directly into target cell types while bypassing an intermediate pluripotent state, such as induced pluripotent stem cells. In practice, DR is achieved by transfecting multiple transcription factors (TF...
Longitudinal biomedical datasets, particularly high-resolution microbiome profiles, present unique and complex challenges arising from their extreme sparsity, prevalence of zero inflation, and inherently dynamic, nonstationary behavior. Conventional ...
Functional specialization in continuous systems requires balancing adaptation to environmental stress with the preservation of encoded information. Yet, the physical constraints governing how living systems reconcile selective information retention w...
Dopamine (DA) has been implicated in exploration-exploitation behaviour, i.e., exploring novel, potentiallybetter options vs. exploiting known, previously rewarding options. Impairments in this trade-off occur inpsychiatric disorders involving DAergi...
How informative are preschoolers' speech vocalizations? Preschoolers' speech is often imprecise, highly variable and hard to interpret by humans and machines; consequently, its predictive value for later developmental outcomes remains quite underexpl...
