The upside of epilepsy: Theories of an evolutionary paradox
Abstract The persistence of common, heritable conditions, like epilepsy, that are associated with reduced reproductive fitness is an evolutionary paradox. Endogenous analgesic, anti‐depressant, and inflammatory mechanisms able to repair compromised functions can offer advantages in unexpected crises.

Magnifying Glass on Sinonasal NUT Carcinoma Heterogeneity via Spatial Transcriptomics
ABSTRACT Background Nuclear protein in testis (NUT) carcinomas (NCs) are rare, clinically aggressive tumors with characteristic translocation involving NUTM1 and BRD4 genes. While NCs are generally characterized by undifferentiated basaloid cells with focal/abrupt squamous differentiation, tumoral heterogeneity remains unexplored.
