Survival and divergence in a small group: The extraordinary genomic history of the endangered Apennine brown bear stragglers [PDF]

, 2017
About 100 km east of Rome, in the central Apennine Mountains, a critically endangered population of ∼50 brown bears live in complete isolation. Mating outside this population is prevented by several 100 km of bear-free territories.

18β‐Glycyrrhetinic Acid and a Nano‐Liposomal Formulation Alleviate Depression‐Like Behaviors via the Microglial mTOR‐Autophagy‐NLRP3 Axis

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Using a novel zebrafish‐based inflammatory screening strategy, we screened and identified 18β‐glycyrrhetinic acid (18β‐GA) as a promising anti‐inflammatory candidate. We uncover a microglial mTOR–autophagy–NLRP3 axis that constitutes the mechanistic core of 18β‐GA–mediated neuroprotection.

Requirement for Slit-1 and Robo-2 in zonal segregation of olfactory sensory neuron axons in the main olfactory bulb [PDF]

, 2007
The formation of precise stereotypic connections in sensory systems is critical for the ability to detect and process signals from the environment. In the olfactory system, olfactory sensory neurons (OSNs) project axons to spatially defined glomeruli ...

Transcriptomic and Neuroimaging Decoding of Brain‐Immune Crosstalk in Thyroid Eye Disease

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study employed an imaging transcriptomics framework integrating resting‐state fMRI with Allen Human Brain Atlas transcriptomic data, coupled with peripheral blood RNA sequencing, to decode brain‐immune crosstalk in thyroid eye disease. Frontal, parietal, subcortical, and brainstem regions were identified as key neuroimmune‐ vulnerable regions ...

gnSPADE: Incorporating Gene Network Structures Enhances Reference‐Free Deconvolution in Spatial Transcriptomics

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
gnSPADE integrates gene‐network structures into a probabilistic topic modeling framework to achieve reference‐free cell‐type deconvolution in spatial transcriptomics. By embedding gene connectivity within the generative process, gnSPADE enhances biological interpretability and accuracy across simulated and real datasets, revealing spatial organization ...

Biomarker‐Agnostic Detection of Ovarian Cancer from Blood Plasma Using a Machine Learning‐Driven Electronic Nose

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
This study introduces a biomarker‐agnostic diagnostic strategy for ovarian cancer, utilizing a machine learning‐enhanced electronic nose to analyze volatile organic compound signatures from blood plasma. By overcoming the dependence on specific biomarkers, this approach enables accurate detection, staging, and cancer type differentiation, offering a ...

The Domestication of Wild Boar Could Result in a Relaxed Selection for Maintaining Olfactory Capacity

Life
Domesticated animals are artificially selected to exhibit desirable traits, however not all traits of domesticated animals are the result of deliberate selection.

Unveiling a New Link: Cholesterol Deficiency in Smith–Lemli–Opitz and Niemann–Pick C as a Driver of Ciliopathies

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The ciliopathies are a group of genetic disorders caused by defective function of either the primary cilia (a large number) or the motile cilia (a much smaller number). These have been defined as diseases with mutations in genes encoding individual ciliary or cilia‐associated proteins.

The Importance of Olfaction for Mixed Paternity in Birds

Ecology and Evolution
Olfaction can aid individuals in finding genetically compatible mates in many animals, while high levels of mixed paternity may result from a limited ability to evaluate their mate's genetic profile against their own before mating.

Altered Nasal Microbiota in Sinonasal Tumors: A Comparative Analysis of Malignant and Benign Sinonasal Tumors

International Forum of Allergy &Rhinology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Although shifts in nasal microbiota have been well‐documented in inflammatory upper airway conditions, microbiota tumor‐associated alterations remain uncharacterized. This study is the first to compare sinonasal microbiota profiles of patients with malignant tumors (MT), benign tumors (BT), and controls, offering insights into tumor‐
