Perinatal elimination of genetically aberrant human cortical neurons - Nature

Perinatal elimination of genetically aberrant human cortical neurons - Nature

Single-neuron sequencing shows that widespread genomic abnormalities are common prenatally but largely eliminated around birth, indicating developmental genome quality control in human neurons.

Emotion regulation capacity lacks a shared neural signature - Nature

Emotion regulation capacity lacks a shared neural signature - Nature

Sensorimotor and amygdala activation, but not canonical prefrontal control circuits, indicate emotion regulation capacity.

Rare and common genetic variants shape single-cell immune gene expression - Nature

Rare and common genetic variants shape single-cell immune gene expression - Nature

Phase 1 of TenK10K takes single-cell RNA sequencing and matched whole-genome sequencing data from 1,925 individuals, enabling detection of associations for common and rare genetic variants, the latter of which have been uncharacterized in their impa…

MCT1-dependent mitochondrial lactate import sustains cardiac metabolism - Nature

MCT1-dependent mitochondrial lactate import sustains cardiac metabolism - Nature

In mouse myocardium, glucose oxidation persists in the absence of the mitochondrial pyruvate carrier, with mitochondrial MCT1 importing lactate into mitochondria and LDHB oxidizing it to pyruvate and NADH, sustaining cardiac energetics and preventing stress-i…

T and B cells recognize splicing-derived neutrophil neoantigens in lupus - Nature

T and B cells recognize splicing-derived neutrophil neoantigens in lupus - Nature

In systemic lupus erythematosus, aberrant splicing in neutrophils generates novel peptides that are presented on MHC I, driving CD4+ and CD8+ T cell activation, clonal expansion and IgG autoantibody responses, establishing neoantigen-driven autoimmune immunit…

California breaks 28-year record for rabies amid likely nationwide rise - SFGATE

California has broken a decades-old record for rabid animals this year, but public health officials aren't sure what's causing the increase.

Chemical Industry Has Known Risks of Microplastics for Decades - Gizmodo

Chemical Industry Has Known Risks of Microplastics for Decades - Gizmodo

Industry scientists were aware of the potential risks of microplastics as early as the 1970s, an investigation reveals.

Single dose of fast-acting psychedelic nasal spray shows promise for stubborn depression - Medical Xpress

Single dose of fast-acting psychedelic nasal spray shows promise for stubborn depression - Medical Xpress

One in three individuals with major depressive disorder does not get relief from standard daily antidepressant medications. The up-and-coming psychedelic therapeutics like psilocybin or LSD do show promise of quick relief, even for difficult-to-treat depressi…
