I think this paper will become a game-changer for studying the microbiome. Matthew Schmitt and I found that a simple neural network, when trained on paired sequencing and functional data, can infer functional group structure directly from data. Preprint -> biorxiv.org/content/10.648…

Excited to share our new manuscript from the Yoshimatsu and MacDonald labs. biorxiv.org/content/10.648…. We found that my favourite glial cells can regulate local retinoic acid signalling to specialise cone photoreceptors for high acuity vision.

Highlighting preprint stories from within the preLights community📽️ Teodora narrates her preprint showing that functional decline in the ageing retinal epithelium results from a change in the tissue's mechanical balance due to natural cell loss! #Short⬇️ youtube.com/shorts/CWYRXZ-…

Changing training data alone can improve deep learning prediction of spatial transcriptomics gene expression from histology images by 38% (without any changes to model architecture). We've updated our preprint showing this with expanded results: biorxiv.org/content/10.110… 🧵👇 1/4

I found this preprint interesting. The authors engineered NPCs with dual trans-synaptic tracers that differentiate into active neurons and integrate into host circuits in vitro and in vivo after spinal cord injury. biorxiv.org/content/10.648…

See our newest manuscript dissecting emergent functions in a multispecies biofilm (metabolite cross-feeding, siderophore induction and cross-species utilization) that translate to plant growth promotion Great work by @JiyuXie_ and @XinliSun biorxiv.org/content/10.648…

Excited to share our latest work on bioRxiv! 🌿 We discovered that Ca2+ oscillation occurs in Arabidopsis zygote. Interestingly, instead of F-actin, this Ca2+ wave promotes the turnover of microtubule band to regulate cell elongation. doi.org/10.64898/2026.…

Drosophila folks! We just shared a new protocol for surgical preparation enabling long-term imaging in adult flies. It’s low-cost, simple, and highly repeatable. For demonstration, we also show 10-day voltage imaging and 1-week population calcium imaging. biorxiv.org/content/10.648…
