Commensal yeast promotes Salmonella Typhimurium virulence Summary This Nature study shows that the common gut yeast Candida albicans can increase the virulence of Salmonella Typhimurium (STm) through a direct interkingdom…
Supervised learning in DNA neural networks Summary This paper reports a synthetic DNA-based neural network that performs supervised learning in vitro. The system uses DNA strand-displacement seesaw motifs extended with…
3D-printed micro ion trap technology for quantum information applications Summary This Nature paper demonstrates a fabrication route for micro ion traps using high-resolution 3D printing (two-photon polymerisation) combined with metal…
Adaptive and context-aware volumetric printing Summary This Nature paper introduces GRACE (Generative, Adaptive, Context-Aware 3D Printing), a workflow that combines tomographic volumetric printing with light-sheet imaging, computer vision and parametric…
Training of physical neural networks Summary Physical neural networks (PNNs) use analogue physical systems — optics, electronics, mechanics, exciton–polaritons and other platforms — to perform neural-like computations directly in hardware.…
A nanobody specific to prefusion glycoprotein B neutralizes HSV-1 and HSV-2 Summary This study reports Nb1_gbHSV, a prefusion-specific camelid single-domain antibody (nanobody) that neutralises both herpes simplex virus 1 (HSV-1)…
Brain-wide representations of prior information in mouse decision-making Summary This study from the International Brain Laboratory maps where and how prior information (the animal’s expectation about which side a stimulus…
Patterned invagination prevents mechanical instability during gastrulation Summary This Nature paper uses live imaging, genetics, laser perturbations and a particle–spring physical model to show that the well-known cephalic furrow in…
Summary Spatial-DMT is a new spatial multi-omics method that jointly profiles the DNA methylome and the transcriptome on the same tissue section at near single-cell resolution. The protocol blends microfluidic…
A circuit that integrates drive state and social contact to gate mating Summary This Nature paper identifies a thalamic gate that combines an internal sexual drive signal with precise mechanosensory…
