γ‐Secretase inhibitors in cancer clinical trials are pharmacologically and functionally distinct by Yong Ran, Fokhrul Hossain, Antonio Pannuti, Christian B Lessard, Gabriela Z Ladd, Joo In Jung, Lisa M Minter, Barbara A Osborne, Lucio Miele, Todd E Golde

“…Extending these findings to mammosphere inhibition assays in triple‐negative breast cancer lines, we establish that these GSIs have different functional effects. We also demonstrate that the processive γ‐secretase cleavage pattern established for amyloid precursor protein (APP) occurs in multiple substrates and that potentiation of γ‐secretase cleavage is attributable to a direct action of low concentrations of GSIs on γ‐secretase. …”

Dynamic and low-dimensional modeling of brain functional connectivity on Riemannian manifolds by Mingyu Wang, Yueming Wang, Yuxiao Yang

“…We evaluate the proposed RSSM, RPF, and REM using simulation and real-world EEG datasets, demonstrating that the RSSM enables accurate prediction of the EEG FC time-series and classification of emotional states, outperforming traditional Euclidean methods. Our results have implications for modeling brain FC on the SPD Riemannian manifold to study various brain functions and dysfunctions.…”
