Autoencoder-Driven Fiducial Landmark Identification in 3D Brain MRI for Neuroimaging Alignment by G. Deepali, H. Anitha, B. P. Swathi, M. V. Suhas

“…Accurate identification of fiducial markers, such as the left pre-auricle (LPA), right pre-auricle (RPA), and nasion, is critical for head localization, source reconstruction, anatomical alignment, and ensuring reproducibility in functional and structural neuroimaging studies. However, manual annotation of these landmarks is time-consuming, prone to human error, and further complicated by variations in MRI acquisition protocols and incomplete head coverage. …”

ZNFX1 suppresses apoptosis-associated mRNA stability in cardiomyocyte to protect against myocardial infarction by Yang Shi, Zeqi Sun, Yongchao Chen, Yanli Xie, Chen Chen, Han Lou, Jan Mohammad Omar, Lei Wang, Ling Liu, Heng Liu, Limin Zhao, Henghui Xu, Xiaohan Li, Run Xu, Zhouxiu Chen, Khuzin Dinislam, Yong Zhang, Xin Liu

“…Mechanistically, RNA-seq identified apoptosis as a possible regulated pathway of ZNFX1, overexpression of ZNFX1 repressed the cardiomyocyte apoptosis that gives rise to MI while knockdown of ZNFX1 deteriorated it. Given the structural similarity between ZNFX1 and UPF1 that confers RNA decay functionality, an in-depth investigation is needed to understand the collective impact of ZNFX1-mediated RNA decay on the process of apoptosis. …”

Evaluating the Impact of Near-Natural Restoration Strategies on the Ecological Restoration of Landslide-Affected Areas Across Different Time Periods by Sibo Chen, Jinguo Hua, Wanting Liu, Siyu Yang, Wenli Ji

“…Near-natural restoration drives system recovery through the “selection of native species via competition and activation of microbial functional groups”. The 6–11-year period post-landslide is a critical window for structural optimization, and we recommend phased dynamic regulation to balance biodiversity and ecological functions.…”
