This study aims to address head motion issues in resting-state functional MRI (rs-fMRI) data by comparing various correction methods. Specifically, we evaluate the independent component analysis-based automatic removal of motion artifacts (ICA-AROMA) against traditional preprocessing pipelines, including head motion realignment parameters and global signal regression (GSR). Our dataset consisted of 306 participants, including 148 individuals with ASD and 158 participants with typical development (TD). We find that ICA-AROMA, particularly when combined with GSR and physiological noise correction, outperformed other strategies in differentiating ASD from TD participants based on functional connectivity (FC) analyses. The correlation of quality control with functional connectivity (QC-FC) is statistically significant in proportion and distance after applying each denoising pipeline. The mean FC between groups is significant for Yeo's 17-Network in each denoising strategy. ICA-AROMA head motion correction outperformed other strategies, revealing more significant FC networks and distinct brain regions linked to the posterior cingulate cortex and postcentral gyrus. This suggests ICA-AROMA enhances fMRI preprocessing, aiding ASD diagnosis and biomarker development.","PeriodicalId":10552,"journal":{"name":"Communications Biology","volume":"8 1","pages":"473"},"PeriodicalIF":5.2,"publicationDate":"2025-03-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11928684/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143676843","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Maintenance of circulating thyroid hormone levels within an appropriate range is thus a prerequisite for health. In vivo, this objective is, at least in part, facilitated through an extracellular storage depot of thyroglobulin, the glycoprotein precursor for thyroid hormones, in the thyroid follicular lumen. The molecular basis for how soluble thyroglobulin molecules form such dense depot assemblies remains elusive. Here, we describe in vitro biophysical analysis of thyroglobulin phase behaviour, suggesting that thyroglobulin is prone to undergoing ionic strength-dependent phase separation, leading to the formation of liquid-like condensates. Fluorescence photobleaching measurements further show that these condensates age as a function of time to form reversible gel-like high density storage depots of thyroglobulin. IF experiments on mouse and human thyroid follicles ex vivo reveal that spherical globules of Tg protein dense phase are present in the follicular lumen, consistent with the idea that Tg undergoes phase separation. These findings reveal a molecular mechanism for the last-come-first-served process of thyroglobulin storage and release, suggesting a role for extracellular phase separation in thyroid hormone homeostasis by providing organizational and architectural specificity without requiring membrane-mediated confinement.","PeriodicalId":10552,"journal":{"name":"Communications Biology","volume":"8 1","pages":"466"},"PeriodicalIF":5.2,"publicationDate":"2025-03-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11928559/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143676835","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Here we found that a larger PC pool effectively increased the linear electron flow while lowering the reduction state of plastoquinone (PQ) and ferredoxin (Fd), subsequently decreasing ROS formation. The biomass yield was increased in PC-rich cells, which, along with a decrease in intracellular starch content, up-regulated the RuBisCO activity, thereby enhancing carbon fixation. Meanwhile, we observed that ADP-glucose pyrophosphorylase activity was down-regulated, probably due to a lower Fd reduction state leading to reduced starch synthesis. During the transition from low to high light, PC accumulates to a substantial level, effectively reducing the reduction state of PQ and restoring Fv/Fm. These findings highlight the critical function of PC as a redox capacitor in affecting PET, CO2 fixation, and high light acclimation by modulating the redox states of the electron transport chain (ETC) and its potential for optimizing photosynthetic processes.","PeriodicalId":10552,"journal":{"name":"Communications Biology","volume":"8 1","pages":"476"},"PeriodicalIF":5.2,"publicationDate":"2025-03-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11928523/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143676847","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Here, hypoxia's enhancement of cellular contractility was confirmed, and RNA-seq identified 2,262 differentially expressed genes in human myometrial smooth muscle cells (hMSMCs) under hypoxia. Chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP), high-throughput chromosome conformation capture followed by ChIP (Hi-ChIP) were employed to investigate the epigenetic changes, specifically histone modifications (H3K27ac, H3K4me1, H3K27me3, and H3K4me3), in hMSMCs under hypoxia. We identified the enhancer and super-enhancer regions in hMSMCs and found HIF1A as the key mediator of these H3K27ac changes under hypoxia. Labor-associated genes regulated by HIF1A have been identified. Validation experiments on these genes such as CXCL8, RUNX1, IL-6, and PTGES3 demonstrated that HIF1A knockdown reduces their expression and associated H3K27ac modifications in peak regions of their promoters or enhancers. These findings indicate that HIF1A probably mediate changes in histone H3K27ac modifications to regulate myometrial cell contractions under hypoxia, providing potential therapeutic and intervention targets for disorders related to parturition.","PeriodicalId":10552,"journal":{"name":"Communications Biology","volume":"8 1","pages":"475"},"PeriodicalIF":5.2,"publicationDate":"2025-03-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11928739/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143676836","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study conducted comprehensive comparative analyses between the phylogenetic relationships and functional/structural stabilities at protein and mRNA levels of cytosolic malate dehydrogenase (cMDH) orthologs of 41 marine mollusks living at widely different environmental temperatures. At the protein level, a significant negative correlation between adaptation temperature and heat-induced movements of the cMDH backbone was found. The movement fluctuation of individual residue varied similarly among cMDH orthologs. At the mRNA level, the free energy that occurs during the formation of the ensemble of mRNA secondary structure was significantly positively correlated with adaptation temperature. The fraction of guanine and cytosine increased with adaptation temperature. The proportion of variance in adaptation temperature that can be explained by the thermal stability (R2) was decreased after phylogenetic generalized least squares but was almost significant at both protein and mRNA levels (P < 0.05). Those analyses reveal the phylogenetic influence on the thermal adaptation of species.

We introduce StainAI, a deep learning tool that leverages 20x whole-slide immunohistochemistry images for rapid, high-throughput analysis of microglial morphology. StainAI maps microglia to a brain atlas, classifies their morphology, quantifies morphometric features, and computes an activation score for any region of interest. As a proof of principle, StainAI was applied to a rat model of pediatric asphyxial cardiac arrest, accurately classifying millions of microglia across multiple slices, surpassing current methods by orders of magnitude, and identifying both known and novel activation patterns. Extending its application to a non-human primate model of simian immunodeficiency virus infection further demonstrated its generalizability beyond rodent datasets, providing new insights into microglial responses across species.

Recent studies showing the acquisition of vocal sequences during ontogeny in chimpanzees and marmosets challenge this view. Here we further explore the potential flexibility of non-human primate vocal production by comparing the vocal sequence repertoire across age groups in sooty mangabeys, a species with a rich sequence repertoire for a catarrhine monkey. We recorded 1844 utterances from 75 individuals from two wild groups in Taï National Park, Ivory Coast. We used custom-made Bayesian models specifically designed to estimate the individual repertoire size of vocal sequences while accounting for under-sampling of certain vocalisations in certain individuals. We hereby provide a tool to estimate vocal repertoire size applicable to other taxa. We found no relevant ontogenetic changes in vocal repertoire size and utterance length. Ontogenetic vocal sequence expansion is therefore not universal among primates that routinely use vocal sequences to communicate. Rather, this feature may have evolved independently in distantly-related taxa due to social features thought to promote vocal complexity, such as the complex social organisation of chimpanzees and the cooperative breeding systems of marmosets.","PeriodicalId":10552,"journal":{"name":"Communications Biology","volume":"8 1","pages":"465"},"PeriodicalIF":5.2,"publicationDate":"2025-03-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11926236/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143669310","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
