Pick one, but be quick : 5' splice sites and the problems of too many choices by Roca, Xavier, Krainer, Adrian R., Eperon, Ian C.

“…Splice site selection is fundamental to pre-mRNA splicing and the expansion of genomic coding potential. 5′ Splice sites (5′ss) are the critical elements at the 5′ end of introns and are extremely diverse, as thousands of different sequences act as bona fide 5′ss in the human transcriptome. …”

Niemann-Pick type c disease: pathogenesis and therapy by Colaco, A

“…<p>Niemann-Pick disease Type C is a rare, lysosomal storage disorder caused by defects in either <em>NPC1</em> (95% of cases) or <em>NPC2</em>, and characterized by progressive neurodegeneration that ultimately results in premature death. …”

Reactivating and reorganizing activity-silent working memory: two distinct mechanisms underlying pinging the brain by Yang, C, He, X, Cai, Y

“…Recent studies have proposed that visual information in working memory (WM) can be maintained in an activity-silent state and reactivated by task-irrelevant high-contrast visual impulses (“ping”). Although pinging the brain has become a popular tool for exploring activity-silent WM, its underlying mechanisms remain unclear. …”

3D spine shape estimation from single 2D DXA by Bourigault, E, Jamaludin, A, Zisserman, A

“…Scoliosis is currently assessed solely on 2D lateral deviations, but recent studies have also revealed the importance of other imaging planes in understanding the deformation of the spine. Consequently, extracting the spinal geometry in 3D would help quantify these spinal deformations and aid diagnosis. …”

Development of an automatic fruit picking robot based on object detection algorithm by Wan, Jiaxin

“…In the agricultural field, especially in the process of harvest, it needs a lot of human resources to perform various tasks, such as picking fruits, which may be labor intensive. An effective robotics picking system can solve this problem to a large extent. …”
