Attention and stimulus structure interact during ensemble encoding of facial expression by Marco A. Sama, Moaz Shoura, Adrian Nestor, Jonathan S. Cant

“…Also, the simultaneous processing of summary representations and individual faces within an ensemble remains largely unexplored. Here, across three experiments, participants viewed ensembles without a central face (n = 32), or with a central face, while attention was distributed across the entire ensemble (n = 38) or focused centrally (n = 38). …”

Resolving multi-image spatial lipidomic responses to inhaled toxicants by machine learning by Nathanial C. Stevens, Tong Shen, Joshua Martinez, Veneese J. B. Evans, Morgan C. Domanico, Elizabeth K. Neumann, Laura S. Van Winkle, Oliver Fiehn

“…Interestingly, our segmented regions overlap with histologically validated lung regions, enabling regional analysis across biological replicates. Our data reveal differences in the abundance of spatially distinct lipids, support the potential role of lipid saturation in healthy lung function, and highlight sex differences in regional lung lipid distribution following ozone exposure. …”

The Complementary Role of Gestures in Spotted Hyena (<i>Crocuta crocuta</i>) Communication by Andrew J. Laurita, Stephanie A. Poindexter

“…Spotted hyenas live in fission–fusion social societies, requiring them to adopt a flexible multimodal communication system across variable spatial scales. However, researchers have extensively studied acoustic and olfactory signals for conspecific communication compared to visual signals, especially in wild populations. …”

Exploring the Antifibrotic Mechanisms of Ghrelin: Modulating TGF-β Signalling in Organ Fibrosis by Mei Li, Chang Zheng, Huiyi Wang, Shan Wang

“…Results The findings from the reviewed studies indicate that ghrelin exerts significant anti-fibrotic effects across multiple organ systems. Specifically, ghrelin was found to downregulate TGF-β expression and suppress Smad signalling molecules, leading to a marked reduction in fibrous tissue accumulation and preservation of organ function. …”
