mNSF: multi-sample non-negative spatial factorization by Yi Wang, Kyla Woyshner, Chaichontat Sriworarat, Genevieve Stein-O’Brien, Loyal A. Goff, Kasper D. Hansen

“…Through simulations and real data analysis, we demonstrate mNSF’s efficacy in identifying true factors, shared anatomical regions, and region-specific biological functions. mNSF’s performance is comparable to alignment-based methods when alignment is feasible, while enabling analysis in scenarios where spatial alignment is unfeasible. mNSF shows promise as a robust method for analyzing spatially resolved transcriptomics data across multiple samples.…”

First principles study of dielectric properties of ferroelectric perovskite oxides with extended Hubbard interactions by Min Chul Choi, Wooil Yang, Young-Woo Son, Se Young Park

“…We compute band structures, ferroelectric distortions, polarization, Born effective charges, and switching barriers, compared with local density approximation, generalized gradient approximation (GGA), meta-GGA, and hybrid (HSE06) functionals. Results from DFT + U + V closely match experimental data, with the inter-site Hubbard terms significantly increasing band gaps, making closer alignment with G W results. …”

Feedback-Driven Dynamical Model for Axonal Extension on Parallel Micropatterns by Kyle Cheng, Udathari Kumarasinghe, Cristian Staii

“…Dynamical systems analysis reveals that a saddle–node bifurcation in the actin adhesion subsystem drives a transition to a high-traction motile state, while traction feedback shifts a pitchfork bifurcation in the signaling loop, promoting symmetry breaking and robust alignment. An exact linear solution in the tubulin transport subsystem functions as a built-in speed regulator, ensuring stable elongation rates. …”
