Systematic Evaluation of Isolation Techniques and Freeze‐Thaw Effects on Plasma Extracellular Vesicle Heterogeneity and Subpopulation Profiling by Xueqi Li, Xiangyu Li, Lingjun Tong, Liqiao Hu, Yanfen Hong, Ruoyu Zhou, Zonghong Li, Ming Dong, Junjie Hou, Tao Xu, Wen Zhong

“…However, standardizing blood‐derived EV isolation remains challenging due to the heterogeneity of EV populations and variability among isolation techniques. In this study, we systematically evaluated three distinct EV isolation methods, including asymmetrical flow field‐flow fractionation (AF4), size‐exclusion chromatography (SEC) and automated centrifugal microfluidic disc system combined with functionalized membranes (Exo‐CMDS), to compare their efficiency in isolating EVs from both freshly frozen and freeze‐thawed plasma samples. …”

The kinesin AtPSS1 promotes synapsis and is required for proper crossover distribution in meiosis. by Yann Duroc, Afef Lemhemdi, Cécile Larchevêque, Aurélie Hurel, Maria Cuacos, Laurence Cromer, Christine Horlow, Susan J Armstrong, Liudmila Chelysheva, Raphael Mercier

“…Here we show that the Arabidopsis kinesin AtPSS1 plays a major role in chromosome synapsis and regulation of CO distribution. In Atpss1 meiotic cells, chromosome axes and DNA double strand breaks (DSBs) appear to form normally but only a variable portion of the genome synapses and is competent for CO formation. …”

Human brain state dynamics are highly reproducible and associated with neural and behavioral features. by Kangjoo Lee, Jie Lisa Ji, Clara Fonteneau, Lucie Berkovitch, Masih Rahmati, Lining Pan, Grega Repovš, John H Krystal, John D Murray, Alan Anticevic

“…We demonstrate that a joint analysis of state-trait neural variations and feature reduction reveal general motifs of individual differences, encompassing state-specific and general neural features that exhibit day-to-day variability. The principal neural variations co-vary with the principal variations of behavioral phenotypes, highlighting cognitive function, emotion regulation, alcohol and substance use. …”
