Idiopathic nephrotic syndrome (INS) is a serious kidney disease in children with no clear cause. In a recent study, researchers have identified a novel autoantibody targeting vinculin—a protein crucial for kidney cell structure—as a significant factor in INS. The study found that these autoantibodies are present during active diseases and decline when symptoms subside, suggesting potential for diagnosis and disease monitoring. Mouse models were further used to validate these findings.
Recently, professor Jiajun Zhang's team at Sun Yat-sen University, in collaboration with associate professor Xiyan Yang at Guangdong University of Finance, developed a dual-driven framework based on single-molecule imaging data and stochastic dynamic modeling to infer HIV-1 transcription dynamics. This work provides new insights and methodologies for understanding the latent regulation mechanism of HIV-1 and optimizing antiviral treatment strategies.
A sweeping new review reveals how satellites are helping scientists track a quiet but widespread shift in global agriculture: the abandonment of cropland.
