by Thomas Sharpton, Edward W. Davis II, Alexandra Alexiev Responsible use of large language models (LLMs) in life science research demands a unified approach to risk, yet existing guidance treats prompting and verification as separate topics rather than as integrated components of a single risk management framework.

by Brian Gardner, Patrick T. McCarthy, Joseph Chrol-Cannon, Dan F. M. Goodman, Simon R. Schultz, Giovanni Lo Iacono, Simon M. Stringer Feature binding - how the brain encodes which features are part of other features to form representations of the coherent objects we perceive - remains an unsolved problem in neuroscien
by Armita Najmi, Noelia Grande Gutiérrez Proper placental development is essential for a healthy pregnancy. It depends on the remodeling of the maternal uterine vasculature to meet fetal demands while maintaining physiological intervillous space (IVS) hemodynamics for biochemical exchange. Terminal villi, the primary s

by Kevin S. Chen, Ying-Jen Yang Extracting circuit mechanisms from neuronal population activity is challenging due to the heterogeneous neuronal properties and diverse strengths in synaptic connections. Standard inference methods, such as Generalized Linear Models (GLMs), typically regress for parameters on all neurona

Scott, Dagim Shiferaw Tadele, Otso Ovaskainen Statistically analysing interacting particle systems remains challenging because the governing equations are analytically intractable. Existing solutions include moment closure

While sensorimotor transformations have been extensively studied in visual and somatosensory systems, their structure remains poorly understood in substrate-borne vibration
