Authors Chopra A, Xylaki M, Yin F, Castro-Hernández R, Merghani M, Grande V, Mollenhauer B, Fischer A, Outeiro TF Journal NPJ Parkinsons Disease Citation NPJ Parkinsons Dis. 2026 May 6. Abstract N6-methyladenosine (m6A) is the most abundant transcriptional modification in eukaryotic RNA, regulating RNA fate. While the functions of m6A

Authors Navarro-Flores A, Krüger DM, Kaurani L, Fischer A, Schulze TG, Heilbronner U Journal Molecular Psychiatry Citation Mol Psychiatry. 2026 May 1. Abstract Executive functions (EFs) are meta-cognitive abilities that orchestrate goal-directed behavior (i.e., set-shifting, working memory, and inhibitory control). Despite their strong genetic composition, the development of EFs is

Authors Gligonov I, Loetgering L, Tenopala-Carmona F, Hsieh CL, Gregor I, Enderlein J Journal BioRxiv Citation bioRxiv 2026.04.28.721333 Abstract Optical microscopy is fundamental to modern life-science research, yet interpreting its results requires precise modelling of point spread functions (PSFs) within complex environments. This manuscript introduces a versatile and efficient approach

Authors Melas K, Talevi V, Imtiaz MA, Krüger DM, Pena-Centeno T, Fischer A, Aziz NA, Breteler MMB Journal Molecular Psychiatry Citation Mol Psychiatry. 2026 Apr 24. Abstract MicroRNAs (miRNAs) have been linked to brain disorders, but their relations with hippocampal structure and atrophy remain unexplored. As the hippocampus is pivotal

Authors Brinker T, Günther A, Kiszka KA, Rhee JS, Gregor C Journal Scientific Reports Citation Sci Rep. 2026 Apr 20;16(1):12892. Abstract The bacterial bioluminescence system, consisting of a luciferase and enzymes for intracellular luciferin synthesis, enables autonomous bioluminescence imaging of mammalian cells. Its continuous light emission without the need for

Authors Arenas-Velilla S, Munk A, Rodríguez LA Journal Arxiv Citation arXiv:2604.12940 Abstract Recently, the statistical properties of empirical Entropic Optimal Transport (EOT) have attracted great interest, as this quantity has been shown to be useful for complex data analysis, among other reasons due to its computational efficiency. In several applications,

Authors Fischer J, Jurado A, Betz T Journal Arxiv Citation arXiv:2604.14918 Abstract Recent advances in the field of active soft matter promise a lot. Both, experimental advances and theoretical understanding point towards new material classes in reach, for example self-healing materials that might switch their properties from elastic to solid
