A graduate student from southeast Asia, now based in a European country and missing her homeland, agonizes over her next career move.

Fatal blood clots can arise in people who have cancer. The discovery of a cue that underlies these clots offers a therapeutic target and a way to assess clot risk.

The gastrointestinal tract is continuously exposed to foreign antigens in food and commensal microbes with potential to induce adaptive immune responses. Peripherally induced T regulatory (pTreg) cells are essential for mitigating inflammatory responses to these agents1–4. While RORγt+ antigen-presenting cells (RORγt-APCs) were shown to program gut microbiota-specific pTreg5–7, their definition remains

Reasoning, a crucial ability for complex problem-solving, plays a pivotal role in various real-world settings such as negotiation, medical diagnosis, and criminal investigation. It serves as a fundamental methodology in the field of Artificial General Intelligence (AGI). With the ongoing development of foundation models, there is a growing interest in exploring their abilities in reasoning tasks. In

The aortic vessel tree, composed of the aorta and its branches, is crucial for blood supply to the body. Aortic diseases, such as aneurysms and dissections, can lead to life-threatening ruptures, often requiring open surgery. Therefore, patients commonly undergo treatment under constant monitoring, which requires regular inspections of the vessels through medical imaging techniques. Overlapping and
