A Panel of Circulating Exosomal sncRNAs Associated With Lung Cancer Risk up to 10 Years in Advance
Current lung cancer screening fails to identify many individuals at risk beyond heavy smokers, highlighting the need for additional predictive biomarkers. This study profiles circulating exosomal small non-coding RNAs (sncRNAs) in a prospective cohort of 202 smokers, including 68...

From Neuropeptides to Toxins: Illuminating the Origins of Venom Complexity in Cone Snails
Abstract New genes and gene functions are key drivers of evolutionary innovation. Venomous animals, such as cone snails, provide striking examples of gene innovation, yet the mechanisms by which toxins arise remain poorly understood. Using the Conus textile genome, we uncover how...

DESI Strong Lens Foundry. IV. Spectroscopic Confirmation of DESI Lens Candidates with VLT/MUSE
Abstract We present integral field spectroscopic observations of 76 strong gravitational lens candidates identified with a residual neural network in the DESI Legacy Imaging Surveys, obtained with the Multi Unit Spectroscopic Explorer (MUSE) on ESO’s Very Large Telescope. These o...
