CONCLUSIONS: The PND was significantly associated with postoperative proBDNF and mBDNF.

CONCLUSIONS: The coexistence of diabetes and sarcopenic obesity synergistically increases cardiovascular disease risk beyond the effects of either condition alone in Chinese adults. These findings highlight the importance of comprehensive screening and integrated management strategies for individuals with both conditions to prevent cardiovascular complications.

CONCLUSIONS: Trying to delineate the unique molecular profile of older women and men becomes essential for understanding the mechanisms underlying the sex-frailty paradox. Further research on sex-specific determinants is required to enhance our understanding of aging and develop effective strategies to promote health and longevity in both sexes.

Autobiographical memory is essential for older adults, providing a foundation for self-identity. Although healthy aging is accompanied by changes in memory retrieval, musical memory remains relatively unaffected, suggesting music may serve as a cue for autobiographical memory recall. Autobiographically salient (ABS) music (i.e., deeply encoded songs associated with significant people, places, and events) is posited to engage distinct memory processes from familiar (FAM) music (i.e., songs that...

Single-cell multiomic technologies enable the joint analysis of different modalities, but face challenges due to experimental complexity. Current computational methods for single-cell cross-modality translation lack biological interpretability. Here, we present Cisformer, a cross-attention-based generative model tailored for cross-modality generation between gene expression and chromatin accessibility at single-cell resolution. Systematic benchmarking demonstrates the superior accuracy and...
