Much effort has been spent clustering neurons into transcriptomic or functional cell types and characterizingthe differences between them. Beyond subdividing neurons into categories, we must recognize that no twoneurons are identical and that graded physiological or transcriptomic properties exist within cells of agiven type. [...]

Following publication of the original article [1], the authors found errors in the reference citations in the body. The errors had been introduced during the layout process. [...]

Positron Emission Tomography (PET) is a powerful technique in plant sciences for studying allocation and transport processes in vivo. Of particular interest is the radioisotope Carbon-11, which can be applied as ¹¹CO₂ to leaves and used as a tracer to monitor the movement of photoassimilates within complex three-dimensional structures such as root systems.We employ a fully characterized and calibrated, plant-dedicated PET scanner -the phenoPET- which is housed in a climate-controlled chamber, enabling us to perform routine PET measurements on plants under stable environmental conditions.The ¹¹CO₂ is produced using a cyclotron, trapped in a CO₂ capture unit, and delivered to the plants via a custom-built gas exchange system.

Sugar beet is the second largest sugar-producing crop, accounting for about 40% of global sugar output. However, there is limited information regarding the phloem transport dynamics of photoassimilates during taproot development, which is a critical process in sugar accumulation. [...]

Optineurin is an autophagy receptor that plays an important role in the selective degradation of mitochondria, protein aggregates, and intracellular pathogens. It recognizes ubiquitylated cargo by its ubiquitin-binding in ABIN and NEMO (UBAN) domain and recruits the autophagic machinery through its LC3-interacting region (LIR) domain. [...]

Functional connectivity (FC) gradients derived from fMRI provide valuable insights into individual differences in brain organisation, yet aligning these gradients across individuals poses challenges for meaningful group comparisons. Procrustes alignment is often employed to standardize gradients, but the choice of the number of gradients used in alignment introduces complexities that may affect the validity of individual-level analyses.
