Single-cell RNA-sequencing enables testing for differential expression (DE) between conditions at a cell type level. While powerful, one of the limitations of such approaches is that the sensitivity of DE testing is dictated by the sensitivity of clustering, which is often suboptimal. To overcome this, we present miloDE-a cluster-free framework for DE testing (available as an open-source R package). We illustrate the performance of miloDE on both simulated and real data. Using miloDE, we identify a transient hemogenic endothelia-like state in mouse embryos lacking Tal1 and detect distinct programs during macrophage activation in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis.

Background: Alzheimer's disease and related dementias (ADRD) disproportionately affect Latinos compared to non-Latino whites. Leveraging the non-monolithic structure of Latin America, which represents a large variability in social determinants of health (SDoH) and high levels of genetic admixture, we aimed to determine contributors to ADRD disparities within Latinos, focusing on genetic ancestry and SDoH.
Method: Community-dwelling participants aged 65 and older (n = 4000) from Cuba, Dominican Republic, Mexico, and Peru completed the 10/66 protocol assessments, including sociodemographic and risk factors questionnaire, neurological exam, cognitive assessment, and blood draw.
Activity Space Mapping and Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis Uptake Among Gay, Bisexual, and Other Sexual Minority Men in Small Cities and Towns in the United States.

In the US, gay, bisexual, and other sexual minoritized men (GBSMM) remain disproportionately impacted by HIV, and continue to experience unmet needs for pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP). A growing body of literature has underscored the need to consider the geographic factors of HIV prevention, particularly beyond administrative boundaries and towards localized spaces that influence the accessibility and utilization of health-promoting resources. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to examine the associations of driving times from activity spaces to PrEP offering facilities and individual PrEP uptake.

Article Synopsis
- Macrophages are a significant part of the heart's structure and play different roles in both healthy and diseased states, originating from either embryonic or definitive hematopoiesis.
- The two main populations of cardiac macrophages can be distinguished by the presence of the CCR2 receptor, with embryonic-derived ones involved in tissue maintenance, while CCR2 macrophages are linked to inflammation and damage.
- Recent advancements in single-cell RNA sequencing and spatial transcriptomics have deepened our understanding of macrophage diversity and their interactions within the heart, offering potential new pathways for therapeutic targets and diagnostics.
What is in a food store name? Leveraging large language models to enhance food environment data.

Introduction: It is not uncommon to repurpose administrative food data to create food environment datasets in the health department and research settings; however, the available administrative data are rarely categorized in a way that supports meaningful insight or action, and ground-truthing or manually reviewing an entire city or neighborhood is rate-limiting to essential operations and analysis. We show that such categorizations should be viewed as a classification problem well addressed by recent advances in natural language processing and deep learning-with the advent of large language models (LLMs).
Methods: To demonstrate how to automate the process of categorizing food stores, we use the foundation model BERT to give a first approximation to such categorizations: a best guess by store name.
Hither-CMI: Prediction of circRNA-miRNA Interactions Based on a Hybrid Multimodal Network and Higher-Order Neighborhood Information via a Graph Convolutional Network.

Numerous studies show that circular RNA (circRNA) functions as a sponge for microRNA (miRNA), significantly regulating gene expression by interacting with miRNA, which in turn affects the progression of human diseases. Traditional experimental approaches for investigating circRNA-miRNA interactions (CMI) are both time-consuming and costly, making computational methods a valuable alternative. Hence, we propose a computational model for predicting CMI, leveraging a ybrid multmodal nework and igher-order nighborhood infomation (Hither-CMI).
