In this talk, we discuss the paper “Inferring circadian phases and quantifying biological desynchrony across single-cell transcriptomes” by Andrea Salati et al., bioRxiv, 2026.   Abstract: Single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) reveals heterogeneity in circadian clock states across individual cells, yet accurately inferring circadian phase and distinguishing biological desynchrony from technical noise remains challenging. Here, we …

In this talk, we discuss the paper “Insulin resistance prediction from wearables and routine blood biomarkers” by Ahmed A. Metwally et al., Nature, 2026. Abstract: Insulin resistance (IR), a primary precursor to type 2 diabetes, is characterized by impaired insulin action in tissues1. However, diagnostic methods remain expensive and inaccessible, which hinders early intervention2,3. Here …

In this talk, we discuss the paper "A Metabolism-Informed Neural Network Identifies Pathways Influencing the Potency and Toxicity of Antimicrobial Combinations" by Harkirat Sigh Arora et al., npj drug discovery, 2026. Abstract: Antimicrobial resistance poses a major global threat, driven by diminishing efficacy of current treatments and limited new therapies. Combination therapy with existing drugs …
