Identifying endo-lysosomal alterations downstream of RAS mutations
(2025)The endo-lysosomal system is primarily responsible for vesicle transport and degradation but also plays a crucial role in nutrient sensing and metabolic signaling. As a result, the state of endo-lysosomal pathways significantly ... -
From Spatial Data Infrastructures To Spatial Knowledge Infrastructures – Evaluating the current state of concepts and cases
(2025)This study provides a first-time systematic review into the concept of a Spatial Knowledge Infrastructure (SKI) in comparison with the well-established Spatial Data Infrastructure (SDI) concept. Generalized, an SDI is a ... -
Decoding Large Scale High Density Neural Recordings in Non-Human-Primates using a Spiking Neural Network
(2025)To understand the complex processes underlying perception and action, it is necessary to understand the encoding mechanisms of information in the brain. Decoding, the mapping of brain responses back to a stimulus, is a ... -
