Doubling up: the genetic journey of tetraploid strawberries unveiled
Chinese Academy of Sciences

A recent study has uncovered new genetic insights into how two wild strawberries—Fragaria corymbosa and Fragaria moupinensis—have evolved to thrive in high-altitude environments. Researchers discovered genetic adaptations linked to ultraviolet (UV) resistance and DNA repair, revealing how these tetraploid strawberries have developed unique survival strategies to withstand extreme conditions. The findings could have profound implications for agricultural breeding, offering a roadmap for developing more resilient crop varieties.

The Best AI Strategy to Recognize Multiple Objects in One Image
Bar-Ilan University

Image classification is one of AI’s most common tasks, where a system is required to recognize an object from a given image. Yet real life requires us to recognize not a single standalone object but rather multiple objects appearing together in a given image. This reality raises the question: what is the best strategy to tackle multi-object classification? The common approach is to detect each object individually and then classify them. But new research challenges this customary approach to multi-object classification tasks. In an article published today in Physica A, researchers from Bar-Ilan University in Israel show how classifying objects together, through a process known as Multi-Label Classification (MLC), can surpass the common detection-based classification.

Could Venetoclax Improve Outcomes of CAR T for Patients with Resistant B-Cell Lymphomas? New Insights at ASH
Roswell Park Comprehensive Cancer Center

About a third of patients with diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL), a fast-growing form of lymphoma, will see their disease advance or recur following treatment. Seeking a new treatment strategy that might boost the effectiveness of existing DLBCL therapies, a team from Roswell Park has been working to understand the underlying mechanisms of the targeted chemotherapy venetoclax. Their findings, to be presented during a talk today at the 66th annual meeting of the American Society of Hematology (ASH) in San Diego, California, provide strong preclinical evidence that adding venetoclax to standard treatment may improve outcomes in patients with treatment-resistant B-cell lymphomas.
