'Learning braille gives me the opportunity to hopefully fully sit down and read a book again. I'm really loving it, it's like learning a new language.'
A woman from Northern Ireland has spoken of finding positivity again after being diagnosed with glaucoma at the age of 39.
"There's so much new technology now with audio books and speak aloud on your phone, but there's nothing like holding a book in your hand, and being able to read it in quiet, hearing it yourself," Dawn told Belfast Live. "You can't really watch TV or do anything while lying in that position, and I really missed being able to read. I hatched a plan then to learn braille.
She said being able to raise awareness of sight loss issues is something very important to her, and has urged the importance of attending regular eye appointments and watching out for any changes in your vision.

Statistical and machine learning methods for spatially resolved transcriptomics data analysis - Genome BiologyThe recent advancement in spatial transcriptomics technology has enabled multiplexed profiling of cellular transcriptomes and spatial locations. As the capacity and efficiency of the experimental technologies continue to improve, there is an emerging need for the development of analytical approaches. Furthermore, with the continuous evolution of sequencing protocols, the underlying assumptions of current analytical methods need to be re-evaluated and adjusted to harness the increasing data complexity. To motivate and aid future model development, we herein review the recent development of statistical and machine learning methods in spatial transcriptomics, summarize useful resources, and highlight the challenges and opportunities ahead.

Memory for nonadjacent dependencies in the first year of life and its relation to sleep - Nature CommunicationsGrammar learning requires memory for temporally organised, rule-based patterns in speech. Here, the authors use event-related potentials to show that 6 to 8 month-old infants can form memory of dependencies between nonadjacent elements in sentences of an unknown language, regardless of whether they nap or stay awake after encoding.
