... of https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-025-64235-y

yes, this paper is the main subject of the article
The article links two papers (text: "Two recent papers underscore that potential."):

- https://www.nature.com/articles/s41928-025-01439-6 (link text: "In one study")

- https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-025-64235-y (link text: "In the most recent paper")

yes understood, the first article isn't the main subject of the article.
