A triboelectric radical generation route to chlorine disinfectants from brine
Abstract Contact electrification (CE), one of the earliest documented physical phenomena, has traditionally been associated with triboelectric charging but rarel...
The OsMYB4 transcription factor enables coordinated improvement of grain yield and quality in rice
Optimizing Traps and Dihedral Angles to Modulate Charge Transport Behavior for High-Temperature Dielectric Energy Storage
Prognostic RNA-splicing archetypes in breast cancer identified by extended pre-training of histopathology foundation models
Abstract Recently, histopathology foundation models (hFM) have rapidly advanced in size and complexity, achieving excellent performance in cancer diagnosis and biomarker discovery. H...
Spatiotemporal dynamics of scattering exceptional points
Abstract Exceptional points (EPs) offer new routes to control wave-matter interactions in non-Hermitian systems. Whereas conventional EPs arise in Hamiltonians and mark eigenstate co...
Red electroluminescent Cu4I4 bipyramids with external quantum efficiency beyond 40%
Abstract The development of red cluster light-emitting devices (CLED) lags far behind blue and green congeners with respect to efficiencies, since multiple excit...
Rapid GC content evolution in rice through GC-biased gene conversion and selection for translation efficiency
Disruption of microtubules with low intensity ultrasound rescues hair follicle damage by paclitaxel in mouse models
Harnessing local chemical order in high-entropy ceramics for broadband electromagnetic absorption
Mechanically locking enzymes in covalent organic frameworks via light-responsive nanohands for stable biocatalysis
Causal effects of wildfire PM2.5 on hospital costs and length of stay in Brazil
Sub1 contributes to heart failure with preserved ejection fraction driven by aging in mice
Bclaf1 drives heart failure by recruiting Srsf2 to enhance Hand2 pre-mRNA splicing and pathological hypertrophy
Structural insights into the MLH1–FAN1 interaction reveal an uncharacterized binding interface on MLH1
Abstract Huntington’s disease is driven by CAG repeat expansion in the mutant huntingtin gene. Nuclease FAN1 and mismatch repair protein MLH1 regulate repeat expansion through direct...
Endosteal integrin-α8⁺ mesenchymal stem cells maintain haematopoietic stem cell function via extracellular matrix-mediated interactions
Abstract The stem cell niche is a specialised microenvironment essential for maintaining haematopoietic stem cells (HSCs). Here we identify a distinct subset of mesenchymal stem cell...
Dipeptidyl peptidase 3 sets the threshold for immune activation and survival during experimental bacterial infection
Embodied cognition-driven interpretable trajectory prediction of autonomous systems
Abstract For autonomous systems to operate safely and reliably in dense traffic, they must perform trajectory prediction with human-like, interpretable reasoning. Prevailing data-dri...
Triangulating evidence for genetic and environmental components of associations between parental behaviours and aggressive behaviour in children
Abstract Parenting behaviours are often linked to childhood aggression, but many studies fail to account for shared genetics or test directionality. Using family-based designs, we co...
Statescope: an integrative deconvolution framework for discovering cell states in tumors
Abstract Accurate deconvolution of cell states from bulk tumor RNA-seq is hindered by heterogeneous malignant cells specifically in cancer applications. We present Statescope, a Baye...
Complementary roles of cell-type-specific plasticity in shaping neocortical dynamics for learning action timing
Design, synthesis and structural mechanism of action of TRPV1 agonist MSP20 with long-lasting analgesic effect
Modulating mechanisms of marine hydrodynamics on global coastal carbon burial
Large-scale discovery and annotation of substructure patterns in mass spectrometry profiles
Abstract Untargeted mass spectrometry can detect thousands of molecules at once, potentially offering powerful insights into complex samples. However, the increasing scale of experim...
Embryo quality control via lineage-specific aneuploid cell elimination in embryos and stem cell-derived embryo models
A virulent bacterial signature is associated with the development of recurrence following colorectal cancer surgery
Abstract The primary treatment for non-metastatic colorectal cancer is surgical resection. Despite the use of neoadjuvant and/or adjuvant chemoradiation, up to 30% of patients underg...
