An in vitro approach for simulating divergent Golgi O-glycosylation of tumor-associated MUC1 from normal MUC1
Newton’s cradle-like allosteric mechanism explains regulatory RsmE RNA binding
Abstract In the bacterial Csr/Rsm system, non-coding RNAs activate mRNA translation by removing homodimeric Csr/Rsm proteins from ribosome-binding sites of mRNAs...
Syntheses of 2,2’-dihalo-1,1’-binaphthyl compounds via palladium-catalysed 1,2-halo shift–cyclisation coupling reaction of α-hydroxyl haloalkynes
Genetic determinants of fatigue up to 2 years after radiotherapy in prostate cancer patients
Abstract Fatigue is a common symptom of cancer patients, which can impair quality of life even years after treatment. Little is known about genetic determinants...
Host insulin hijacking by a nematode receptor mediates developmental plasticity and sex ratio shifts
Heavy-atom functionalization promotes triplet-assisted charge-transfer exciton transport in organic cocrystals
Abstract Charge-transfer (CT) states with long transport distance are highly desirable for boosting the performance of organic optoelectronic devices. Although micron-scale CT transp...
Phosphorylation of rhizobial effector NopZ by soybean NORK promotes association with NENA and enhances nodulation
Highly mutagenic copying of telomeric circles promotes ALT establishment
Released palmitic acid–mediated TLR4/NF-κB activation enhances the virulence of Bordetella pertussis MT28 lineage
Engineered local polarization disorder unlocks record efficiency in antiferroelectric capacitors
Quinone-mediated, tissue-adaptive double-network hydrogel for instant hemostasis and wet-tissue adhesion
Abstract Rapid control of bleeding in complex wounds remains a major clinical challenge. Here, we develop a tissue-adaptive double-network hydrogel that enables instant adhesion to w...
Stronger jet, weaker storms: a mechanistic perspective on the Atlantic-Pacific storm paradox
Integrating theory and machine learning to reveal determinants of plasmid copy number
Abstract Plasmids are extrachromosomal mobile genetic elements whose copy numbers (PCNs) critically influence microbial evolution, antibiotic resistance and pathogenicity. Despite th...
Leveraging cell-type specificity and similarity improves single-cell eQTL fine-mapping
Enhanced strain gradient in structural wood for high flexoelectricity
A rice ceRNA module suppresses Rhizoctonia solani–induced cross-kingdom RNAi to reduce fungal pathogenicity
Emergence of large-scale patterns in soft quasicrystals
Abstract We report the experimental observations of large-scale pattern formation in soft quasicrystals activated by mechanical loading. The soft material system utilizes localized t...
Distributed wavefront shaping in radiative near-field sub-terahertz wireless networks
The GFI1–FOXO1 axis regulates NK cell maturation and function
Abstract Natural killer cells defend against malignancies and viral infections through a tightly controlled program of differentiation and maturation. However, the transcriptional me...
CK2 inhibition suppresses glial inflammation in models of neuroinflammation and neurodegeneration
Suppressing acoustomigration and temperature rise for high-power robust acoustics
Abstract High-frequency acoustic wave transducers, favored for their compact size, are not only dominating mobile handsets but are also expanding into various in...
