Transport and inhibition mechanisms of human glycine transporter 2
SARS-CoV-2 vaccination and infection elicit cross-neutralizing responses against clade 3 and 4 sarbecoviruses
Abstract Two sarbecoviruses, SARS-CoV-1 and SARS-CoV-2 that engage ACE2 through their receptor-binding domains, have caused major human outbreaks. The pandemic potential of sarbecovi...
The olivine-ringwoodite transformation triggers deep slab seismicity and rheological weakening
Abstract The subducting cold oceanic plates (slabs) exhibit two paradoxical deformation behaviors: deep seismicity and rheological weakening within the mantle tr...
High-strength liquid metal composite–hydrogel interfaces enable robust stretchable electronics
Violation of detailed balance in non-equilibrium magnons observed by inelastic neutron scattering
Abstract Traditional inelastic neutron scattering (INS) characterizes excitations—such as phonons and magnons—in condensed matter systems at thermodynamic equili...
Cryo-EM structure of the SRI-HtrI complex reveals the cytoplasmic coupling in an archaeal phototaxis system
The genomic impact of population connectivity and decline in Africa’s elephants
Abstract African elephants are keystone species facing severe declines due to the ivory trade and habitat loss. To investigate the genomic consequences, we analy...
Filaments of light dynamically isolate a single attosecond pulse
Publisher Correction: A “paradox of progress” shapes the social determinants of infectious diseases in Vietnam, 1975–2025
A microbiome catalog of Chinese traditional artisanal cheeses provides insights into functional and microbial diversity
CD4+ T cell protection against murine Salmonella infection is female-specific and estrogen-dependent
Filamentation-assisted isolated attosecond pulse generation
Uncovering complex phonon interactions in Mg3Bi2-xSbx: topology and avoided crossings
Light-induced giant random telegraph noise in CuScP2S6/MoS2 heterostructures and their use in noise resilience image inference
Abstract Random telegraph noise (RTN) is usually regarded as a hallmark of nanoscale conduction channels, arising from individual trapping events in semiconducto...
PsAvh109 suppresses SA-triggered immunity by mimicking TPL function to disrupt mediator complex assembly
ATP synthase is a promising target for identifying activated and non-activated adipose tissues
Abstract Adipose tissue has gained increasing attention as a therapeutic target to combat human obesity and related metabolic disorders. We propose ATP synthase...
Remodeling synaptic connections via engineered neuron-astrocyte interactions
Abstract Information flow through synapses in the central nervous system is regulated by both rapid electrochemical activity and slower structural remodeling. While technological adv...
Chemical controls on iron distributions across the subsurface South Pacific Ocean
Abstract Iron and nitrogen are the primary nutrients that limit productivity in the ocean. While nitrogen cycling is largely controlled by biology, iron cycling is strongly determine...
SUMO E3 ligase SIZ1 promotes nuclear condensate-mediated immune activation in Arabidopsis
Abstract SIZ1, a major plant SUMO E3 ligase, has diverse roles in development and immunity. Although loss-of-function phenotypes have categorized SIZ1 as a negative immune regulator,...
Asymmetric dimeric assembly of Suv3 helicase facilitates processive RNA unwinding
Histone diversity in the archaeal domain of life
Abstract Two-thirds of all archaea encode histones, proteins that are ubiquitously used to structure chromatin in eukaryotes. Archaeal histone sequences are less conserved than their...
Decoding immunotherapy response through computational modeling
Photothermal superhydrophobic and corrosion resistant titania microstructured surface for ice prevention and removal
Probing universal phase diagram of dimensional crossover with an atomic quantum simulator
Encoding of speech modes and loudness in ventral precentral gyrus
Abstract The ability to vary the mode and loudness of speech is an important part of the expressive range of human vocal communication. However, the encoding of these behaviors in th...
