Fluorescence-based mapping of condensate dielectric permittivity uncovers hydrophobicity-driven membrane interactions
Abstract Biomolecular condensates, essential for cellular organization, possess mesoscale properties largely governed by hydrophobicity, influencing molecule partitioning and materia...
Developing a novel index for neighborhood social determinants of cardiovascular diseases in the CARDIA study
Sulfatase modifying factors control the timing of zebrafish convergence and extension morphogenesis
Abstract Convergence and extension (C&E) cell movements that elongate the primary embryonic axis are precisely timed during vertebrate gastrulation, but mech...
High-mobility inertial domain walls driven by spin-transfer torque in a ferrimagnetic spinel oxide
Abstract Efficient electrical manipulation of domain walls is key to developing magnetic devices with fast switching capabilities and low energy consumption. Her...
Understanding and modelling ammonia partitioning and transport across reverse osmosis membrane
Experimental Sodalis infection eliminates ancient insect symbiont
Abstract Many insects benefit from ancient nutrient-supplementing endosymbionts. While symbiont losses and replacements occur on evolutionary timescales, their d...
Accelerated directional growth of seaweed-like iron oxide branches driven by localized electric fields of gold nanoparticles in liquid
A biomimetic nanodisc system selectively activates type I interferons by nonclassical STING pathway for cancer immunotherapy
Decoupling simultaneous motor imagination and execution via orthogonal ECoG neural representations
Revealing abrupt transitions from goal-directed to habitual behavior
A prefrontal cortex-lateral hypothalamus circuit controls stress-driven increased food intake
Abstract Stress can drive overconsumption of high-fat foods. The medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC) is implicated in such stress-eating, but the underlying circuit...
Future scenarios for British biodiversity under climate and land-use change
Abstract Projections of biodiversity futures are needed to translate global policies into national action. We use dissimilarity modelling to project climate change scenarios for 1002...
Archaeal and eukaryotic MCM rings sequentially melt DNA for replication initiation
Abstract DNA replication initiation requires local melting of fully base-paired DNA for a helicase to gain a foothold and initiate processive DNA unwinding. In eukaryotes and archaea...
Disentangling the Janus-faced effects of cations in electrocatalysis
Abstract Cation identity and concentration strongly influence electrocatalytic processes, yet their effects remain insufficiently understood. Taking hydrogen evo...
The landscape and regulatory potential of eccDNAs in mammalian preimplantation embryos
Ultrahigh energy-storage in lead-free ceramic capacitors via local structure design
Iontronic click-to-release enables electrically controlled delivery of drugs and biomolecules beyond charge and size limitations
Abstract Dynamic and programmable control of therapeutic delivery is a long-standing goal in medicine. Iontronic devices offer precise electronic control over th...
A myoneural actuator with engineered biophysics for implantable biohybrid systems
In-fibre logic and memory via tuneable passivation–corrosion
Abstract Textile electronics with digital capabilities could sense, process, and store data, while providing immersive interaction with user and their immediate surroundings. However...
Natural photosynthetic system for restoring homeostasis of animal organelle interaction network
The ecological and developmental foundations of brood parasitism in a catfish
Abstract Interspecific brood parasitism has evolved repeatedly from parental care. However, many non-avian brood-parasitic lineages have ancestors lacking parent...
Preventing peritendinous adhesions using lubricious supramolecular hydrogels
Many small climate change impacts presage rapid population extinction in a common iconic bird
Induction and regulation of reversible suspended animation in C. elegans
Abstract Suspended animation, a state of profound metabolic, behavioral and developmental quiescence, is a remarkable yet poorly understood stress resilience str...
