An H3K14ub-H3K9me3 feedback circuit governs heterochromatin spreading and inheritance in fission yeast
Abstract Heterochromatin is a bistable chromatin state essential for genome stability and gene regulation. Its spreading and inheritance have long been explained by a “read-write” cy...
TCL1A mediates DNA methylation defects in recurrent hydatidiform mole with NLRP7 pathogenic variants
Segmented filamentous bacteria are worldwide human gut commensals
Abstract Segmented filamentous bacteria (SFB) describe morphologically similar gut commensals found in mammals, fish and birds. In mice, SFB intimately colonizes the ileal epithelium...
TCF21 promotes epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition and cytoskeleton reorganization in uterine development and endometriosis
The eco-evolutionary assembly of complex communities with multiple interaction types
Abstract Identifying the mechanisms that generate structure in complex ecological communities is fundamental for understanding their assembly. Yet a comprehensive picture of how ecol...
Tailoring the glassy phase in polymer semiconductors tunes their optical properties
Post-catalysis structures of mitochondrial complex I with ubiquinol-10 bound in the active site
Abstract Respiratory complex I is a multi-subunit energy-transducing membrane enzyme essential for mitochondrial and cellular energy metabolism. It couples NADH...
Revealing intrinsic 3D spin angular momentum of evanescent acoustic phonons on a single-crystal surface using ultrafast optoacoustics
Clusters of vascular aging manifestations predict incident cardiovascular events in the community
Linker histones consolidate heterogenous nucleosome fiber contacts by linking together multiple nucleosomes
Abstract The consensus mode for linker histone (H1) association coincides with ‘on-dyad’ binding to an individual nucleosome, making it challenging to rationalize the chromatin dynam...
Pathways to global hydrogen production within planetary boundaries
Bioinspired nanofluidic iontronic device with integrated photoreceptor and photosynaptic functions
Adaptations in Plasmodium tubulin determine distinct microtubule architectures, mechanics and drug susceptibility
Abstract Microtubules are ubiquitous yet diverse cytoskeleton filaments. However, tubulin conservation presents challenges in understanding the origins of divers...
Ternary solvation sheath reconfiguration drives sustainable cryogenic Li||Cl2 batteries
Oceanic upper crustal accretion by melt sill and lava flow interaction at Axial volcano
Abstract Magmatically-accreted upper crust along mid-ocean ridges is traditionally considered to consist of lava flows overlying a sheeted-dyke complex. However, how the upper crust...
Molecular basis for the inhibition of de novo DNA methylation by TCL1A
Tough hydrogels enabled by transient entanglements
Re-entrant unconventional superconductivity induced by rare-earth substitution in Nd1-xEuxNiO2 thin films
Multicomponent solid-solution alloy negative electrode for Li-metal batteries
Altering the carbohydrate-binding specificity of the legume lectin FRIL through structure-guided engineering
FeCu dual-single-atom catalyst promotes gradient H2O2 activation for enhanced methane oxidation to methanol
Abstract Hydrogen peroxide is an attractive and sustainable oxidant, yet its effective application in inert alkane oxidation is limited by the inability to preci...
Vibronically assisted sub-cycle charge transfer at a non-fullerene acceptor heterojunction
Abstract Excited-state charge transfer underpins organic photovoltaics, photocatalysis and photodetection, but is traditionally thought to require large energy offsets and strong don...
Martian ionospheric response during the May 2024 solar superstorm
Abstract Solar energetic events can have considerable effects on planetary ionospheres. However, the erratic nature of these solar energetic events make observations difficult. Here...
