Investigating room temperature ferroelectric nematogens and their structure-property relationships
Abstract The recent discovery of proper ferroelectricity in low molar mass liquid crystals has made the quest for identifying materials which exhibit the phase t...
Social status and the relationship between income rank and well-being in 109 nations
Abstract Well-being is linked to income. However, lower well-being among lower-income individuals may reflect either economic relative deprivation or the lower social status associat...
Reducing methylation of histone 3.3 lysine 4 in the medial ganglionic eminence and hypothalamus recapitulates neurodevelopmental disorder phenotypes
Abstract Methylation of lysine 4 on histone H3 (H3K4) is enriched on active promoters and enhancers where it promotes gene activation. Disruption of H3K4 methylation is associated wi...
Plant traits explain variation in symbiotic nitrogen fixation responses to global nitrogen enrichment: a meta-analysis
Regulating perovskite crystallization kinetics at laser scribe lines for efficient and stable perovskite modules
Dual-role iron species in photoelectrocatalytic radical trifluoromethylation with trifluoroacetates
Abstract Trifluoromethylation remains a fundamental transformation in drug discovery, underpinning many top-selling pharmaceuticals. Emerging developments in iron ligand-to-metal cha...
Engineered Un1Cas12f1 for multiplex genome editing with enhanced activity and targeting scope
High-resolution X-ray imaging via spatially decoupled heavy-atom antennas in organic scintillators
Abstract Organic scintillators are promising for X-ray imaging due to low cost, sustainability, and tunable structures, but their commercial use is limited by poor understanding of c...
HIF sustain a transcriptional regulatory circuit of EPAS1 expression in renal clear cell carcinoma
Abstract Initiation and sustainment of oncogenic signaling is a hallmark of cancer evolution and progression. In renal clear cell carcinoma, loss of von Hippel-L...
From urban NPOs to rural knowledge networks: applying benefit-sharing models to African genomics research
Composite SMG5-SMG6 PIN domain formation is essential for NMD
Abstract Nonsense-mediated mRNA decay (NMD) relies on the coordinated assembly and action of multiple protein factors. Degradation of target mRNAs begins with endonucleolytic cleavag...
Vulnerability of short-term memory in a mouse model of Alzheimer’s disease
Abstract Interference from distracting stimuli renders short-term memory vulnerable. While behavioral evidence suggests short-term memory deficits in Alzheimer’s disease (AD), the un...
Emergent giant topological Hall effect in twisted Fe3GeTe2 metallic system
Iron-borane catalyzed carbonyl hydroboration and isolation of an iron(I)-ketyl radical
Abstract Hydroboration of carbonyl compounds has proven a pivotal route to access alcohols and other C1 moieties in recent years. Despite this, iron-based cataly...
From single-sequences to evolutionary trajectories: protein language models capture the evolutionary potential of SARS-CoV-2
Abstract Protein language models (PLMs) capture features of protein three-dimensional structure from amino acid sequences alone, without requiring multiple sequence alignments (MSA)....
Molecular insights into fungal inositol phosphorylceramide synthesis and its inhibition by antifungal aureobasidin A
Distinct genetic profiles influence body mass index between infancy and adolescence
Abstract Body mass index (BMI) changes throughout life with age-varying genetic contributions. We use a random regression model to investigate the genetic contribution to BMI traject...
Enhancing microbial metabolic capacity through high-energy electron beam-induced intense structural variations
Ambient synthesis of single-atom catalysts on catalytically active cells for chemoenzymatic cascades
Structural organization of HBV pgRNA genome driven by phase separation in capsid confinement
Abstract Viruses rely on the precise packaging of their genomes within a capsid to execute essential life-cycle events, yet the principles governing genome structural organization in...
Global warming drives an increase in pre-monsoon tropical cyclone activity over the North Indian Ocean
Electrochemical initiation and chemical reaction cascades in dual-stage thermal runaway in sulfide-based all-solid-state batteries
Voltage-controlled topological spin textures in the monolayer limit
Abstract The physics of phase transitions in low-dimensional systems has long been a subject of significant research interest. Long-range magnetic order in the s...
Mixed-matrix membranes with molecular recognition windows for selective helium extraction from natural gas
Abstract Mixed-matrix membranes (MMMs) with high chain packing density by incorporating soluble macrocycle compounds represent a promising class of materials for...
