Structureless excitation and manipulation of dynamic holographic plasmonic slides
Tuning aromatic cage occupancy in prenyltransferases enables selective and efficient production of rare c-prenylated flavonoids
Coronaviruses reprogram the tRNA epitranscriptome to favor viral protein expression
Abstract Coronaviruses genomes are enriched in suboptimal A- and U-ending codons, which are typically associated with reduced translation efficiency due to limit...
Polymer matrix drives thermal stimulation-caused dynamic phosphorescence in dispersed chromophores
The effects of a second pregnancy on women’s brain structure and function
Abstract While we have previously shown that a first pregnancy changes women’s brain structure and resting-state brain activity, it is currently unknown how a woman’s brain is transf...
Emergent reactance induced by the deformation of a current-driven skyrmion lattice
Abstract Classical electromagnetism forms the foundation of modern technology. In condensed matter systems, the Berry phase acquired by conduction electrons acts as an emergent elect...
Pyrimidinergic calcium signaling links tubular metabolism to fibrosis in kidney disease
Accelerating hybrid XOR–CNF Boolean satisfiability problems natively with in-memory computing
Abstract The Boolean satisfiability (SAT) problem is a computationally challenging decision problem central to many industrial applications. For SAT problems in cryptanalysis, circui...
Preclinical and clinical obesity: prevalence, associations to cardiometabolic risk and response to lifestyle intervention in NHANES and the EPIC-Potsdam and TULIP studies
Abstract An expert commission (The Lancet Diabetes & Endocrinology Commission on Clinical Obesity) proposed novel diagnostic criteria distinguishing between preclinical and clini...
Graphene oxide synthesis at a nonthermal plasma-water interface
Ultralight soft electrostatic actuators based on solid-liquid-gas architectures
Abstract Soft actuators enable versatile and adaptable robots capable of operating in unstructured environments and close to humans. Soft electrostatic actuators...
Deviation in development of dorsal association tracts during preadolescence links to concurrent and future cognitive performance and transdiagnostic psychopathology
Abstract Many psychiatric disorders begin during adolescence, coinciding with the rapid development of brain white matter (WM). However, it remains unclear whether deviations from no...
Sex-specific differences in mediobasal hypothalamus in response to nutritional states
Allosteric and energetic remodeling of a PDZ domain by protein domain extensions
Modelling global trade with optimal transport
Abstract Global trade is shaped by a complex mix of factors beyond supply and demand, including tangible variables like transport costs and tariffs, as well as less quantifiable infl...
Topology optimization of thermoelectric generator for maximum power efficiency
Multi-lineage hepatic organoids reveal toxic exosome mediated indirect hepatotoxicity
An intrinsically disordered region mediates RNA-binding selectivity and cellular activities of LARP6
Abstract Intrinsically disordered regions (IDRs) are prevalent in RNA-binding proteins (RBPs), yet their roles in RNA interactions remain poorly defined. We examined RNA-binding regu...
FATE-MAP predicts teratogenicity and human gastrulation failure modes by integrating deep learning and mechanistic modeling
Abstract Gastrulation, a critical developmental stage involving germ layer specification and axes formation, is a major point of failure in human development, contributing to pregnan...
Baloxavir outperforms oseltamivir, favipiravir, and amantadine in treating lethal influenza A(H5N1) HA clade 2.3.4.4b infection in mice
PAN2 maintains mRNA poly(A) tail homeostasis and regulates translation during spermiogenesis in mice
Toward traceable global systems for end-of-life photovoltaic waste
Scalable semitransparent organic solar cells with robust film thickness tolerance for building-integrated photovoltaics
Abstract Building-integrated photovoltaics (BIPVs) is a promising application for semitransparent organic solar cells (ST-OSCs). However, conventional ultra-thin...
Extending the range of graph neural networks with global encodings
Abstract Graph Neural Networks (GNNs) are routinely used in molecular physics, social sciences, and economics to model many-body interactions in graph-like systems. However, GNNs are...
Thermal imaging using sulfur polymer optics
Abstract Infrared thermal imaging is used in defence, security cameras, fire detection, planetary science, driver assist capabilities, medical thermography, and other safety applicat...
