Light tunes long-term threat avoidance behavior in male mice
Efficient pheromone navigation via antagonistic detectors in Caenorhabditis elegans male
Abstract Chemotaxis to a moving potential mate that emits a volatile sex pheromone poses a navigation challenge requiring rapid, precise responses to maximize re...
Topological protection by local support symmetry and destructive interference
Abstract Conventionally, symmetry-protected topological phases and band crossings are protected by global symmetries acting on the entire system. Here, we show t...
A neuron type-specific microexon in Ank3/ankyrin-G modulates calcium activity and neuronal excitability
RiboBright reveals cell-type-specific differences in ribosome organization and movement
Deciphering hippocampal place codes in weak theta rhythms
Abstract Local field potentials (LFPs) reflect coordination among neural populations, yet their exact relationship to neural computation remains unknown. One exception is the theta r...
Smooth doubly curved origami shells with reprogrammable rigidity
Abstract Origami tessellations can transform flat sheets into curved yet inherently compliant surfaces that only approximate curvature and are unable to reconcile a fundamental trade...
MG53 mediates skeletal muscle-liver cross-talk and enhances alcohol metabolism in alcoholic liver disease
A synthetic cell with integrated DNA self-replication and lipid biosynthesis
Abstract The emergence, organization, and persistence of cellular life are the result of the functional integration of metabolic and genetic networks. Here, we engineer phospholipid...
eQTL in diseased colon tissue identifies potential target genes associated with IBD
Precise synthesis of π-conjugated [3]catenanes and Solomon link for photothermal responses via a dual-tuning strategy
Lack of MDA5 delays hematopoietic aging by modulating inflammaging and proteostasis in mice
Abstract “Inflammaging”, the chronic increase in inflammatory signaling with age, remains poorly understood in hematopoietic aging. Here, we identify the innate...
Kilowatt-scale alkali-cation-free CO2 electrolysis via accelerating mass transfer
The redox driven Na+-pumping mechanism in Vibrio cholerae NADH-quinone oxidoreductase relies on dynamic conformational changes
Unconventional spin-intertwined charge density wave in magnetic phases of kagome metal GdTi3Bi4
Magnon squeezing in the quantum regime
Dielectrocapillarity for exquisite control of fluids
Abstract Spatially varying electric fields are prevalent throughout nature, such as in nanoporous materials and biological membranes, and technology, e.g, patterned electrodes and va...
Wildfires on a changing planet
Abstract The distribution of wildfires on Earth will change as climate, land-use, and vegetation change. We use global empirical models of burnt area, fire size...
Hydroclimate shapes photosynthetic sensitivity to cloud cover across global terrestrial ecosystems
Abstract Vegetation photosynthesis primarily depends on surface energy and water availability, both of which are simultaneously regulated by clouds through radiation and precipitatio...
PRICE: direct and robust detection of microRNAs at single-nucleotide resolution
Abstract Accurate single-nucleotide discrimination of miRNA is clinically vital because small sequence variations can have significant phenotypic and clinical co...
Development of a potent monoclonal antibody for treatment of human metapneumovirus infections
Abstract Human metapneumovirus (HMPV) is a major cause of respiratory infections, particularly among vulnerable populations, yet effective therapeutics remain unavailable. Monoclonal...
Photoacoustic computed tomography monitors cerebrospinal fluid dynamics and glymphatic function
Abstract Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) continuously circulates through the brain and surrounding tissues to remove metabolic waste, a process that becomes less efficient with ageing and...
Human iPSC-based Modeling of Pulmonary Fibrosis Reveals p300/CBP Inhibition Suppresses Alveolar Transitional Cell State
Abstract Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is characterized by progressive scarring of lung tissue with an urgent need for effective treatments. Studies have shown that the alveola...
Digitaria genome analyses indicate introgression may drive local adaptation and herbicide resistance
Morphodynamics of surface-attached active drops
Abstract Many biological and synthetic systems are suspensions of oriented actively-moving components. Unlike in passive suspensions, the interplay between orientational order, activ...
