Nonlinear reversal of photoexcitation on the attosecond time scale improves ultrafast X-ray diffraction images
Abstract The complex refractive index of a material governs its light-matter interactions, with intense light fields enabling tailored nonlinear optical responses. In the X-ray regim...
Apparatus for quantum-mixture research in microgravity
Abstract Experiments with ultracold quantum gases are a rapidly advancing research field with many applications in fundamental physics and quantum technology. He...
The genetics of fibromyalgia and its relationships to psychiatric and medical traits
Abstract We explore the genetic mechanisms underlying fibromyalgia, a chronic heritable syndrome. We conduct genome-wide association studies (GWAS) of fibromyalg...
Coastal flooding at predictable hours
Function-specific epistasis shapes evolutionary trajectories towards antibiotic resistance
Abstract Pre-existing mutations can influence subsequent evolution by constraining or opening evolutionary pathways through epistatic interactions. In some cases...
Insights into the mechanisms of NH3 inhibition on Cu-CHA SCR catalysts
Abstract Ammonia (NH 3 ) inhibition during the selective catalytic reduction (SCR) of nitrogen oxides (NO...
The accumulation of methylglyoxal and acrolein impairs arginine homeostasis causing hyperglycemia and renal abnormalities in male zebrafish
Abstract Reactive carbonyl species contribute to diabetes and its complications, but how the interconnections of carbonyl-detoxifying enzymes regulate metabolic homeostasis through a...
High-resolution chromatin mapping reveals that CTCF anchors meiotic loops to the chromosome axis
Abstract When precursor germ cells enter meiosis, chromosomes condense into an array of chromatin loops. Using Hi-C and Micro-C, we explored the trajectory of chromatin reorganizatio...
Photonic scaffolds as ultrahigh-openness on-chip hollow-core waveguides for quantum photonics and optofluidics
Abstract On-chip hollow-core waveguides enable strong light-matter interaction in gases and liquids with high integration density, yet limited side access to the core restricts their...
Fractionated proteomics identifies a protein network mitigating resistance exercise-induced damage in human skeletal muscle
Abstract Resistance exercise (RE) improves strength and muscle mass, with multiple benefits for human health. However, intense RE also induces acute myofibrillar damage. The molecula...
Author Correction: Bacterial detoxification of plant defence secondary metabolites mediates the interaction between a shrub and frugivorous birds
Preparation method shapes the recovery and ecological interpretation of DNA and RNA soil viral communities
Abstract Deciphering viral ecology in soils is challenging due to soil’s high physicochemical and microbial community complexity. To enhance detection of DNA and RNA viruses, we appl...
Electrochemical upcycling of spent ITO via charge-induced deconstruction
Abstract Spent indium tin oxide (s-ITO, the mass ratio of In 2 O 3 to SnO...
Fungal diagnostics and antifungal drug access in Latin America and the Caribbean: an ESCMID EFISG multinational survey
Abstract Invasive fungal diseases (IFD) pose a major health challenge in Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC), particularly in vulnerable populations. A cross-s...
Table-top all-attosecond transient absorption spectroscopy
Abstract Attosecond transient absorption spectroscopy (ATAS) has emerged as a powerful technique within the field of attosecond science, combining extremely high...
Polarization contrast neutron imaging enables operando visualization of iron plating in redox flow batteries
Molecular velcro for precision genome repair
Machine learning reveals biocontrol agents shaping disease outcome in natural Arabidopsis populations
Abstract Plants recruit antagonistic microbes to defend against phytopathogens, offering a route to rational biocontrol beyond empirical screening. Here, using s...
Racial and ethnic disparities in the cause of death for clear cell renal cell carcinoma
Macrophage adenylyl cyclase 7 protects against myocardial ischemia/reperfusion injury in male mice
Competitive resource allocation drives asynchronous and rapid nuclear multiplication in the malaria parasite
Abstract The unicellular malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum proliferates within red blood cells of its human host, wh...
Cancer immunotherapy targeting murine myeloid cells requires endosomal pattern recognition
Abstract Immunotherapy is now an established and efficient treatment option for many cancer patients. However, a proportion of patients still experience poor outcomes due to treatmen...
Tritium separation from gaseous 1,2,3H isotopologue mixtures by selective adsorption on Ag-exchanged zeolite type Y
Abstract Efficient separation of hydrogen isotopologues is crucial for applications such as the recycling of exhaust streams in nuclear fusion reactors. We repor...
Obesity-driven microbial GABA depletion promotes metabolic rewiring and colorectal cancer progression
Design, structure-based optimization and antiviral evaluation of potent inhibitors for the macrodomain Mac1 of SARS-CoV-2
Abstract Enzymatically active macrodomains of (+)ss-RNA viruses mediate immune evasion by countering ADP-ribosylation and are therefore promising druggable targe...
