Ecological and genomic signatures of the convergent evolution of planktivory in fossil and living reef fishes over deep time
Abstract Transitions from benthic to pelagic habitats often coincide with shifts in diet, yet the genomic basis and macroevolutionary dynamics of these changes remain poorly understo...
Blood multiomics reveal a dysregulated lipid mediator-mitochondrial network associated with the outcome of advanced cirrhosis
Four-dimensional reconfigurable vascular tunneling machine of spatially programmed liquid crystal elastomers
An integrative approach for studying immunological variation in an aging population – The Milieu Intérieur follow-up study
Abstract Human immune responses vary across individuals due to both genetic and environmental factors. We previously established the Milieu Intérieur cohort to d...
Approaching-unity PLQY and high stretchability in polymer emitters via molecular spacers
N-Orbit: towards a universal model and metric for comparing tissue microenvironments
Abstract Spatial omics technologies facilitate comprehensive exploration of tissue microenvironments across development and disease. Yet a theoretical framework for modeling and comp...
Near-infrared fluorescence imaging-guided surgery using cRGD-ZW800 to improve surgical resection margins in oral cancer: a phase I/II feasibility trial
Abstract In oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) surgery, inadequate tumor margins are reported in up to 85% of cases, adversely affecting outcomes. In this prospective, single-center...
Separable and integrated pleasantness coding for appetitive and aversive odors across olfactory and ventral prefrontal cortices
Abstract Odor pleasantness is a key driver of approach and avoidance behaviors, raising the question of how pleasantness is represented in olfactory brain areas. To address this ques...
Angle-based fluorescence thermometry with high sensitivity and high resolution
Abstract Fluorescence-based thermometry offers non-contact, high-resolution temperature sensing, yet current methods face challenges in simultaneously achieving high sensitivity, sta...
Harnessing the potential of γδ T cells through engineering and combination treatment for cancer therapies
Intracellular potassium levels orchestrate circadian rhythmicity and cell division
Abstract Circadian (~24 h) rhythms are a fundamental feature of life, and their disruption increases the risk of infectious diseases, metabolic disorders, and cancer. We previously i...
TRIM21 facilitates inflammasome assembly and contributes to autoinflammatory disease
Abstract Inflammasomes are cytosolic multiprotein complexes facilitating the maturation and release of the inflammatory cytokines interleukin (IL)−1β and IL-18 and pyroptosis. ASC (a...
Thermal transport through molecular monolayers in plasmonic nanogaps
Abstract Thermal transport through molecules has been exceptionally difficult to measure robustly. This is despite many intriguing theoretical predictions such as thermal diodes or g...
Temporal changes in surface tension guide microtubule organization and accurate asymmetric division of Arabidopsis zygotes
A transparent PVA-based polymer sunscreen protects retinal tissue from ultraviolet damage
Channelized lithospheric erosion shapes the western North American craton margin
Genetic variants affect diurnal glucose levels throughout the day
Abstract Circadian rhythms not only coordinate the timing of wake and sleep but also regulate homeostasis within the body, including glucose metabolism. The gene...
Reentrant Landau levels in a Dirac topological insulator
Light- and chemical-induced ciliary signaling governs dorsal/ventral regionalization of human telencephalic organoids
Abstract Neural stem/progenitor cells (NPCs) have primary cilia, which are critical organelles for Sonic hedgehog signaling. However, little is known about the c...
Hydrazine-mediated carbonyl–alkyne/allene reductive olefination
Neighbouring group participation hindered by force as a molecular design for covalent catch bonds
Abstract Catch bonds—dynamic molecular interactions whose lifetimes increase under mechanical load—are central to biological mechanotransduction but remain challenging to replicate s...
Oxygen-induced multimodal ultramicroporous structure in 10-nm-thick carbon membranes for enhanced hydrogen separation
Abstract Carbon membranes yielding high selectivity as well as high permeance are attractive to advance the membrane-based gas separation. Herein, we report ultr...
