Population expansion of early Upper Palaeolithic hunter-gatherers triggered cultural complexity on Paleo-Honshu Island, Japan
Repetitive neuronal activation regulates cellular maturation state via nuclear reprogramming
Abstract Neural stimulation, such as electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) and repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS), is highly effective clinical interv...
Embryonic and postnatal macrophages are necessary for proper tooth development and homeostasis
Abstract The role of macrophages in teeth, beyond their function in innate immunity, remains unexplored. This study demonstrates that macrophages populate dental...
Multiomic profiling links L1 retrotransposition to genomic instability and ecDNA in bladder cancer
Abstract Bladder cancer is frequent and highly recurrent. Despite recent advances, knowledge gaps remain in molecular mechanisms underlying disease progression....
Episodic planetesimal disruptions triggered by dissipation of gas disk
Author Correction: Molecular mechanisms of receptor recognition and antibody neutralization of coxsackievirus A6
Interactively addressable organic metadevices
Abstract Active, pixel-level addressability is central to the realization of metadevices with programmable wavefront control. However, two-dimensional operation at visible wavelength...
Chiral packings in cylinders are ultrasensitive to confinement deformation
Abstract Sphere packings in circular cylinders have attracted substantial research interest, among which the discovery of chiral helical structures is the most iconic. However, recen...
Diversity and distinctive characteristics of the global RNA virome in urban and peri-urban environments
Topographically organized dorsal raphe activity modulates forebrain sensory-motor representations and contributes to defensive behaviors
Abstract The dorsal raphe nucleus (DRN) shapes behaviors including mood and motivation. The DRN contains molecularly distinct and topographically organized neurons that target specif...
Alginate foraging is conserved in geographically and taxonomically distinct ruminant microbiomes
Abstract Seaweed plays a crucial role in carbon cycling and is expected to be a valuable resource for sustainable biomass, with applications in biofuel productio...
The unfolded protein sensor IRE1 is essential for homeostatic dendritic cell maturation
Structural and spectral adaptation of the seagrass Posidonia oceanica photosystem I to seabed light
Coastal groundwater phosphorus drives global acceleration of algal blooms
Abstract Coastal algal blooms (CABs) are accelerating worldwide. This intensification is particularly puzzling in regions where nitrogen inputs have been curbed, yet blooms persist o...
Permafrost carbon release scales linearly with overshoot warming mediated by AMOC tipping
Saxiphilin functions as a toxin sponge protein that counteracts the effects of saxitoxin poisoning
Abstract Saxitoxin (STX) is among the most potent toxins known, is classified as a chemical weapon, and is the archetype of the paralytic shellfish toxin (PST) f...
PeptiVerse: A unified platform for therapeutic peptide property prediction
Heterogenous microglial reactivity contrasts with stable vascular transcriptional programs in mouse models of Alzheimer’s, CADASIL, and Traumatic Brain Injury
Abstract The extent to which the cerebrovasculature is affected in various brain disorders is still not well understood. To address this, we established a transcriptomic repository o...
Inhibited radiative decay enhances single-photon emitters
Abstract Quantum networks and modular quantum computers require efficient spin-photon interfaces, often realized using optical resonators that enhance radiative decay on a desired tr...
Impact of crystal symmetry lowering on proton tunneling
Novel polymyxin resistance gene family mcr-12 from environmental Pigmentiphaga litoralis
Abstract The emergence of mobile colistin resistance ( mcr ) genes threatens the efficacy of polymyxins as last-resort an...
Oncogene inactivation-induced senescence facilitates tumor relapse
Abstract Oncogene-directed therapies can induce profound tumor regression in oncogene-addicted cancers, but their long-term benefit is often limited by resistanc...
Sea level rise and fall north of Greenland reorganize Arctic freshwater export to North Atlantic
Abstract Arctic freshwater is exported to the North Atlantic through Fram Strait and the Canadian Arctic Archipelago, and its partitioning influences subpolar ocean stratification. H...
Genetic ancestry and monogenic disease risk in the Scottish Traveller founder population
Abstract The Scottish Travellers are a traditionally nomadic community in Scotland that has historically been marginalised, and remained socially isolated from the settled Scottish p...
