Spatial control of curing kinetics in thiol-ene-systems through antagonistic photoreactions
Episomal and integrated hepatitis B transcriptome mapping uncovers heterogeneity with the potential for drug-resistance
Abstract Hepatitis B virus (HBV) is a small DNA virus that establishes chronic infection and drives progressive liver disease and cancer; presenting a global health problem with more than 25...
Versatile polymer-coated Ag2Se thermoelectric materials and devices for multi-scenario applications developed by direct-ink printing
DNA2 and MSH2 cooperatively repair stabilized G4 and allow efficient telomere replication
Abstract G-quadruplexes (G4s) are widely existing stable DNA secondary structures in mammalian cells. A long-standing hypothesis is that timely resolution of G4s is needed for efficient and...
Recombination of localized quasiparticles in disordered superconductors
Inverted shear-strain magnetoelastic coupling at the Fe/BaTiO3 interface from polarised x-ray imaging
Abstract The elastic degree of freedom is widely exploited to mediate magnetoelectric coupling between ferromagnetic films and ferroelectric substrates. For epitaxial Fe films grown on clean...
A protein-proximity screen reveals Ebola virus co-opts the mRNA decapping complex through the scaffold protein EDC4
Abstract The interaction of host and Ebola virus (EBOV) proteins is required for establishing infection. In this study, we use proximity-dependent biotinylation to identify cellular...
Gustatory thalamic neurons mediate aversive behaviors
Abstract The parvicellular part of the ventral posteromedial nucleus (VPMpc) of the thalamus, also known as the gustatory thalamus, receives input from the parabrachial nucleus and relays ta...
Non-canonical resource allocation in heterotrophically growing Thermoanaerobacter kivui
In-situ detection of pH and dissolved oxygen in electrolyte of aqueous zinc-ion batteries
Persistent homology elucidates hierarchical structures responsible for mechanical properties in covalent amorphous solids
Abstract Understanding how atomic-level structures govern the mechanical properties of amorphous materials remains a fundamental challenge in solid-state physics. Under mechanical loading, a...
Chirality-driven spin dynamics and manipulation in all-inorganic chiral heterostructures
MRAP2 modifies the signaling and oligomerization state of the melanocortin-4 receptor
Abstract The melanocortin-4 receptor is a G protein-coupled receptor and a key regulator of appetite and metabolism. It can interact with the melanocortin-receptor accessory protein 2, a sin...
Secondary grain boundary dislocations alter segregation energy spectra
Abstract Grain boundaries (GBs) trigger structure-specific chemical segregation of solute atoms. According to the three-dimensional (3D) topology of grains, GBs - although defined as two-dim...
Apoptotic bodies in phytoplankton suggest evolutionary conservation of cell death mechanisms
Abstract Programmed Cell Death (PCD) in eukaryotes is a regulated process occurring during development, cell differentiation and aging. Apoptosis is a particularly well studied morphotype of...
CurT/CURT1 proteins are involved in cell and chloroplast division coordination of cyanobacteria and green algae
Abstract Plant proteins of the CURVATURE THYLAKOID 1 (CURT1) family and their prokaryotic CurT homologues are key determinants of the three-dimensional structure of the thylakoid membrane sy...
Conformal integration of multifunctional nanomembranes on fibers towards intelligent optical platform
Structural basis for ligand promiscuity and high signaling activity of Kaposi’s Sarcoma-associated Herpesvirus-encoded GPCR
Abstract Kaposi’s Sarcoma-associated Herpesvirus encodes ORF74, a viral G protein-coupled receptor homologous to CXCR2, which plays a crucial role in Kaposi’s Sarcoma development through its...
An ultrafast diamond nonlinear photonic sensor
Abstract The integration of light and materials technology is key to the creation of innovative sensing technologies. Sensing of electric and magnetic fields, and temperature with high spati...
Development of clinical immunity to Plasmodium vivax following repeat controlled human malaria infection
Abstract Clinical immunity to malaria can lead to asymptomatic infection, but the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. To examine the development of clinical immunity, we conducted a multi-...
Macrophage-derived amphiregulin induces myofibroblast transition in adipogenic lineage precursors near Staphylococcus aureus abscess in bone marrow
Neurodevelopmental commonalities in cognitive control networks for mathematics and reading in meta-analysis of 3308 participants
Facilitating analysis and dissemination of proteomics data through metadata integration in MaxQuant
Abstract Metadata plays an essential role in the analysis and dissemination of proteomics data. It annotates sample information for output tables from library searches and displays sample in...
Super-silencers are crucial for development and carcinogenesis in B cells
Abstract The strength of the repressive histone H3K27me3 signal varies across silencers. Focusing on regions with unusually strong signals—super-silencers—we show that B-cell super-silencers...
