Ultralow energy adaptive neuromorphic computing using reconfigurable zinc phosphorus trisulfide memristors
OsBZR4 regulates temperature-dependent embryogenesis in rice
Single-cell transcriptomics of ventral forebrain progenitors identifies Evf2 enhancer lncRNA-enhancer gene guidance through direct RNA binding and RNP recruitment domains
Concavity-enhanced chiral self-assembly of anisotropic nanoparticles toward strong chiroptical activity
Integrated multiomics of pressure overload in the human heart prioritizes targets relevant to heart failure
Abstract Pressure overload initiates a series of alterations in the human heart that predate macroscopic organ-level remodeling and downstream heart failure. We study aortic stenosis through...
Dual-bond fracture metamaterials with full-field extrinsic toughening
Somites are a source of nephron progenitors in zebrafish
Abstract For over a century it has been believed that the vertebrate kidney arises exclusively from the intermediate mesoderm. Here, we overturn this paradigm by demonstrating that s...
Oceanic memory of tropical cyclones moderates the Kuroshio current
Abstract Tropical cyclones (TCs) dramatically disturb the upper ocean and leave subsurface temperature anomalies that persist beyond their lifetimes, representing an oceanic “memory” of TC a...
PIEZO1 drives trophoblast fusion and placental development
Melbournevirus encodes a shorter H2B-H2A doublet histone variant that forms structurally distinct nucleosome structures
Abstract Unique among viruses, some giant viruses utilize histones to organize their genomes into nucleosomes. Melbournevirus encodes a distinct H2B-H2A histone...
Enhancing tandem mass spectrometry-based metabolite annotation with online chemical labeling
Abstract Metabolite identification in non-targeted mass spectrometry-based metabolomics remains a major challenge due to limited spectral library coverage and difficulties in predicting meta...
Flower dependent trafficking of lamellar bodies facilitates maturation of the epidermal barrier
Programming of refractive functions
Abstract Snell’s law dictates the phenomenon of light refraction at the interface between two media. Here, we demonstrate arbitrary programming of light refraction through an engineered mate...
Microbial responses to changing plant community protect peatland carbon stores during Holocene drying
A complex between IF2 and NusA suggests early coupling of transcription-translation
Abstract The main function of translation initiation factors is to assist ribosomes in selecting the correct reading frame on an mRNA. This process has been exte...
Na-alloy tailored 3D/0D metal halide heterostructures enabling efficient charge transfer for color-integrated white scintillators
A stress-induced paralog of Lhcb4 controls the photosystem II functional architecture in Arabidopsis thaliana
Abstract Photosystem II (PSII) is the pigment-protein complex catalysing light-induced water oxidation. In Arabidopsis thaliana, it includes three Lhcb4–6 proteins linking the core complex t...
Entropy-driven denaturation enables sustainable protein regeneration through rapid gel-solid transition
P-stereogenic centre via Pd/Cu-bimetallic catalytic selective phosphinylation of allenylic acetates
SMCHD1 maintains heterochromatin, genome compartments and epigenome landscape in human myoblasts
Biomarkers of pediatric Epstein-Barr virus-associated hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis through single-cell transcriptomics
Abstract Epstein-Barr virus-associated hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (EBV-HLH) is a fatal hyperinflammatory disorder distinct from self-limiting EBV-induced infectious mononucleosis (IM...
Triple-effect correction for Cell Painting data with contrastive and domain-adversarial learning
U-rich elements drive pervasive cryptic splicing in 3’ UTR massively parallel reporter assays
Ancient allopolyploidy and specific subgenomic evolution drove the radiation of poplars and willows
Spatiotemporal H2O2 flashes coordinate actin cytoskeletal remodeling and regulate cell migration and wound healing
Abstract Well-organized repair of damaged barrier epithelia is vital for infection control, resolution of inflammation, and enduring physical protection. Cysteine thiol and methionine oxidat...
