Millennial pulses of African dust and ITCZ shifts in the Eastern Equatorial Pacific
Structural basis of voltage-dependent gating in BK channels
Abstract The allosteric communication between the pore domain, voltage sensors, and Ca2+ binding sites in the calcium- and voltage-activated K+ channel (BK) underlies its physiological role...
Unsupervised learning of temporal regularities in visual cortical populations
Abstraction hierarchy to define biofoundry workflows and operations for interoperable synthetic biology research and applications
Mice with a diverse human T cell receptor repertoire selected on multiple HLA class I molecules
Abstract T cell receptor (TCR) gene therapy is an effective cancer treatment. Ideally, the TCR should be of human origin and have optimal avidity, e.g., isolated from a tumor antigen-non-tol...
Unveiling the intermediate hydrated proton in water through vibrational analysis on the 1750 cm−1 signature
Machine learning-assisted decoding of temporal transcriptional dynamics via fluorescent timer
Abstract Investigating the temporal dynamics of gene expression is crucial for understanding gene regulation across various biological processes. Using the Fluor...
Mechanically flexible mid-wave infrared imagers using black phosphorus ink films
Abstract The mid-wave infrared (MWIR) spectral range (λ = 3–8 μm) enables important sensing and imaging applications, including non-invasive bioimaging, night vision, and autonomous navigati...
Noncanonical short-latency auditory pathway directly activates deep cortical layers
Genomic landscape of virus-associated cancers
Abstract It has been estimated that 15%-20% of human cancers are attributable to infections, mostly by carcinogenic viruses. The incidence varies worldwide, with a majority affecting develop...
An intracranial dissection of human escape circuits
Near-Unity Nitrate to Ammonia conversion via reactant enrichment at the solid-liquid interface
Abstract Electroreduction of nitrate (NO3 ‒) to ammonia (NH3) is a promising approach for addressing energy challenges. However, the activity is limited by NO3 ‒ mass...
Conformational dynamics and membrane insertion mechanism of B4GALNT1 in ganglioside synthesis
Abstract Glycosphingolipids (GSLs) are crucial membrane components involved in essential cellular pathways. Complex GSLs, known as gangliosides, are synthesised by glycosyltransferas...
Antibacterial microcins are ubiquitous and functionally diverse across bacterial communities
Reward history guides focal attention in whisker somatosensory cortex
Abstract Prior reward is a potent cue for attentional capture, but the underlying neurobiology is largely unknown. In a whisker touch detection task, we show that mice flexibly shift...
Single-cell analysis reveals a longitudinal trajectory of meningioma evolution and heterogeneity
Static and transient vacuolation in protein-based coacervates induced by charged amino acids
Two-dimensional superlattice nanocatalysts unlock multimodal energy transformation-driven catalytic therapy
The gender gap in scholarly self-promotion on social media
All-printed chip-less wearable neuromorphic system for multimodal physicochemical health monitoring
Abstract Recent advancements in wearable sensor technologies have enabled real-time monitoring of physiological and biochemical signals, opening new opportunities for personalized healthcare...
Evidence of water promotes cyclohexanol adsorption and dehydration over H-ZSM-5 zeolite
A bright future for topological acoustics
A near-threshold memristive computing-in-memory engine for edge intelligence
Quantum emission from coupled spin pairs in hexagonal boron nitride
Abstract Optically addressable defect qubits in wide band gap materials are favorable candidates for room-temperature quantum information processing. Two-dimensional (2D) hexagonal boron nit...
