Identification and characterisation of vaginal bacteria-glycan interactions implicated in reproductive tract health and pregnancy outcomes
Abstract Lactobacillus displacement from the vaginal microbiome associates with adverse health outcomes and is linked to increased risk of preterm birth. Glycans mediate bacteri...
Terahertz field effect in a two-dimensional semiconductor
Abstract Layered two-dimensional (2D) materials offer many promising avenues for advancing modern electronics, thanks to their tunable optical, electronic, and m...
Two major ecological shifts shaped 60 million years of ungulate faunal evolution
Abstract The fossil record provides direct evidence for the behavior of biological systems over millions of years, offering a vital source for studying how ecosystems evolved and responded t...
Controlling selectivity in the chemical looping oxidative dehydrogenation of propane through interface engineering
Entropy-driven difference in interfacial water reactivity between slab and nanodroplet
Residual ligand-functionalized ultrathin Ni(OH)2 via reconstruction for high-rate HO2− electrosynthesis
Direct detection of 8-oxo-dG using nanopore sequencing
Quantum spin-engineering in on-surface molecular ferrimagnets
Abstract The design and control of atomic-scale spin structures constitute major challenges for spin-based quantum technology platforms, including quantum dots,...
No evidence of immune exhaustion after repeated SARS-CoV-2 vaccination in vulnerable and healthy populations
An end-to-end attention-based approach for learning on graphs
Abstract There has been a recent surge in transformer-based architectures for learning on graphs, mainly motivated by attention as an effective learning mechanism and the desire to supersede...
Emergent mechanics of a networked multivalent protein condensate
Abstract Multivalent proteins can form membraneless condensates in cells by liquid-liquid phase separation, and significant efforts have been made to study their biochemical properties. Here...
Room-temperature cavity exciton-polariton condensation in perovskite quantum dots
Abstract The exploitation of the strong light-matter coupling regime and exciton-polariton condensates has emerged as a compelling approach to introduce strong interactions and nonlinearitie...
Mechanism of DNA degradation by CBASS Cap5 endonuclease immune effector
Bio-inspired multifunctional disruptors of calcium oxalate crystallization
Stimulus-specific and adaptive value representations in the basolateral amygdala in male mice
Investigating the sources of variable impact of pathogenic variants in monogenic metabolic conditions
Abstract Over three percent of people carry a dominant pathogenic variant, yet only a fraction of carriers develop disease. Disease phenotypes from carriers of v...
Bio-inspired mid-infrared neuromorphic transistors for dynamic trajectory perception using PdSe2/pentacene heterostructure
An archaeal nucleoid-associated protein binds an essential motif in DNA replication origins
Abstract DNA replication typically has defined start sites, or replication origins, which are designated by their recognition by specific initiator proteins. In addition to initiators, gener...
Lysosomal TMEM165 controls cellular ion homeostasis and survival by mediating lysosomal Ca2+ import and H+ efflux
Optimizing enzyme inhibition analysis: precise estimation with a single inhibitor concentration
[1,n]-Metal migrations for directional translational motion at the molecular level
Abstract The controlled translational motion displayed by nature’s motor proteins underpins a wealth of processes integral to life, from organelle transport to muscle contraction. Th...
C. elegans SSNA-1 is required for the structural integrity of centrioles and bipolar spindle assembly
Abstract Centrioles play key roles in mitotic spindle assembly. Once assembled, centrioles exhibit long-term stability, but how stability is achieved and how it is regulated are not complete...
