Structural basis for the activation of proteinase-activated receptors PAR1 and PAR2
Concerted catalysis of single atom and nanocluster enhances bio-ethanol activation and dehydrogenation
Abstract Single atom and nanocluster catalysts are extensively investigated in heterogeneous catalysis due to their high catalytic activity and atomic utilization, while their coexisting pro...
scMultiMap: Cell-type-specific mapping of enhancers and target genes from single-cell multimodal data
Gapless dispersive continuum in a modulated quantum kagome antiferromagnet
Correlated fermionic-bosonic insulating states in twisted hetero-trilayer semiconductors
CLAVATA signalling shapes barley inflorescence by controlling activity and determinacy of shoot meristem and rachilla
Abstract The large variety of inflorescence architectures evolved in grasses depends on shape, longevity and determinacy of meristems directing growth of the main and lateral axes. The CLAVA...
Ultrasensitive detection of clinical pathogens through a target-amplification-free collateral-cleavage-enhancing CRISPR-CasΦ tool
Abstract Clinical pathogen diagnostics detect targets by qPCR (but with low sensitivity) or blood culturing (but time-consuming). Here we leverage a dual-stem-loop DNA amplifier to enhance n...
A molecular framework for the GS2-SUG1 module-mediated control of grain size and weight in rice
Junctional force patterning drives both positional order and planar polarity in the auditory epithelia
Different factors control long-term versus short-term outcomes for bacterial colonisation of a urinary catheter
Abstract Urinary catheters are used extensively in hospitals and long-term care and they are highly prone to infection. Understanding the pathways by which bacteria colonise a urinar...
A suppression-modification gene drive for malaria control targeting the ultra-conserved RNA gene mir-184
Abstract Gene drive technology presents a promising approach to controlling malaria vector populations. Suppression drives are intended to disrupt essential mosquito genes whereas modificati...
Chromosomal instability in human trophoblast stem cells and placentas
An individual-based modelling study estimating the impact of maternity service delivery on health in Malawi
Abstract Maternal and perinatal morbidity and mortality remain high in Malawi, partially due to gaps in the coverage and quality of health services. We developed...
Single-cell RNA sequencing dissects the immunosuppressive signatures in Helicobacter pylori-infected human gastric ecosystem
Chern networks: reconciling fundamental physics and device engineering
A specific microbial consortium enhances Th1 immunity, improves LCMV viral clearance but aggravates LCMV disease pathology in mice
Abstract Anti-viral immunity can vary tremendously from individual to individual but mechanistic understanding is still scarce. Here, we show that a defined, low complex bacterial community...
Deciphering distinct genetic risk factors for FTLD-TDP pathological subtypes via whole-genome sequencing
T-bet+CD8+ T cells govern anti-PD-1 responses in microsatellite-stable gastric cancers
Blockchain-based isotopic big data-driven tracing of global PM sources and interventions
Abstract Tracing sources and assessing intervention effectiveness are crucial for controlling atmospheric particulate matter (PM) pollution. Isotopic techniques enable precise top-down traci...
Wild and domesticated animal abundance is associated with greater late-Holocene alpine plant diversity
Abstract In the face of human land use and climate dynamics, it is essential to know the key drivers of plant species diversity in montane regions. However, the relative roles of climate and...
Coeval upper crustal extension and surface uplift in the Central Taurides (Türkiye) above the Cyprus Subduction Zone
Climate-driven succession in marine microbiome biodiversity and biogeochemical function
Abstract Seasonal and El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) warming result in similar ocean changes as predicted with climate change. Climate-driven environmental...
Superexchange interaction regulates Ni/Mn spin states triggering Ni-t2g/O-2p reductive coupling enabling stable lithium-rich cathode
Evaluation of fetal exposure to environmental noise using a computer-generated model
Abstract Acoustic noise can have profound effects on wellbeing, impacting the health of pregnant women and their fetus. Mounting evidence suggests neural memory...
Contact-free magnetic resonance imaging and spectroscopy with acoustic levitation
Abstract Conventional magnetic resonance measurements often rely on the use of sample containers. This limits the implementation of time-resolved studies at the molecular level of li...
