Modulating the covalency of Ru-O bonds by dynamic reconstruction for efficient acidic oxygen evolution
Exceptional energy harvesting from coupled bound states
Abstract Sustainable and affordable energy is one of the most critical issues facing society. Noise is ubiquitous, albeit with a low energy density, making it an almost perfect energ...
Self-organizing neuromorphic nanowire networks as stochastic dynamical systems
Abstract Neuromorphic computing aims to develop hardware platforms that emulate the effectiveness of our brain. In this context, brain-inspired self-organizing m...
High-energy and long-life O3-type layered cathode material for sodium-ion batteries
Charge symmetry breaking in neutral polyzwitterions
Abstract Response of polar and neutral monomers in macromolecules to an electric field in their crowded aqueous solutions remains as an unchartered area of research, in contrast with well un...
Genomic data reveal a north-south split and introgression history of blood fluke populations across Africa
OsGATA7 and SMOS1 cooperatively determine rice taste quality by repressing OsGluA2 expression and protein biosynthesis
A concept-based interpretable model for the diagnosis of choroid neoplasias using multimodal data
Engineered depalmitoylases enable selective manipulation of protein localization and function
Principles for fabricating moisture barrier films via stacked Janus graphene layers
Deep learning enabled liquid-based cytology model for cervical precancer and cancer detection
Nanoparticle delivery of a prodrug-activating bacterial enzyme leads to anti-tumor responses
Abstract Most cancer patients diagnosed with late-stage head and neck squamous cell carcinoma are treated with chemoradiotherapy, which can lead to toxicity. One potential alternative is tum...
Temperature and precipitation affect the water fetching time burden in Sub-Saharan Africa
Abstract In Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA), over 75% of households lack on-premises water access, requiring residents to spend time walking to collect water from outside their homes – a ti...
Metal-organic framework glass stabilizes high-voltage cathodes for efficient lithium-metal batteries
Fibromodulin selectively accelerates myofibroblast apoptosis in cutaneous wounds by enhancing interleukin 1β signaling
Abstract Activated myofibroblasts deposit extracellular matrix material to facilitate rapid wound closure that can heal scarlessly during fetal development. However, adult myofibroblasts exh...
A genome-wide screen identifies genes required for erythroid differentiation
Mutant CEBPA promotes tolerance to inflammatory stress through deficient AP-1 activation
Abstract The CEBPA transcription factor is frequently mutated in acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Mutations in the CEBPA gene, which are typically biallelic, result in the production of a short...
Unveiling chromatin dynamics with virtual epigenome
Abstract The three-dimensional organization of chromatin is essential for gene regulation and cellular function, with epigenome playing a key role. Hi-C methods have expanded our understandi...
Gut commensal Bifidobacterium-derived extracellular vesicles modulate the therapeutic effects of anti-PD-1 in lung cancer
Structure-guided disulfide engineering restricts antibody conformation to elicit TNFR agonism
Abstract A promising strategy in cancer immunotherapy is activation of immune signalling pathways through antibodies that target co-stimulatory receptors....
Autophagy is induced during plant grafting to promote wound healing
A Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron genetic locus encodes activities consistent with mucin O-glycoprotein processing and N-acetylgalactosamine metabolism
Abstract The gut microbiota is a key modulator of human health and the status of major diseases including cancer, diabetes and inflammatory bowel disease. Central to microbiota survival is t...
High-fidelity topochemical polymerization in single crystals, polycrystals, and solution aggregates
Abstract Topochemical polymerization (TCP) emerges as a leading approach for synthesizing single crystalline polymers, but is traditionally restricted to transformations in solid-medium. The...
Mutualism breakdown underpins evolutionary rescue in an obligate cross-feeding bacterial consortium
Abstract Populations facing lethal environmental change can escape extinction through rapid genetic adaptation, a process known as evolutionary rescue. Despite extensive study, evolutionary...
