Radial glia integrin avb8 regulates cell autonomous microglial TGFβ1 signaling that is necessary for microglial identity
Abstract Microglial diversity arises from the interplay between inherent genetic programs and external environmental signals. However, the mechanisms by which th...
Spatiotemporal computations in the insect celestial compass
Abstract Obtaining a geocentric directional reference from a celestial compass requires compensation for the sun’s movement during the day (relative to the observer), which depends o...
Deep reinforcement learning can promote sustainable human behaviour in a common-pool resource problem
Abstract A canonical social dilemma arises when resources are allocated to people, who can either reciprocate with interest or keep the proceeds. The right resource allocation mechanisms can...
Nb-induced lattice changes to enhance corrosion resistance of Al0.5Ti3Zr0.5NbxMo0.2 high-entropy alloys
Abstract In this work, the effect of lattice structure on the corrosion behavior and passivation film properties of reinforced Al0.5Ti3Zr0.5NbxMo0.2 (x = 0.5,0.8,1) high-entropy alloys are i...
On-demand treatment of metabolic diseases by a synthetic drug-inducible exocytosis system
Generation of spatiotemporal acoustic vortices with arbitrarily oriented orbital angular momentum
MCL‑1 safeguards activated hair follicle stem cells to enable adult hair regeneration
Abstract Hair follicles cycle through expansion, regression and quiescence. To investigate the role of MCL‑1, a BCL‑2 family protein with anti‑apoptotic and apoptosis‑unrelated functions, we...
Enantiopure synthesis of [5]helicene based molecular lemniscates and their use in chiroptical materials
Abstract The ability to synthesise lemniscular molecules to allow for the study and application of their chiroptical properties is a notable technical challenge. Herein, we report the design...
Integrating photochemical and photothermal effects for selective oxidative coupling of methane into C2+ hydrocarbons with multiple active sites
Smoking aggravates neovascular age-related macular degeneration via Sema4D-PlexinB1 axis-mediated activation of pericytes
Data-driven energy management for electric vehicles using offline reinforcement learning
Automated prediction of fibroblast phenotypes using mathematical descriptors of cellular features
Structural basis for psilocybin biosynthesis
Estimation of energy efficiency of heat pumps in residential buildings using real operation data
Abstract As heat pumps become more prevalent in residential buildings, effective performance monitoring is essential. Design flaws, incorrect settings, and faults can escalate energy consump...
Enhancing prosthetic vision by upgrade of a subretinal photovoltaic implant in situ
Abstract In patients with atrophic age-related macular degeneration, subretinal photovoltaic implant (PRIMA) provided visual acuity up to 20/440, matching its 100 µm pixels size. Nex...
Multi-mode geometrically gated encryption with 4D morphing hydrogel
Transient power-law behaviour following induction distinguishes between competing models of stochastic gene expression
Abstract What features of transcription can be learnt by fitting mathematical models of gene expression to mRNA count data? Given a suite of models, fitting to data selects an optima...
High-resolution high-throughput spatiotemporal strain imaging reveals loss mechanisms in a surface acoustic wave device
Mitochondria transplantation transiently rescues cerebellar neurodegeneration improving mitochondrial function and reducing mitophagy in mice
ANXA11 biomolecular condensates facilitate protein-lipid phase coupling on lysosomal membranes
Abstract Phase transitions of cellular proteins and lipids play a key role in governing the organisation and coordination of intracellular biology. Recent work has raised the intrigu...
Leveraging pleiotropic clustering to address high proportion correlated horizontal pleiotropy in Mendelian randomization studies
Atomically dispersed cerium on copper tailors interfacial water structure for efficient CO-to-acetate electroreduction
Benthic diel oxygen variability and stress as potential drivers for animal diversification in the Neoproterozoic-Palaeozoic
Abstract The delay between the origin of animals in the Neoproterozoic and their Cambrian diversification remains perplexing. Animal diversification mirrors an expansion in marine sh...
