Polymeric ionic liquid promotes acidic electrocatalytic CO2 conversion to multicarbon products with ampere level current on Cu
Peroxisomal core structures segregate diverse metabolic pathways
Abstract Peroxisomes are single membrane-bounded oxidative organelles with various metabolic functions including β-oxidation of fatty acids. Peroxisomes of many species confine certain metab...
Heat flows solubilize apatite to boost phosphate availability for prebiotic chemistry
Abstract Phosphorus is an essential building block of life, likely since its beginning. Despite this importance for prebiotic chemistry, phosphorus was scarce in Earth’s rock record...
Histamine-modulated wettability switching in G-protein-coupled receptor inspired nanochannel for potential drug screening and biosensing
S1PR1-biased activation drives the resolution of endothelial dysfunction-associated inflammatory diseases by maintaining endothelial integrity
Negative global-scale association between genetic diversity and speciation rates in mammals
Semicircular canals shed light on bottleneck events in the evolution of the Neanderthal clade
Access to N-α-deuterated amino acids and DNA conjugates via Ca(II)-HFIP-mediated reductive deutero-amination of α-oxo-carbonyl compounds
Deciphering response dynamics and treatment resistance from circulating tumor DNA after CAR T-cells in multiple myeloma
Abstract Despite advances in treatments, multiple myeloma (MM) remains an incurable cancer where relapse is common. We developed a circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) approach in order to characte...
Ketogenic diet suppresses colorectal cancer through the gut microbiome long chain fatty acid stearate
Abstract Colorectal cancer (CRC) patients have been shown to possess an altered gut microbiome. Diet is a well-established modulator of the microbiome, and thus, dietary interventions might...
Chimpanzees adapt their exploration to key properties of the environment
Abstract Exploration is an important strategy for reducing the uncertainty that pervades daily life. Yet the evolutionary roots of adaptive exploration are poorly understood. We harness and...
A parts-per-million scale electrolyte additive for durable aqueous zinc batteries
Unconventional (anti)ferroelectricity in van der Waals group-IV monochalcogenides
Fc-engineered large molecules targeting blood-brain barrier transferrin receptor and CD98hc have distinct central nervous system and peripheral biodistribution
Crystal symmetry modification enables high-ranged in-plane thermoelectric performance in n-type SnSe crystals
Abstract SnSe crystal has witnessed significant advancements as a promising thermoelectric material over the past decade. Its in-plane direction shows robust mechanical strength for practica...
Organelle-like structural evolution of coacervate droplets induced by photopolymerization
Polymer-like tetramer acceptor enables stable and 19.75% efficiency binary organic solar cells
Abstract Limited by large batch differences and inferior polymerization degree of current polymer acceptors, the potential high efficiency and stability advantages of all-polymer solar cells...
A nanotwinned-alloy strategy enables fast sodium deposition dynamics
Abstract Sodium (Na) metal batteries are considered promising solutions for next-generation electrochemical energy storage because of their low costs and high energy densities. However, the...
Predictable recovery rates in near-surface materials after earthquake damage
Abstract Earthquakes introduce transient mechanical damage in the subsurface, which causes postseismic hazards and can take years to recover. This observation has been linked to relaxation,...
Actin-dependent α-catenin oligomerization contributes to adherens junction assembly
Structural basis of urea transport by Arabidopsis thaliana DUR3
Choosing fit-for-purpose biodiversity impact indicators for agriculture in the Brazilian Cerrado ecoregion
Abstract Understanding and acting on biodiversity loss requires robust tools linking biodiversity impacts to land use change, the biggest threat to terrestrial biodiversity. Here we...
Bacteria invade the brain following intracortical microelectrode implantation, inducing gut-brain axis disruption and contributing to reduced microelectrode performance
Abstract Brain-machine interface performance can be affected by neuroinflammatory responses due to blood-brain barrier (BBB) damage following intracortical microelectrode implantatio...
