Hotspots of genetic change in Yersinia pestis
Ab initio machine-learning unveils strong anharmonicity in non-Arrhenius self-diffusion of tungsten
Abstract The knowledge of diffusion mechanisms in materials is crucial for predicting their high-temperature performance and stability, yet accurately capturing the underlying physics like t...
Insulin signaling regulates R2 retrotransposon expression to orchestrate transgenerational rDNA copy number maintenance
AbstractPreserving a large number of essential yet highly unstable ribosomal DNA (rDNA) repeats is critical for the germline to perpetuate the genome through generations. Spontaneous rDNA loss must be...
Continental drift triggered the Early Permian aridification of North China
AbstractThe boundary between wet and arid climate zones in the Tethys Ocean remains challenging to trace, complicating our understanding of global aridification pattern during the Late Carboniferous t...
Colorimetric identification of colorless acid vapors using a metal-organic framework-based sensor
Abstract In terms of safety and emergency response, identifying hazardous gaseous acid chemicals is crucial for ensuring effective evacuation and administering proper first aid. Howe...
Rapid and accurate multi-phenotype imputation for millions of individuals
The global implications of a Russian gas pivot to Asia
AbstractRecent years have seen unprecedented shifts in global natural gas trade, precipitated in large part by Russia’s war on Ukraine. How this regional conflict impacts the future of natural gas mar...
Structural insights into the LGR4-RSPO2-ZNRF3 complexes regulating WNT/β-catenin signaling
Characterizing cell-type spatial relationships across length scales in spatially resolved omics data
AbstractSpatially resolved omics (SRO) technologies enable the identification of cell types while preserving their organization within tissues. Application of such technologies offers the opportunity...
Carbon nitride caught in the act of artificial photosynthesis
AbstractCovalent semiconductors of the carbon nitride family are among the most promising systems to realize “artificial photosynthesis”, that is exploiting synthetic materials which use sunlight as a...
Sulfur chains glass formed by fast compression
Triboelectric tactile sensor for pressure and temperature sensing in high-temperature applications
Nucleosome wrapping states encode principles of 3D genome organization
AbstractNucleosome is the basic structural unit of the genome. During processes like DNA replication and gene transcription, the conformation of nucleosomes undergoes dynamic changes, including DNA un...
Tracking the structural change of the predissociating molecule near the transition state
Heterodyne analysis of high-order partial waves in attosecond photoionization of helium
AbstractPartial wave analysis is key to interpretation of the photoionization of atoms and molecules on the attosecond timescale. Here we propose a heterodyne analysis approach, based on the delay-res...
Ribosomes translocation into the spore of Bacillus subtilis is highly organised and requires peptidoglycan rearrangements
Allocentric and egocentric spatial representations coexist in rodent medial entorhinal cortex
A cell atlas of the human fallopian tube throughout the menstrual cycle and menopause
Review on natural hydrogen wells safety
Ionizable polymeric micelles (IPMs) for efficient siRNA delivery
Emergence of ferroelectricity in Sn-based perovskite semiconductor films by iminazole molecular reconfiguration
AbstractFerroelectric semiconductors have the advantages of switchable polarization ferroelectric field regulation and semiconductor transport characteristics, which are highly promising in ferroelect...
Deeper response predicts better outcomes in high-risk-smoldering-myeloma: results of the I-PRISM phase II clinical trial
AbstractEarly therapeutic intervention in high-risk smoldering multiple myeloma (HR-SMM) has shown benefits, however, no studies have assessed whether biochemical progression or response depth predict...
Long-range organization of intestinal 2D-crypts using exogenous Wnt3a micropatterning
Quantum-limited stochastic optical neural networks operating at a few quanta per activation
Abstract Energy efficiency in computation is ultimately limited by noise, with quantum limits setting the fundamental noise floor. Analog physical neural networks hold promise for im...
Genomic and phenotypic stability of fusion-driven pediatric sarcoma cell lines
AbstractHuman cancer cell lines are the mainstay of cancer research. Recent reports showed that highly mutated adult carcinoma cell lines (mainly HeLa and MCF-7) present striking diversity across labo...
