Restoring small water bodies to improve lake and river water quality in China
AbstractClimate change, population growth, and agricultural intensification are increasing nitrogen (N) inputs, while driving the loss of inland water bodies that filter excess N. However, the interpl...
SOX2+ sustentacular cells are stem cells of the postnatal adrenal medulla
AbstractRenewal of the catecholamine-secreting chromaffin cell population of the adrenal medulla is necessary for physiological homeostasis throughout life. Definitive evidence for the presence or abs...
Genomic signatures of adaptation in native lizards exposed to human-introduced fire ants
Comparative 3D ultrastructure of Plasmodium falciparum gametocytes
AbstractDespite the enormous significance of malaria parasites for global health, some basic features of their ultrastructure remain obscure. Here, we apply high-resolution volumetric electron microsc...
A fiducial-assisted strategy compatible with resolving small MFS transporter structures in multiple conformations using cryo-EM
PIM2 inhibition promotes MCL1 dependency in plasma cells involving integrated stress response-driven NOXA expression
Realizing high power factor and thermoelectric performance in band engineered AgSbTe2
Viral RNA polymerase as a SUMOylation decoy inhibits RNA quality control to promote potyvirus infection
Optical single-shot readout of spin qubits in silicon
AbstractSmall registers of spin qubits in silicon can exhibit hour-long coherence times and exceeded error-correction thresholds. However, their connection to larger quantum processors is an outstandi...
De novo biosynthesis of nylon 12 monomer ω-aminododecanoic acid
The Nordic-walking mechanism and its explanation of deconfined pseudocriticality from Wess-Zumino-Witten theory
Acquisition of Fc-afucosylation of PfEMP1-specific IgG is age-dependent and associated with clinical protection against malaria
Recurrent models of orientation selectivity enable robust early-vision processing in mixed-signal neuromorphic hardware
Northern Hemisphere sea ice variability in a transient CGCM simulation of the past 2.6 Ma
Leveraging haplotype information in heritability estimation and polygenic prediction
A tunable human intestinal organoid system achieves controlled balance between self-renewal and differentiation
DSIF factor Spt5 coordinates transcription, maturation and exoribonucleolysis of RNA polymerase II transcripts
AbstractPrecursor messenger RNA (pre-mRNA) is processed into its functional form during RNA polymerase II (Pol II) transcription. Although functional coupling between transcription and pre-mRNA proces...
Meta-EA: a gene-specific combination of available computational tools for predicting missense variant effects
Living plastics from plasticizer-assisted thermal molding of silk protein
Multiphase superconductivity in PdBi2
AbstractUnconventional superconductivity, where electron pairing does not involve electron-phonon interactions, is often attributed to magnetic correlations in a material. Well known examples include...
Immune correlates of early clearance of Mycobacterium tuberculosis among tuberculosis household contacts in Indonesia
AbstractSome individuals, even when heavily exposed to an infectious tuberculosis patient, do not develop a specific T-cell response as measured by interferon-gamma release assay (IGRA). This could be...
Banning new gas boilers as a no-regret mitigation option
Abstract The low uptake of low-carbon heating systems across Europe has prompted authorities to consider more ambitious measures, including a complete ban on the installation of new...
A root system architecture regulator modulates OsPIN2 polar localization in rice
TransLeish: Identification of membrane transporters essential for survival of intracellular Leishmania parasites in a systematic gene deletion screen
Abstract For the protozoan parasite Leishmania , completion of its life cycle requires sequential adaptation of cellular...
