MRAP mediated adipocyte differentiation by thymic mesenchymal stromal cells contributes to thymic involution
Abstract Adipocyte deposition is believed to be a primary characteristic of age-related thymic involution, but the underlying cellular and molecular mechanisms remain unknown. We sho...
Fundamental limits on nonequilibrium sensing
Abstract The performance of equilibrium sensors is restricted by the laws of equilibrium thermodynamics. Here, we investigate the physical limits on nonequilibrium sensing in biparti...
Targeting the ROS-ferroptosis-inflammation cycle with a nanozyme-functionalized hydrogel for intervertebral disc repair
Adaptable graph region for optimizing performance in dynamic system long-term forecasting via time-aware expert
High-resolution proteomics unveils salivary gland disruption and saliva-hemolymph protein exchange in Plasmodium-infected mosquitoes
Abstract Plasmodium sporozoites, the infective stage of malaria, must invade the mosquito salivary glands (SGs) before being transmitted to a...
Systematic benchmarking of imaging spatial transcriptomics platforms in FFPE tissues
Mycobacterium tuberculosis overcomes phosphate starvation by extensively remodelling its lipidome with phosphorus-free lipids
Abstract Tuberculosis (TB) is the biggest cause of death from infectious disease worldwide. The causative agent, Mycobacterium tuberculosis...
Tumbleweed-inspired robots with hybrid mobility for terrestrial exploration
Abstract We present a tumbleweed-inspired rover that integrates passive wind-driven mobility with selective active control, creating a hybrid system capable of carrying heavy payload...
Non-coding genetic variants underlying higher prostate cancer risk in men of African ancestry
Abstract Prostate cancer (PrCa) incidence and severity vary across ancestries; men of African ancestry (AA) are more likely to be diagnosed and die from PrCa than those of European a...
Self-compliant ionic nanomesh for gas-permeable and stress-free on-skin electronics
Abstract Self-adaptive compliance and gas permeability are crucial properties for on-skin electronics, enabling the reliable extraction of high-fidelity electrophysiological signals...

Sex-specific role of the 5-HT2A receptor in psilocybin-induced extinction of opioid reward
Polymer-tethered pyridine tunes activities of the two distinct CO2 electroreduction sites on Cu
SLC45A4 encodes a peroxisomal putrescine transporter that promotes GABA de novo synthesis
Abstract Solute carriers (SLC) are membrane proteins that facilitate the transportation of ions and metabolites across either the plasma membrane or the membrane...
Observing network dynamics through sentinel nodes
Local adaptation to climate has facilitated the global invasion of cheatgrass
Directed evolution of phages in biofilms enhances Pseudomonas aeruginosa control through improved lipopolysaccharide recognition
Ionomer engineering for optimized water channels in industry-scale water electrolysis using non-noble metal catalyst
Fermi polarons under strain-induced pseudomagnetic fields
Abstract Excitons in Transition Metal Dichalcogenides (TMDs) acquire a spin-like quantum number, a pseudospin, originating from the crystal’s discrete rotational...
Arsenic enrichment patterns are defined by microbialite morphology, fabric, and accretion mechanism
Disparities in exposure to hydrogeomorphic hazards in Bangladesh
Active learning-guided catalyst design for selective acetate production in CO electroreduction
The dynamic lateral gate of the mitochondrial β-barrel biogenesis machinery is blocked by darobactin A
Abstract The folding and insertion of β-barrel proteins into the mitochondrial outer membrane is facilitated by the s ort...
Simulating the quantum switch with quantum circuits is computationally hard
Abstract Higher-order transformations acting on input quantum channels in an indefinite causal order—such as the quantum switch—cannot be described by quantum ci...
