Childhood gut microbiome is linked to internalizing symptoms at school age via the functional connectome
Abstract The microbiome-gut-brain-axis plays a critical role in mental health. However, research linking the microbiome to brain function is limited, particularly during development,...
Single rate-limiting event of carcinogenesis
Abstract Single-cell studies have discovered abundant cancer-associated genetic/phenotypic changes in non-cancerous cells, strikingly contrasting with the infrequency of cancer. Epid...
Structural basis for amyloid fibril assembly by the master cell-signaling regulator receptor-interacting protein kinase 1
Data navigation on the ENCODE portal
Abstract Spanning two decades, the collaborative ENCODE project aims to identify all the functional elements within human and mouse genomes. To best serve the sc...
Efficient optimization accelerator framework for multi-state spin Ising problems
Abstract Ising Machines are emerging hardware architectures that efficiently solve NP-hard combinatorial optimization problems. Generally, combinatorial problems...
Kinetically-controlled intermediate-direct-pinning for homogeneous energy landscapes in quasi-two-dimensional perovskites for efficient and narrow blue emission
Abstract Quasi-two-dimensional perovskite structures hold great potential as active layers in blue perovskite light-emitting diodes. However, they face challenge...
Photoactivated conductive MOF thin film arrays on micro-LEDs for chemiresistive gas sensing
Abstract Electrically conductive metal-organic frameworks (cMOFs) are emerging as promising chemiresistors due to their diverse compositions, chemical properties, porosity, and room-...
Automated navigation of condensate phase behavior with active machine learning
Abstract Biomolecular condensates are essential cellular structures formed via biomacromolecule phase separation. Synthetic condensates allow for systematic engineering and understan...
Fast-switching dual-cathode electrochromic smart windows for year-round building energy savings
Mitochondrial organization in the developing proximal tubule is controlled by LRRK2
Polygenic viral factors enable efficient mosquito-borne transmission of African Zika virus
Counter-propagating entangled photon pairs from monolayer GaSe
Increasing central and northern European summer heatwave intensity due to forced changes in internal variability
Abstract In recent years, European summer heatwaves have strongly intensified due to rising anthropogenic emissions. While European summer heatwaves will continue to intensify due to...
Young KRAB-zinc finger gene clusters are highly dynamic incubators of ERV-driven genetic heterogeneity in mice
Abstract KRAB-zinc finger proteins (KZFPs) comprise the largest family of mammalian transcription factors, rapidly evolving within and between species. Most KZFP...
Design of direction-independent hydrovoltaic electricity generator based on all-foam asymmetric electrode
Long-read RNA-seq demarcates cis- and trans-directed alternative RNA splicing
Hippocampus supports multi-task reinforcement learning under partial observability
Abstract Mastering navigation in environments with limited visibility is crucial for survival. Although the hippocampus has been associated with goal-oriented navigation, its role in...
Concentrated-solar catalytic methane dry reforming with ultrahigh conversion and durability
Vinyl-aza-[3]cumulene intermediates induced polymerization for accessing E-dienyl poly(sulfonylamidines) towards pH-responsive drug delivery
Three stages of plateau evolution manifested in present-day Tibetan Plateau
Three-dimensional nanoscale control of magnetism in crystalline Yttrium Iron Garnet
BRCA2 deficiency and replication stress drive APOBEC3-Mediated genomic instability
Abstract BRCA2 plays a critical role in stabilizing stalled replication forks, yet critical gaps remain in understanding how BRCA2 deficiency triggers fork colla...
Estimating rates of treatment delay for malaria fevers among children in Sub-Saharan Africa 2006–2022
Abstract Late diagnosis and treatment of malaria increase the odds of severe disease by nearly 2.8 times, enhance transmission rates, compromise drug effectiveness, and trigger malar...
High-frequency FeSiAl-based soft magnetic composites via simultaneously suppressed eddy and hysteresis losses
Abstract Soft magnetic composites present promising solutions for integrated transformers and inductors, but challenges arise at MHz range, where hysteresis and...
Selective silencing of antibiotic-tethered ribosomes as a resistance mechanism against aminoglycosides
Abstract Antibiotic resistance is a growing threat, underscoring the need to understand the underlying mechanisms. Aminoglycosides kill bacteria by disrupting tr...
