Prelimbic cortex to ventral tegmental area projection regulates early social isolation stress-potentiated heroin seeking in mice
Abstract Early-life adversities increase vulnerability to substance use disorders, which are characterized by persistent, uncontrollable drive to seek drugs, oft...
Upcycling waste polystyrene to adipic acid through a hybrid chemical and biological process
S/O and vinyl isomerization enables ultrafast cationic ring-opening polymerization toward CO2-derived polythioester with migrated in-chain C=C substituents
Non-damaging laser treatment with electroretinography-based thermal dosimetry activates hormetic heat response in pig retinal pigment epithelium
Antarctic meltwater alters future projections of climate and sea level
Author Correction: Early Triassic super-greenhouse climate driven by vegetation collapse
Direct current generation in triboelectric nanogenerators through ionic dynamics and electrode polarization effects
Conversion from coniferous to broadleaved trees can make European forests more climate-effective
Abstract The climate effectiveness of forestation in Europe is debated, as it may provide more warming via solar energy absorption than evaporative cooling. Since forests play an imp...
Multiscale interlinked structures limit fatigue crack propagation in a MXene-polyurethane composite
A memory transcriptome time course reveals essential long-term memory transcription factors
Abstract Long-term memory (LTM) requires transcription and translation of new proteins, yet the transcriptional control of memory remains poorly understood. Here...
Visually encoded mechanoluminescence through hierarchical structuring with microscale patterns and nanoscale features
Paused RNA polymerase primes promoters via RNA-mediated stabilisation of transcription factor ERα
Common genetic variation influencing the human lung imaging phenotypes
Crop rotations synergize yield, nutrition, and revenue: a meta-analysis
Low-dimensional templates and delayed crystallization for high-quality tin-based perovskite films and high-performance transistors
Defect engineering in BaSnO3 and SrSnO3 thin films through nanoscale substrate patterning
Pre-established ATF4 occupancy and chromatin organization instruct selective transcription activation during integrated stress response

Link between cascade phenomenon and correlated Chern insulators in magic-angle twisted bilayer graphene
Structural and dynamic insights into the biased signaling mechanism of the human kappa opioid receptor
Abstract The κ-opioid receptor (KOR) is a member of the G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) family, modulating cellular responses through transducers such as G pro...
Permeation enhancer-induced membrane defects assist the oral absorption of peptide drugs
Abstract The passive membrane permeation of small-molecule drugs and small hydrophobic peptides is relatively well understood. In contrast, how long polar peptid...
Cell autonomous polarization by the planar cell polarity signaling pathway
Liquid metal interface enables glassy MOF membranes with defect-mediated CO₂ transport
Abstract Glassy metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) combine structural disorder with thermal processability, yet their use as membranes has been hindered by difficulties in fabricating t...
