摘要:From shifting visual scenes to tactile deformations and fluid motion, animals interpret patterns of sensory flow around their body to construct internal models and produce adaptive behavior. Understanding how such transformations are encoded in the brain remains incomplete. To tackle this question, we leverage the lateral line of larval zebrafish as a tractable system sensitive to fluid motion and used to steer navigation, feed, and avoid predators. By presenting stimuli of either direction to...

摘要:An elastic spring network is an example of evolvable matter. It can be pruned to couple separated pairs of nodes so that when a strain is applied to one of them, the other responds either in-phase or out-of-phase. This produces two pruned networks, with incompatible functions, that are nearly identical but differ from each other by a set of mutations each of which removes or adds a single bond in the network. We generate ensembles of network pairs that differ by a fixed number, M, of discrete ...

摘要:The host cell cytoskeleton plays a critical role in the SARS-CoV-2 life cycle, though the underlying mechanisms remain poorly understood. This study investigates the interaction between the SARS-CoV-2 spike (S) protein and the cytoskeleton-associated ezrin-radixin-moesin (ERM) proteins through biochemical and structural characterization. A previously unidentified ERM-binding motif on the SARS-CoV-2 S protein is identified, revealing that S-ERM interactions are specifically conserved among high...

摘要:Utilizing tantalum (Ta) in superconducting circuits has led to significant improvements, such as high qubit lifetime (T1) and quality factors in both qubits and resonators, suggesting that material optimization plays an important role in the development of superconducting circuits. Thus we here explore superconducting gap engineering in Ta-based devices as a powerful strategy for expanding the range of suitable host materials. By alloying 20 atomic percent (at.%) hafnium into Ta thin films, we...

摘要:Controlling the mechanical response of soft glassy materials-such as emulsions, foams, and colloidal suspensions-is key for many industrial processes. While their steady-state flow behavior is reasonably well understood, their response to complex flow histories, as encountered in operations like pumping or mixing, remains poorly known. Using a custom multiaxis shear apparatus that enables arbitrary changes flow direction, we investigate how shear history influences the mechanical behavior a mo...

摘要:Over time, carbon sequestered in temperate forests has increased, but the relative effects of passive and active drivers remain unclear. This study uses plot-level data to disentangle the contributions of six drivers (temperature, precipitation, CO2, management, age composition, and area) to these increases in 14 forest groups of the conterminous United States. From 2005 to 2022, the passive drivers (CO2, temperature, and precipicontributing most of the change. Among the anthropogenic drivers,...

摘要:BORC and BLOC-1 are multisubunit complexes that regulate endolysosomal trafficking. Although they are presumed to be distinct, their paralogous origins and shared subunits suggest the potential for higher-order assembly. Here, we reveal the conserved octameric architecture of BORC formed by two intertwined tetramers and present the structure of C. elegans BORC. Through cross-linking mass spectrometry of endogenous complexes, we validate this model for human BORC and demonstrate that the integr...

摘要:The ultraslow dynamics of glass-formers has been explained by two views often considered as mutually exclusive: One invokes locally hindered mobility, and the other rests on the complexity of the configuration space. Here, we show that time evolution responds strongly to details of the dynamics by changing the speed of time flow: It has time-reparameterization softness. This finding reconciles both views: While local constraints reparameterize the flow of time, the global landscape determines ...

摘要:Vascular tissues provide long-distance transport and physical support in the vascular plant lineage, providing a significant adaptive advantage. Although the cross talk between auxin and cytokinin in promoting both vascular cell proliferation and differentiation has been well studied in angiosperms such as Arabidopsis thaliana, little is known about this regulation in other vascular plant lineages. Here, we found that unlike the hormonal cross talk found in all other species under study, the l...
