摘要:Social evolution made larval honey bees dependent on adult colony members for feeding; they are confined to cells in waxen honeycombs and visited about 100 times per day by adult nurse bees. Based on organismal resource conservation theory, we predicted larvae have diminished olfactory capabilities at both the molecular and behavioral levels. Consistent with theory, larvae expressed very low levels of Orco, an essential gene for olfactory receptor (OR) function. By contrast, they showed higher...

摘要:CD8+ T cell-mediated cytotoxicity classically occurs through engagement of an alpha-beta T cell receptor (TCR alpha beta) with a peptide-class I major histocompatibility complex (pMHC). However, it is also known that cytotoxic CD8+ T lymphocytes (CTLs) can kill tumor cells in a pMHC-independent manner. The relative physiologic contribution and biological significance of pMHC-independent CTL killing remain unclear, and a receptor shared between CTLs and natural killer (NK) cells is generally in...

摘要:alpha-Synucleinopathies are devastating neurodegenerative diseases characterized by pathological accumulation of a neuronal protein, alpha-synuclein (alpha Syn). Lowering soluble alpha Syn levels is a promising therapeutic strategy to limit aggregation and neurotoxicity, but directly targeting this protein is hindered by its intrinsically disordered structure and other factors, such as its conformational heterogeneity and intracellular drug delivery barriers. Consequently, increasing attention...

摘要:Effort-based motivation varies widely across individuals and affects well-being, yet the molecular and neuronal mechanisms that set motivational capacity remain incompletely understood. Mitochondrial function is emerging as a critical regulator of behavior, and mitofusin-2 (MFN2) is a key mediator of mitochondrial fusion and endoplasmic reticulum-mitochondria coupling. Here, we asked how downregulation of Mfn2 in dopamine receptor type-1-expressing medium spiny neurons (D1-MSNs) contributes to...

摘要:Spatially controlling morphogenesis is a challenge for many organoid systems that manifests as a limited understanding of self-organization of differentiating cells and leads to a high degree of heterogeneity in organoid morphometrics. Current methods to grow organoids rely on temporal presentation of soluble cues that are not controllably delivered, and little is known about the role of the extracellular microenvironment in this process. Here, we present a material-based strategy to spatiotem...

摘要:Odor cues guide animals to food and mates. Different environmental conditions can create differently patterned odor plumes, making navigation more challenging. Prior work has shown that animals turn upwind when they detect odor and cast crosswind when they lose it. Animals with bilateral olfactory sensors can also detect directional odor cues, such as odor gradient and odor motion. It remains unknown how animals use these two directional odor cues to guide crosswind navigation in odor plumes w...

摘要:Particle deposition and migration within fractures can reorganize open void space into heterogeneous fracture-confined porous media (FCPM), yet the macroscopic flow behavior of these emergent systems remains unresolved. Here, Computational Fluid Dynamics-Discrete Element Method (CFD-DEM) simulations were used to resolve particle migration and deposition, whereas a coupled free-flow and seepage-flow model was employed to characterize fluid flow in FCPM. We find that at a fixed Reynolds number, ...

摘要:Mammalian cells are intrinsically soft, with Young's moduli typically ranging from 0.1 to 10.0 kPa depending on the organization of the F-actin cytoskeleton, rendering them highly susceptible to mechanical and environmental stresses. This inherent fragility severely constrains their manipulation and functional deployment under nonphysiological conditions. Here, we report a cryogenic dormancy-enabled silicification strategy that achieves deep integration of inorganic silica reinforcement within...

摘要:The mind-brain relationship is a foundational yet underexplored dimension of contemporary neuroscience, shaping research framing, data interpretation, and public communication. We conducted a large-scale international survey of 2,657 neuroscientists to assess their views on the mind-brain problem, free will, and the future of the discipline. Our results reveal a complex and sometimes paradoxical worldview. While 64% of participants endorse reductive physicalism-the view that mental activity is...
