摘要:Animals rely on identity signaling to navigate social relationships, assess potential mates, and avoid costly interactions. While species- and group-level recognition signals can provide fitness advantages by preventing inbreeding depression and hybridization, our understanding of the role that individual identity signals can play in mate choice is notably lacking. In species with coercive mating systems, females must carefully evaluate male behavior to minimize risks while also maximizing rep...

摘要:The extracellular matrix plays critical roles in orchestrating cell communication and behaviors in response to various extracellular signals. It is a complex network composed of proteins and polysaccharides, whose individual and synergistic roles in cellular signaling, structural integrity, and tissue homeostasis remain active areas of investigation. Here, we find that in the developing cerebral cortex, distinct glypicans, which are heparan sulfate proteoglycans, present very precise and compl...

摘要:Precise spatiotemporal regulation of parathyroid hormone (PTH) and PTH-related peptide signaling through the parathyroid hormone receptor 1 (PTH1R) is fundamental to skeletal development and metabolic bone remodeling, yet the intracellular mechanisms that fine-tune this signaling remain a central unanswered question. Here, we identify neurofibromin 2 (Nf2) as an essential regulator of PTH1R trafficking and signaling. Conditional knockout of Nf2 in chondrocytes results in short-limbed dwarfism,...

摘要:Many social insects respond to pathogens in ways that reduce pathogen transmission within their social groups, with behaviors such as grooming or removing infected individuals. This social immunity within a group has been compared to the immune response of multicellular organisms. However, we lack a theoretical framework for understanding both the possible evolutionary origins and consequences of social immunity. How restrictive are the conditions for the initial evolution of social immunity? ...

摘要:The unyielding antigenic drift of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), as well as the threat of future zoonotic sarbecovirus spillovers, has prompted the search for broadly neutralizing antibodies (bNAbs) to inform rational therapeutic and vaccine design. Here, we isolated and characterized 20 receptor binding domain (RBD)-directed bNAb lineages from a serially sampled SARS-CoV-2 patient who was infected and vaccinated during the early months of the pandemic. Thirteen ...

摘要:Ultrathin films of widely different materials exhibit a dramatic enhancement of projectile penetration resistance under high-velocity impact. Despite extensive simulations and experiments, a unifying physical explanation has remained elusive. Here we show that the specific penetration energy follows a general inverse-cube scaling law, Ep & lowast;(h)=Ep,infinity & lowast;+Bh-3, across chemically and structurally distinct systems. The inverse-cube scaling is traced to a finite-size correction t...

摘要:The coalescence time of bubbles in a liquid depends on the nature of the liquid, which determines both its surface thermodynamics and the molecular interactions between the gas/liquid interfaces, and on the geometry, prescribed by the curvature of the bubbles. Coalescence is well described in pure liquids that have the same composition in bulk and at interfaces and in which the interactions are attractive. In contrast, the mechanisms are poorly understood in more complex liquids in which coale...

摘要:Madhav Gadgil was an evolutionary ecologist and champion of governmental and intergovernmental policies for biodiversity conservation, human coexistence with nature, and indigenous rights to land, natural resources, and self-governance. He made foundational contributions to the development of biodiversity sciences, human ecology, people's traditional knowledge-and inherent rights to that knowledge as documented through biodiversity registers. Gadgil advocated a coherent policy integrating huma...

摘要:G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) enable chemical communication between cells and are involved in nearly all essential functions. They transduce signals via heterotrimeric G proteins and are regulated by internalization, a process which redirects them from the cell surface to internal compartments and enables diversified signaling through spatial reorganization. Beyond the receptor, a vast regulatory network exists to further control G-protein signaling. However, it is unclear whether these ...
