摘要:High-grade gliomas (HGGs) are aggressive brain tumors with poor prognosis, driven in part by metabolic and epigenetic adaptations. Methionine metabolism supports HGG growth by supplying S-adenosylmethionine for methylation reactions, yet how nutrient availability influences chromatin organization in HGG remains incompletely understood. Using an immunocompetent mouse model of HGG, we found that dietary methionine restriction reduced tumor proliferation, extended survival, and induced partial nu...

摘要:Enzymes are fundamental to life, providing the rapid reactions and specificity needed to sustain biological processes. While we have overcome the first major challenge in understanding enzymes-identifying their reaction mechanisms-the second major challenge of quantifying the contributions of each catalytic interaction and molecular mechanism remains largely unmet. In particular, hydrogen bonds are ubiquitous in enzyme active sites, yet their quantitative contributions to enzyme catalysis have...

摘要:Generative AI algorithms such as the transformer and diffusion models have greatly empowered de novo design of proteins capable of specifically interacting with designated structural sites on another protein. Most of these design methods employ a top-down approach, in which an overall protein shape is generated by an AI model to pack against a given structural site, followed by sequence design to optimize the interaction. Despite being trained on limited protein complex structures available in...

摘要:Trophoblasts are multifunctional cells in the placenta and essential for normal pregnancy. Although trophoblast dysfunction can cause pregnancy complications, the underlying mechanisms remain unclear, and effective treatments are limited, partly because of the scarcity of appropriate experimental models. We previously reported the derivation of human trophoblast stem cells (hTSCs) from 1st-trimester placentas and blastocysts, providing a powerful tool to investigate human trophoblast developme...

摘要:The natural course of infantile hemangioma (IH), a benign vascular infantile tumor, is marked by the initial rapid proliferation of dystrophic capillaries, followed by a regression phase, which is either spontaneous or induced by the first line treatment propranolol. Although endothelial cells have been at the center of most studies, the role of stromal cells in this vascular remodeling has remained unclear. Telocytes, which are stromal cells that may be targeted by propranolol, are involved i...

摘要:Many urban indicators predominantly focus on static outcomes, failing to capture the dynamic nature of urbanization. Here, we introduce the concept of the Urban Pulse to characterize urbanization as a process of continual spatiotemporal change. Using dense time series remote sensing data, we operationalize the Urban Pulse for six cities that represent diverse development levels, economies, and geographies: Seattle, Shenzhen, Lagos, Mumbai, Dubai, and Mexico City. We then use the Urban Pulse to...

摘要:Joint effect of cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) and regulatory T cells (Tregs) can drive immunosuppression in high-grade serous ovarian cancer (HGSOC), thereby promoting tumor metastasis and limiting the clinical benefit of PD-1/PD-L1 blockade. However, the mechanistic crosstalk between CAFs and Tregs remains unclear. By integrating bulk RNA-seq, single-cell RNA-seq datasets, and spatial transcriptomics datasets with functional assays, we identified a population of TGF-beta 1-driven Greml...

摘要:Hematopoiesis is tightly linked to an organism's metabolic state, yet the molecular sensors that convert nutrient availability into hematopoietic output remain poorly understood. Here, we identify a fructose-sensitive gustatory receptor, BmGr9, as a cell-intrinsic nutrient sensor that links circulating sugar levels to blood cell proliferation in the silkworm Bombyx mori. We show that fructose, whose concentration rises sharply after feeding, stimulates hematopoietic organ (HPO) proliferation t...

摘要:Does swidden agriculture, a prototypical coupled human and natural system, exhibit a process of adaptive self-organization in which cultural practices balance environmental constraints through adaptive feedback? Here, we investigate whether quantitative signatures of adaptive self-organization can be detected in a dataset consisting of 18,000+ contiguous swidden patches in 18 remote sensing images of swidden mosaics from tropical and subtropical regions globally. We find that the distributions...
