摘要:Polyene antifungals (PAs) have long constituted an irreplaceable lifesaving treatment for lethal fungal infections. However, PAs induce significant dose- dependent nephrotoxicity, primarily because of their binding to cholesterol in the renal cell membrane, which is structurally similar to their fungicidal target ergosterol in the fungal membrane. Efforts to optimize PAs have focused mainly on their mycosamine group and polyol chain, while the potential of the polyene chain remains underexplor...

摘要:Natural filaments, such as proteins, plant tendrils, octopus tentacles, and elephant trunks, can transform into arbitrary three-dimensional shapes that carry out vital functions. Their shape-morphing behavior arises from intricate patterning of active and passive regions, which are difficult to replicate in synthetic matter. Here, we introduce a filament-centric strategy for programmable shape morphing in which intrinsic curvature and twist are directly encoded within multimaterial elastomeric...

摘要:Knots, links, and entangled filaments appear in many physical systems in biology and engineering and their structural complexity is related to their function. In the context of emerging AI capabilities in predicting new physical structures, as well as in assisting mathematical proofs, the efficient computation of topological invariants and other metrics of entanglement becomes a considerable barrier to scientific advances. The computation of common measures of topological complexity, such as t...

摘要:In the process of investigating innate immune reactions against injected oncogenic cells in Drosophila, we noted that the homeodomain protein Engrailed, known since last century for its role in segmentation polarity in embryos, is reactivated in adult males where it considerably restricts the expected proliferation of these cells. Importantly, this effect was not induced following injection of selected pathogens or primary Drosophila embryonic cells. We show that the injection of these cells i...

摘要:Embodied accounts of morality propose that corporeal self-awareness helps restrain immoral actions. The Sense of Agency (SoA)-the feeling of controlling one's actions and their consequences-drops when individuals harm others. However, whether modulating SoA shifts moral behavior remains unclear. Parkinson's Disease (PD) offers a unique model to address this question, because dopaminergic dysfunction affects both SoA and moral decision-making. We tested 23 individuals with PD in ON and OFF dopa...

摘要:The Middle Awash study area of Ethiopia's Afar Rift features a composite strati-graphic thickness of >1 km. Near the top of this succession lie sediments of the lower Halibee member, comprising the Faro Daba and Chai Baro beds. The former are radioisotopically dated to similar to 100,000 y in age and contain abundant fossils and associated lithic artifacts representing the Middle Stone Age (MSA). Geological, paleontological, and archaeological datasets recovered from these sediments enlarge a ...

摘要:Cohesin is a conserved protein complex that mediates sister chromatid cohesion, chromosome condensation, gene regulation, and DNA repair. These processes rely on cohesin's ability to tether DNA and form chromatin loops, which depend on cohesin's ATP hydrolysis activity and Eco1-mediated acetylation of two lysines (K112 and K113 in budding yeast) in its Smc3 subunit. However, how cohesin's ATPase activity and acetylation integrate to control cohesin functions in vivo remains poorly understood. ...

摘要:Collagen mineralization is fundamental to the structure and mechanical properties of bone. Many in vitro models of collagen mineralization have been developed to understand the regulation, from the structure of collagen fibrils to the matrix noncollagenous proteins. However, most models using reconstituted collagen fibrils fail to reproduce preferential gap-zone mineralization, an important hallmark of natively mineralized collagen. This study focuses on the effect of chemical cross-linking on...
