摘要:An unwritten expectation in our everyday social interactions is that intimate personal information about someone-insider knowledge-is usually confined within close relationships. For example, it would be odd, or even unsettling, if a stranger knew about your favorite movie. Such expectations about who knows what about whom constitute a cornerstone of complex social behavior, but much remains unknown about their cognitive underpinnings and developmental origins. Drawing on parental report (Stud...

摘要:Transglutaminase 2 (TG2) is implicated in synucleinopathies including Parkinson's gation in vitro, and evidence for its activity is detected in Lewy bodies in human postmortem brains. Additionally, TG2 overexpression exacerbates alpha- Syn toxicity in double transgenic mice, while TG2 deletion mitigates the phenotype of alpha- Syn transgenic mice. Considering that TG2 is a multidomain and multifunctional protein, the present study was carried out to confirm that the transamidase activity of TG...

摘要:The acute inflammatory response is a highly coordinated programmed sequence that enables neutrophils to transmigrate from venules into tissues. Ideally self-limited, the active resolution phase produces specialized molecules that stimulate resolution and prevent collateral tissue damage from excessive neutrophil infiltration. The superfamily of pro-resolving molecules is termed specialized pro-resolving mediators including the essential polyunsaturated fatty acid-derived lipoxins, resolvins, p...

摘要:Dynamic regulation of auxin (indole-3-acetic acid; IAA) levels is crucial for proper plant growth and development and is finely regulated through biosynthesis, transport, metabolic inactivation, and signal transduction. While O-glucosylation of IAA is well established, the physiological significance of N-glucosylation pathways acting on IAA-amino acid conjugates remains largely unexplored. Here, we identify a UDP-glucosyltransferase in rice (Oryza sativa), designated IAAspGT, that catalyzes th...

摘要:Extreme weather events cause severe ecological disruptions to the marine environment and socioeconomic impacts, while also endangering the evidences of human history resting underwater. Storms, in particular, generate high-intensity currents that lead to substantial material loss and textural alteration. We present a quantitative risk assessment of underwater cultural heritage exposed to storm events, considering climate change and the vulnerability of historical stone materials. We monitored ...

摘要:Phase-change materials (PCMs) based on group IV, V, and VI elements, such as Ge, Sb, and Te, exhibit distinctive liquid-state features, including thermodynamic anomalies and unusual dynamical properties, which are believed to play a key role in their fast and reversible crystallization behavior. Antimony (Sb), a monoatomic PCM with ultrafast switching capabilities, stands out as the only elemental member of this group for which the properties of the liquid and supercooled states have so far re...

摘要:Embryonic genome activation (EGA) marks the onset of the embryonic program and enables the transition toward the first lineage specification. However, the molecular features of EGA and the transcription factors (TFs) orchestrating this process remain unclear. Here, by performing single- cell RNA- seq on bovine embryos, we reveal that major EGA is asynchronously initiated among blastomeres at the 8- cell stage. Integrative analyses reveal distinct protein accumulation compared with transcriptio...

摘要:Small cell carcinoma is a highly lethal cancer variant often found with neuroendocrine (NE) features, as exemplified by small cell lung cancer and small cell NE prostate cancer (SCPC). A genome- wide CRISPR dependency screen using SCPC models generated through human prostate cell transformation identifies a requirement for the transcription factor E2F3. E2F3 dependency is linked to RB inactivation, a near universal occurrence across small cell cancers. The requirement for E2F3 is shared by RB-...

摘要:Natural light is severely affected by human impact on Earth, yet little is known about the roles light receptors have outside vision and rhythmic processes, despite their tremendously wide abundance. Here we show that loss-of-function of the light-receptive cryptochrome (l-cry) in marine bristleworms significantly increases lifespan and adult size, similarly to wild-types reared in constant darkness. Quantitative transcriptomics revealed hormonal players crucial for invertebrate and vertebrate...

摘要:The representations of the face and oral cavity occupy a large but understudied portion of primary somatosensory cortex (S1 or area 3b) in primates. These studies are clearly important in processing food, taste, and vocalizations. Little is known about the neuronal representations of the teeth and tongue, their relationship with myeloarchitecture, and their cortical and thalamic connections in area 3b of strepsirrhine galagos. In owl and squirrel monkeys, and likely in macaque monkeys, the mos...
