摘要:The bacterial flagellar motor drives bacterial swimming and chemotaxis by rotating helical flagellar filaments. When Escherichia coli navigates chemical gradients, the motor switches from counterclockwise (CCW) during forward swimming to clockwise (CW) during direction-changing tumbles. The motor responds indirectly to extracellular chemosensory input to membrane-bound chemoreceptors using an intervening intracellular signaling pathway. How the motor responds to its direct input signal- the di...

摘要:Species distribution models (SDMs) are essential tools for ecologists and conservationists because they can identify environmental determinants of species occurrences and predict species distributions. Unfortunately, most SDM algorithms rely on point- based or localized averages of environmental conditions and do not capture spatial heterogeneity and landscape patterns that shape species distributions. However, species-environment relationships are hierarchical, with different environmental fa...

摘要:Huntington's disease (HD) is a fatal neurodegenerative disorder caused by inheriting an expanded CAG repeat tract in the huntingtin gene (HTT) that further expands in somatic cells over an individual's lifetime. Genome-wide association studies have provided critical insight into factors that modify the course of disease. These include DNA repair genes that alter the rate of somatic expansion and other genes that do not appear to directly influence this process. One modifier gene is DNA ligase ...

摘要:Altermagnetism refers to a wide class of magnetic orders featuring magnetic sublattices with opposite spins related by rotational symmetries, resulting in nontrivial spin splitting and magnetic multipoles. However, the direct observation of the altermagnetic transition remains elusive. Here, by combining theoretical analysis, electrical transport, X-ray, and optical spectroscopies, we establish a phase diagram in hybrid molecular beam epitaxy-grown RuO2/TiO2 (110) films, mapping symmetries alo...

摘要:Cell growth rates exhibit cell-intrinsic cell-to-cell variability, which influences cell fitness and size homeostasis from bacteria to cancer. It remains unclear whether this variability arises from stochasticity in cell growth or division processes, or from cell-size-dependent growth regulation. To separate these potential sources of growth variability, single-cell growth rates need to be examined across different timescales. Here, we study cell size and growth regulation by tracking lymphocy...

摘要:Mechanoresponsive cell proliferation is a feature of growing tumors, despite the suppression of many other regulatory checkpoints in cancer, but the underlying cell-scale mechanisms driving this behavior have not yet been established. In this study, we propose a biophysical model for cell growth as governed by actively controlled osmolarity, which we integrate with a discrete particle framework to simulate growth and remodeling of breast cancer spheroids. Confinement and biomechanical feedback...

摘要:Schizophrenia has been linked to severely damaging de novo mutations in synaptic junction proteins, neurotransmitter receptors, transcription factors, and chromatin remodeling proteins. In a patient with schizophrenia in the absence of a family history of severe mental illness, we identified de novo nonsense mutation, INO80D p.Q568X, associated with both a truncated protein and partial nonsense-mediated decay. Three experiments were undertaken to evaluate the consequences of the mutation. 1) I...

摘要:Transposons drive genetic diversity and evolution by altering the genomic landscape over time. Here, we describe DELAYED ABAXIAL TRICHOMES (DAB), a Helitron/ RC transposable element in Arabidopsis thaliana that has a role in vegetative phase change and gametogenesis. A genome-wide association study (GWAS) for the timing of abaxial trichome development (an adult leaf trait) in A. thaliana revealed a conserved haplotype of polymorphisms within DAB that delays abaxial trichome production. CRISPR-...

摘要:Damage-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs) are well established as key mediators of innate immune activation; however, their functions in modulating adaptive immunity, particularly T cell responses, remain incompletely characterized. Here, we report the identification and functional characterization of NMI-a recently identified DAMP-as a regulator of T helper 17 (Th17) cell activity and its involvement in psoriasis pathogen esis. Elevated expression of NMI was observed in psoriatic skin lesi...

摘要:Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) have significantly improved the outcome of cancer treatment, but they also expose most patients to a variety of treatment-related adverse events (AEs). This study introduces a modified pharmacovigilance approach to identify ICI-related high-mortality AEs, a subset of treatment-related complications that are disproportionately reported with elevated fatality during ICI therapy. Utilizing large-scale pharmacovigilance data from 148,972 ICI-treated cases in the...
