摘要:The kinase MAPKAPK2 regulates cell survival, proliferation, and death, and is upregulated in colorectal carcinoma (CRC) where it is associated with tumor growth and progression. However, how it regulates tumor progression in conjunction with other signaling pathways, such as MEK/ERK, remains elusive. Solid tumors are often subjected to metabolic stress, notably glucose deprivation. Here, we demonstrate that MAPKAPK2 protein levels in CRC regulate cell fate decision during stress conditions, su...

摘要:Despite the economic importance of lithium, there is considerable disagreement over the processes that concentrate it and other rare metals in pegmatite-type lithium deposits. Two main processes have been invoked, namely extreme differentiation of a peraluminous granitic magma and direct anatexis of a sedimentary protolith. We use geochemical modeling to quantify lithium enrichment via these two processes from a study of the Jiajika lithium pegmatite field, one of the largest of its type in th...

摘要:Wild dromedary camels in the Arabian Peninsula and Africa have harbored antibodies against Middle East Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus (MERS-CoV) for decades, predating zoonotic spillover to humans. However, the potency, specificity, and structural characteristics of these antibodies remain poorly understood. Here, we characterize the antibody responses of naturally infected wild dromedary camels in Tunisia, a MERS-CoV-endemic region. Plasma antibodies from nine camels exhibited variable neut...

摘要:Droplets on super-repellent materials adopt the shape of pearls, which makes them highly mobile, owing to the conjunction of low contact line pinning with small dynamical friction. This property is especially valuable when drops are viscous, a case where we expect super-repellency to minimize the friction associated with viscosity. Here, we report that viscous droplets on highly repellent inclines can have two modes of descent, depending on the way they are deposited: either they run at the fa...

摘要:Hydrophobins are functional amyloids conserved in filamentous fungi. They act as a protective coat in the fibrous form, called rodlet. Rodlets further assemble to form dense films where they are bundled and densely aligned, contributing to the hydrophobicity of the mycelium surface. The mechanism of this dense film formation is completely unknown. Here, we used high-speed atomic force microscopy to directly observe the structural dynamics of rodlet bundling and subsequent film formation by hyd...

摘要:Alphaviruses establish persistent infections in mosquito vectors despite robust antiviral RNA interference (RNAi) pathways, suggesting that they employ mechanisms to counteract host immunity. We demonstrate that the nsP2 protein of Sindbis virus (SINV), the prototype alphavirus, functions as a viral suppressor of RNA silencing in Aedes aegypti mosquitoes. Using a SINV mutant (2V) that prevents cleavage at the nsP2-nsP3 junction, we show that proper proteolytic processing to release mature nsP2...

摘要:James Dewey Watson who died on November 7, 2025, at the age of 97, was a towering figure in 20th century life science. With Francis Crick, he determined the structure of DNA, laying the foundation of modern biology; he made Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory one of the world's great biomedical research institutes and a center for professional education in molecular biology and neuroscience; he established the Human Genome Project and ensured that research on the associated ethical, legal, and socia...

摘要:Pluralistic ignorance-the systematic misperception of others' attitudes-can entrench suboptimal norms, yet its dynamics remain poorly understood. We develop a mathematical model of the coevolution of actions, private attitudes, and beliefs about others, with societal tightness as a central parameter. Our framework integrates theories of spirals of silence, preference falsification, and cultural mismatch into a single dynamic system capturing the effects of material payoffs, cognitive forces, a...
