摘要:Store- operated Ca2+ entry is a key signaling pathway controlled by the interaction of To avoid generating pathological effects, STIM1 must remain mostly inactive under content. It is not well understood how these conflicting requirements are met. Here we combine single- molecule FRET measurements of full- length dimeric STIM1 in lipid membranes with an AlphaFold2 structural model to describe the structure and regulation of the resting state. We show that STIM1 activity is controlled by the co...

摘要:Multi-nucleated cells exist in all domains of life, ranging from animals, plants, and fungi to single-celled organisms such as the slime mold Physarum polycephalum. The large cell size, in the case of Physarum reaching centimeters and more, challenges the coordination of nuclei activity as signals need to cross large distances. In search of a mechanism for fast long-ranged communication among nuclei, we quantify nuclei dynamics and cytoplasmic flows in Physarum's tubular network. We observe nu...

摘要:DNA methylation is a conserved epigenetic modification essential for maintaining genome stability. However, how methyltransferases maintain CG methylation within compact chromatin, including centromeres, remains unclear. In humans, CDCA7 is necessary for the inheritance of DNA methylation at juxta-centromeres. Mutations that impair its ability to bind chromatin result in Immunodeficiency, Centromeric Instability, and Facial Anomalies (ICF) syndrome, characterized by centromeric instability.To ...

摘要:Social information processing involves coordinated neural activity across distributed brain circuits, with the ventral hippocampus (vHPC) and medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC) playing pivotal roles. However, whether these regions employ distinct coding strategies for different social stimuli remains unclear. Using in vivo electrophysiological recordings in freely interacting mice, we show that although both regions respond to social cues, they engage divergent neural coding mechanisms. During so...

摘要:SARM1 is a neuronal Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) hydrolase that drives axonal degeneration and neuronal death by depleting NAD+, yet how NAD+ loss triggers axon loss and cell death has remained unclear. Here, we define a nonapoptotic death program downstream of endogenous SARM1 activation and NAD+ loss using a genetically tractable nonneuronal eHAP cell model. Upon NAD+ depletion, BAX is activated but caspase activation is suppressed due to APAF1 degradation via the E3 ligase HERC4...

摘要:Cloud optical properties and precipitation, which are crucial to weather and climate, are strongly influenced by cloud microphysical properties that are still poorly understood. Here, we develop a high-resolution time-correlated single-photon-counting lidar and apply it to observe cloud microphysical properties at one-centimeter range resolution in a convection chamber under well-controlled conditions. Together with concurrent in-situ measurements and theoretical analysis, our lidar observatio...

摘要:Type 1 narcolepsy (T1N), an autoimmune disease associated with a disruption of hypocretin/orexin neurons, has conserved genetic effects transcending cultures and ethnicities. We pooled data from 5,339 cases from China, Europe, Korea, Japan, and the United States to conduct the first transethnic genome-wide association study (GWAS) on age of onset. Only one strong GWAS significant effect was observed across all ethnicities, summarized by the presence of human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-DQB1*03:01,...

摘要:In the presence of a laminar shear flow, the diffusion of passive colloidal particles is enhanced in the direction parallel to the flow. This classical phenomenon is known as Taylor-Aris dispersion. Besides, microorganisms, such as active microswimmers, exhibit an effective diffusive behavior at long times. Combining the two ingredients above, a natural question then emerges on how the effective diffusion of active microswimmers is altered in shear flows-a widespread situation in natural envir...

摘要:The brain is a metabolically vulnerable organ as neurons have both high resting metabolic rates and the need for local rapid conversion of carbon sources to ATP during activity. Midbrain dopamine neurons are thought to be particularly vulnerable to metabolic perturbations, as a subset of these are the first to undergo degeneration in Parkinson's disease, a neurodegenerative disorder long suspected to be in part driven by deficits in mid-brain bioenergetics. In skeletal muscle, energy homeostas...

摘要:Acoustic levitation provides a unique method for manipulating small particles as it completely evades effects from gravity, container walls, or physical handling. These advantages make it a tantalizing platform for studying complex phenomena in many-particle systems. In most standing-wave traps, however, particles interact via acoustic scattering forces that cause them to merge into a single dense object. Here, we introduce a complementary approach that combines acoustic levitation with electr...
