摘要:Bacteriophages (phages) are well known to be one of the major driving forces in bacterial evolution. This also applies to virulent microorganisms, such as the major human pathogen Vibrio cholerae, whose pathogenic potential and epidemic proliferation largely depends on the interaction with environmental phages. Specifically, integration of the CTX phi phage genome into the first chromosome of V. cholerae also introduced the ctxAB genes, encoding the primary toxin responsible for the severe acu...

摘要:Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists, including long-acting semaglutide, are transformative anti-obesity therapies. However, emerging evidence indicates that weight loss may come at the expense of skeletal muscle mass, a tissue essential for mobility, metabolic regulation, and overall health. Here, we show that inhibition of the gerozyme 15-hydroxyprostaglandin dehydrogenase (15-PGDH), a prostaglandin-degrading enzyme that increases with injury and aging, improves muscle repair and streng...

摘要:The vestibular system of the inner ear provides head motion and orientation information required for maintaining balance and spatial orientation. Each of the five vestibular sensory organs contains type I and type II hair cells (HCs). Type I HCs are particularly notable for their evolutionary adaptability and unique calyceal synapses, in which the vestibular afferent nerve ending envelopes the HC body. In vitro studies indicate that calyceal synapses can transduce signals from HCs to afferents...

摘要:High-risk human papillomaviruses (HPVs) promote malignant progression through sustained expression of the viral oncoprotein E6, which drives degradation of the tumor suppressor p53 and creates an oncogenic dependency in HPV-positive cancers. Here, we identify a genotype-defined therapeutic vulnerability by selectively and irreversibly inactivating HPV-16 E6 through covalent targeting a cysteine proximal to its E6AP-binding interface. Pharmacologic inhibition of E6 restored p53 protein stabilit...

摘要:Every research university has a distribution of faculty research activity that is fueled by the external support from government, industry, and philanthropy. The large decreases in federal support proposed in 2025 by the Administration would dramatically alter the distribution of faculty research activity. Mean field game (MFG) theory is used to model federal support of faculty research assuming that each researcher seeks to maximize their funding according to a specified utility function. Mod...

摘要:Making predictions of global change relevant to individual communities is a critical challenge, especially where local impacts diverge from global predictions. While sea level is rising globally, in Greenland, sea level is predicted to fall over the coming century due to land rebound and sea surface lowering, consequences of glacial isostatic adjustment from both past and future ice loss. Here we present results of a US and Greenland scientific partnership, working with the community of Aasiaa...

摘要:Host-pathogen interactions are often characterized by spatial and temporal fluctuations in host density. Such variability may promote the evolution of phenotypic plasticity in pathogen virulence. However, it remains unclear how pathogens can reliably detect changes in host density. Here we show that some pathogens may exploit social cues, such as the presence of infected hosts, to gain indirect information about transmission opportunities when the density of susceptible hosts fluctuates. Our a...

摘要:In peripheral tissues, lipoprotein lipase (LPL) is secreted by parenchymal cells (adipocytes, myocytes) into the interstitial spaces, where it is captured by GPIHBP1 (a glycosylphosphatidylinositol-anchored protein of capillary endothelial cells) and escorted to the luminal surface of capillaries. The LPL inside capillaries hydrolyzes glycerolipids in the plasma lipoproteins, releasing fatty acids for parenchymal cells. In the central nervous system, LPL is synthesized by multiple cell types [...

摘要:T cell receptor (TCR) restriction by highly polymorphic major histocompatibility complex (MHC) proteins is a foundation of cellular immunity. Although the effects of MHC polymorphisms on peptide binding and selection are well established, how micropolymorphisms within MHC supertypes impact immune recognition is poorly understood. Here, we identified a mechanism through which the micropolymorphisms in two closely related HLA-A3 superfamily members govern TCR specificity. We previously showed th...
