摘要:Bitter taste sensing is mediated by type 2 taste receptors (TAS2Rs (also known as T2Rs)), which represent a distinct class of G-protein-coupled receptors1. Among the 26 members of the TAS2Rs, TAS2R14 is highly expressed in extraoral tissues and mediates the responses to more than 100 structurally diverse tastants2-6, although the molecular mechanisms for recognizing diverse chemicals and initiating cellular signalling are still poorly understood. Here we report two cryo-electron microscopy str...

摘要:Organelles called lysosomes fuse with cargo-carrying vesicles and degrade the cargo molecules. How lysosomes maintain their size despite constant vesicle fusion was unclear, but now factors that aid organelle fission have been found.

摘要:Growing concern surrounds the impact of social media platforms on public discourse(1-4) and their influence on social dynamics(5-9), especially in the context of toxicity(10-12). Here, to better understand these phenomena, we use a comparative approach to isolate human behavioural patterns across multiple social media platforms. In particular, we analyse conversations in different online communities, focusing on identifying consistent patterns of toxic content. Drawing from an extensive datase...

摘要:Scientists have designed a liquid that behaves as both a solid and a fluid owing to the presence of tiny gas-filled capsules. An unusual relationship between pressure and volume enables this material to grasp fragile objects.

摘要:More than a quarter of the world's tropical forests are exploited for timber 1 . Logging impacts biodiversity in these ecosystems, primarily through the creation of forest roads that facilitate hunting for wildlife over extensive areas. Forest management certification schemes such as the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) are expected to mitigate impacts on biodiversity, but so far very little is known about the effectiveness of FSC certification because of research design challenges, predominan...

摘要:The immune system has a critical role in orchestrating tissue healing. As a result, regenerative strategies that control immune components have proved effective 1,2 . This is particularly relevant when immune dysregulation that results from conditions such as diabetes or advanced age impairs tissue healing following injury 2,3 . Nociceptive sensory neurons have a crucial role as immunoregulators and exert both protective and harmful effects depending on the context 4-12 . However, how neuro-im...
