摘要:Recent scanning-tunneling microscopy on hole-doped Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8, one of the materials of the cuprate family, finds a long-range ordered spontaneous splitting of the energy levels of oxygen orbitals inside the CuO2 unit cells [S. Wang etal., Nat. Mat. 23, 492-498 (2024)]. This spontaneous intra-unit-cell orbital ordering, also known as electronic nematicity, breaks C4 symmetry and is thought to arise from the Coulomb interaction (denoted by Vpp) between oxygen px and py electrons. In this work...

摘要:Analyzing cardiac pulse waveforms offers valuable insights into heart health and cardiovascular disease risk, although obtaining the more informative measurements from the central aorta remains challenging due to their invasive nature and limited noninvasive options. To address this, we employed a laboratory- developed cuff device for high- resolution pulse waveform acquisition and constructed a spectral machine learning model to nonlinearly map the brachial wave components to the aortic site....

摘要:Arp2/3 complex generates branched actin networks essential for numerous motile functions of the cell. It comprises seven subunits: actin- related proteins (Arps) 2 and 3 and five scaffolding subunits (ArpC1-5). The complex adopts two major conformations: inactive, with the Arps interacting end- to- end, and active, with the Arps aligned side- by- side like subunits in the actin filament. Activation involves several cofactors, including ATP, WASP- family nucleation- promoting factors (NPFs), ac...

摘要:Understanding the evolving dynamics of the brain throughout life is pivotal for anticipating and evaluating individual health. While previous research has described age effects on spectral properties of neural signals, it remains unclear which ones are most indicative of age- related processes. This study addresses this gap by analyzing resting- state data obtained from magnetoencephalography (MEG) in 350 adults (18 to 88 y). We employed advanced time- series analysis at the brain region level...

摘要:We recently reported that microinjection of Xenopus nodal- related (xnr) mRNAs into beta- catenin- depleted Xenopus embryos rescued a complete dorsal axis. Xnrs mediate the signal of the Nieuwkoop center that induces the Spemann-Mangold organizer in the overlying mesoderm, a process inhibited by the Nodal antagonist Cerberus-short (CerS). However, beta- catenin also induces a second signaling center in the dorsal prospective ectoderm, designated the Blastula Chordin and Noggin Expression (BCNE...

摘要:Clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) is the predominant human renal cancer with surging incidence and fatality lately. Hyperactivation of hypoxia- inducible factor (HIF) and mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) signaling are the common signatures in ccRCC. Herein, we employed spontaneous ccRCC model to demonstrate the indispensability of an underappreciated Ser/Thr kinase, CDKL3, in the initiation and progression of ccRCC. Ablation of CDKL3 does not affect normal kidney, but abrogates Akt-m...

摘要:Chimeric hemagglutinins (cHA) appear to be promising for the design and development of universal influenza vaccines. Influenza A group 1 cHAs, cH5/1, cH8/1, and cH11/1, comprising an H1 stem attached to either an H5, H8, or H11 globular head, have been used sequentially as vaccine immunogens in human clinical trials and induced high levels of broadly protective antibodies. Using X- ray crystallography and negative- stain electron microscopy, we determined structures of cH5/1, cH8/1, and cH11/1...

摘要:It is undeniable that, by any metric, geometry plays a central role in our understanding of the physical world. From celestial mechanics (1) to soap bubbles (2) and from optics (3) to gravity (4), the rigor of geometric logic intoxicates our thinking. Indeed, because of their intrinsic elegance and potential application, tools have been developed to make materials that assemble into a targeted topography. Whether it be through the techniques of origami (5-7), thermal activation of local materi...
