摘要:Single- particle tracking has enabled quantitative studies of complex systems, providing nanometer localization precision and millisecond temporal resolution in heterogeneous environments. However, at micro- or nanometer scales, probe dynamics become inherently stochastic due to Brownian motion and complex interactions, leading to varied diffusion behaviors. Typically, analysis of such trajectory data involves certain moving- window operation and assumes the existence of some pseudo-steady sta...

摘要:Pathogen-derived nuclear localization signals (NLSs) enable vigorous nuclear invasion in the host by the virulence proteins harboring them. Herein, inspired by the robust nuclear import mechanism, we show that NLSs originating from the plant infection-associated Agrobacterium proteins VirD2 and VirE2 can be incorporated into the Cas9 system as efficient nuclear delivery enhancers, thereby improving the low gene-editing frequency in a model microalga, Chlamydomonas reinhardtii, caused by poor n...

摘要:Scholars and practitioners widely posit that listening to other people enhances efforts to persuade them. Listening may enhance persuasion by promoting cognitive processing, reducing defensiveness, and improving perceptions of the persuader. However, empirical tests of this widely theorized hypothesis are surprisingly scarce. We review the case for and against this hypothesis, arguing previous research has not sufficiently attended to reasons why listening may not enhance persuasion. We test t...

摘要:Unlike coffee and cream that homogenize when stirred, growing micro-organisms(e.g., bacteria, baker's yeast) can actively kill each other and avoid mixing. How dosuch antagonistic interactions impact the growth and survival of competing strains,while being spatially advected by turbulent flows? By using numerical simulations of acontinuum model, we study the dynamics of two antagonistic strains that are dispersedby incompressible turbulent flows in two spatial dimensions. A key parameter is th...

摘要:In wearable smart systems, continuous monitoring and accurate classification of dif-ferent sleep- related conditions are critical for enhancing sleep quality and preventing sleep- related chronic conditions. However, the requirements for device-skin coupling quality in electrophysiological sleep monitoring systems hinder the comfort and reli-ability of night wearing. Here, we report a washable, skin- compatible smart garment sleep monitoring system that captures local skin strain signals under...

摘要:While advances in genome editing technologies have simplified gene disruption in many organisms, the study of essential genes requires development of conditional disruption or knockdown systems that are not available in most organisms. Such is the case for Trypanosoma cruzi, a parasite that causes Chagas disease, a severely neglected tropical disease endemic to Latin America that is often fatal. Our knowledge of the identity of essential genes and their functions in T. cruzi has been severely ...

摘要:Experimental studies have shown that symbiotic relationships between arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi and host plants can regulate soil organic carbon (SOC) storage. Although the impacts of mycorrhiza are highly context- dependent, it remains unclear how these effects vary across broad spatial scales. Based on data from 2296 field sites across grassland ecosystems of China, here we show that mycorrhizal fungi symbiosis enhances SOC storage in the topsoil and subsoil through increasing plant d...

摘要:The Cassini missions have identified the tiger stripes on Enceladus as the source of both thermal emission and plume jets. The hot spots in the tiger stripes are highly localized, and the plumes suggest active hydrothermal processes within the subglacial ocean of Enceladus. However, understanding the mechanism responsible for the heat anomalies in the tiger stripes remains a challenge. About 60 y ago, geoscientist George Veronis proposed a model for cold water oceans, along with the classical ...
