摘要:Understanding mesoscale structural dynamics of precipitation-strengthened alloys is essential for optimizing the mechanical performances of these alloys. Herein, we establish a multimodal coherent X-ray diffraction imaging framework for spatiotemporal mapping of mesoscale structural dynamics in precipitation-strengthened alloys. As a demonstrative application, we visualized the structural evolution in Mg97Zn1Gd2 during isothermal annealing at 700 K, revealing real-time dynamics of nucleation, ...

摘要:Pseudouridylation is a prevalent RNA modification occurring in transfer RNAs (tRNAs), ribosomal RNAs (rRNAs), small non-coding RNAs (snoRNAs), and has been most recently identified in mRNAs and lncRNAs. Emerging evidence suggests that this dynamic RNA modification is implicated in altering gene expression by regulating RNA stability, modulating translation elongation, and modifying amino acid substitution rates. However, the role of pseudouridylation in infection is poorly understood. Herein, ...

摘要:We propose a theoretical framework and a cost-effective automated method for the interpretation of prosodic messages (e.g., chunking of information, emphasis, conversation action, emotion). At the core of the proposal is a hierarchy of layered prosodic messages that co-occur within the same intonation unit (0.5 to 2 s long). Motivated by this hierarchy, a procedure for the differential detection of three such co-occurring nonverbal messages is then described. In way of implementation, we produ...

摘要:The hyperpolarization-activated cyclic nucleotide-gated (HCN) channel is a voltage-gated cation channel that plays a crucial role in regulating cellular excitability, especially cardiac pacemaker cells and neurons. Its dysregulation is linked to heart diseases such bradycardia and neurological disorders such as epilepsy, Parkinson's disease, and neuropathic pain. Structural and functional studies have revealed that the S4 voltage sensor the HCN channel moves downward during hyperpolarization. ...

摘要:Despite the clinical significance of many nonenveloped viruses, the molecular mechanisms of their internalization and membrane penetration are not well understood. Rotaviruses (RVs) are nonenveloped double- stranded RNA viruses and the leading cause of severe dehydrating diarrhea in infants and young children. We identified fatty acid 2- hydroxylase (encoded by FA2H) in the fatty acid 2- hydroxylation pathway as a proviral gene that supports RV infection. Genetic ablation of FA2H interfered wi...

摘要:Environmental stimuli, including the exposure to ultraviolet (UV)-B light, are known to play a role in the modulation of immune-mediated mechanisms in multiple sclerosis (MS). In experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE), we have shown that UV-B irradiation ameliorates disease outcome by regulatory T cells (Treg) expansion. Moreover, the UV-B-mediated induction of Treg numbers was also observed in MS. The aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR) can be activated by environmental factors including...

摘要:12/15-lipoxygenase (12/15-LOX, Alox15) generates bioactive oxygenated lipids during inflammation, however its homeostatic role(s) in normal healing are unclear. Here, the role of 12/15-LOX in resolving skin wounds was elucidated, focusing on how its lipids act together in physiologically relevant amounts. In mice, wounding caused acute appearance of 12/15-LOX-expressing macrophages and stem cells, coupled to early generation of similar to 12 monohydroxy-oxylipins and enzymatically oxidized pho...

摘要:For over 5,000 y, chanting has been practiced across many Western and Eastern traditions. However, there is hardly any empirical research on 1) whether chants from across the globe share common acoustic properties, 2) whether these acoustic features make them distinct from other human vocalizations, and 3) the extent to which they may positively impact listeners' well-being. Here, we collected 242 chants belonging to seven distinct traditions and associated with a wide range of language famili...

摘要:Ferrous chloride-rich silicic fluid and melt infiltration led to the decarbonation of dolomitic marble in the Chinese Sulu ultrahigh-pressure metamorphic terrain under temperatures ranging from 670 to 800 degrees C, pressures from the aragonite + albite to calcite stability fields and the oxygen fugacities between the hematite-magnetite and pyrite-pyrrhotite-magnetite buffers, resulting in the formation of olivine marble and diopsidite. The inclusions in zircons trapped during the decarbonatio...
