摘要:The blood-brain barrier (BBB) protects the central nervous system from infections or harmful substances(1); its impairment can lead to or exacerbate various diseases of the central nervous system(2-4). However, the mechanisms of BBB disruption during infection and inflammatory conditions(5,6) remain poorly defined. Here we find that activation of the pore-forming protein GSDMD by the cytosolic lipopolysaccharide (LPS) sensor caspase-11 (refs. (7-9)), but not by TLR4-induced cytokines, mediates...

摘要:Despite tremendous efforts in the past decades, relationships among main avian lineages remain heavily debated without a clear resolution. Discrepancies have been attributed to diversity of species sampled, phylogenetic method and the choice of genomic regions(1-3). Here we address these issues by analysing the genomes of 363bird species(4) (218taxonomic families, 92% of total). Using intergenic regions and coalescent methods, we present a well-supported tree but also a marked degree of discor...

摘要:Electro-optical photonic integrated circuits (PICs) based on lithium niobate (LiNbO3) have demonstrated the vast capabilities of materials with a high Pockels coefficient(1,2). They enable linear and high-speed modulators operating at complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor voltage levels(3) to be used in applications including data-centre communications(4), high-performance computing and photonic accelerators for AI(5). However, industrial use of this technology is hindered by the high cost p...

摘要:A phenomenon that affects the magnetic fields of rotating bodies could be involved in recurring changes in the Sun's behaviour, which are related to a periodic flipping of its field. The proposal is a fresh take on this strange effect.

摘要:Cobalamin (vitamin B-12, herein referred to as B-12) is an essential cofactor for most marine prokaryotes and eukaryotes(1,2). Synthesized by a limited number of prokaryotes, its scarcity affects microbial interactions and community dynamics(2-4). Here we show that two bacterial B-12 auxotrophs can salvage different B-12 building blocks and cooperate to synthesize B-12. A Colwellia sp. synthesizes and releases the activated lower ligand alpha-ribazole, which is used by another B-12 auxotroph, ...
