摘要:Heart failure is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality 1,2 . Elevated intracardiac pressures and myocyte stretch in heart failure trigger the release of counter-regulatory natriuretic peptides, which act through their receptor (NPR1) to affect vasodilation, diuresis and natriuresis, lowering venous pressures and relieving venous congestion 3-8 . Recombinant natriuretic peptide infusions were developed to treat heart failure but have been limited by a short duration of effect 9,10 . Here w...

摘要:Viral glycoproteins drive membrane fusion in enveloped viruses and determine host range, tissue tropism and pathogenesis(1). Despite their importance, there is a fragmentary understanding of glycoproteins within the Flaviviridae(2), a large virus family that include pathogens such as hepatitis C, dengue and Zika viruses, and numerous other human, animal and emergent viruses. For many flaviviruses the glycoproteins have not yet been identified, for others, such as the hepaciviruses, the molecul...

摘要:The human brain is usually considered to be beyond the reach of most immune cells. However, analysis of people who have brain tumours has revealed tumour-targeting T cells of the immune system in skull bones near the cancer site.

摘要:When sustained for megayears (refs. 1,2), high-power jets from supermassive black holes (SMBHs) become the largest galaxy-made structures in the Universe3. By pumping electrons, atomic nuclei and magnetic fields into the intergalactic medium (IGM), these energetic flows affect the distribution of matter and magnetism in the cosmic web4-6 and could have a sweeping cosmological influence if they reached far at early epochs. For the past 50 years, the known size range of black hole jet pairs ende...

摘要:Approximately 40% of the mammalian proteome undergoes N-terminal methionine excision and acetylation, mediated sequentially by methionine aminopeptidase (MetAP) and N-acetyltransferase A (NatA), respectively(1). Both modifications are strictly cotranslational and essential in higher eukaryotic organisms(1). The interaction, activity and regulation of these enzymes on translating ribosomes are poorly understood. Here we perform biochemical, structural and in vivo studies to demonstrate that the...

摘要:Telling people about the consensus among scientists can help, study finds, but researchers think that personal conversations are needed, too.
