摘要：The extent to which prophage proteins interact with eukaryotic macromolecules is largely unknown. In this work, we show that cytoplasmic incompatibility factor A (CifA) and B (CifB) proteins, encoded by prophage WO of the endosymbiont Wolbachia, alter long noncoding RNA (lncRNA) and DNA during Drosophila sperm development to establish a paternal-effect embryonic lethality known as cytoplasmic incompatibility (CI). CifA is a ribonuclease (RNase) that depletes a spermatocyte lncRNA important for...

摘要：During their evolution, amphibians have performed diverse and sometimes bizarre natural experiments in reproductive biology. Most members of the class, which includes frogs, salamanders, and caecilians, retain certain ancestral features, including courtship, external fertilization, egg laying (oviparity), hatching of larvae, metamorphosis in water, and emerging terrestrially. However, many frogs, salamanders, and especially caecilians have developed distinct and complex modes of egg protection...

摘要：Monitoring homeostasis is an essential aspect of obtaining pathophysiological insights for treating patients. Accurate, timely assessments of homeostatic dysregulation in deep tissues typically require expensive imaging techniques or invasive biopsies. We introduce a bioresorbable shape-adaptive materials structure that enables real-time monitoring of deep-tissue homeostasis using conventional ultrasound instruments. Collections of small bioresorbable metal disks distributed within thin, pH-re...
