摘要:Generation of membrane curvature is fundamental to cellular function. Recent studies have established that the glycocalyx, a sugar-rich polymer layer at the cell surface, can generate membrane curvature. While there have been some theoretical efforts to understand the interplay between the glycocalyx and membrane bending, there remain open questions about how the properties of the glycocalyx affect membrane bending. For example, the relationship between membrane curvature and the density of gl...

摘要:Nonanalytic Bloch eigenstates at isolated band degeneracy points exhibit singular behavior in the quantum metric. Here, a description of superfluid weight for zero- energy flat bands in proximity to other high-energy bands is presented, where they together form a singular band gap system. When the singular band gap closes, the geometric and conventional contributions to the superfluid weight as a function of the superconducting gap exhibit different cross-over behaviors. The scaling behavior o...

摘要:Species- level networks emerge as the combination of interactions spanning multiple individuals, and their study has received considerable attention over the past 30 y. However, less is known about the structure of interaction configurations within species, even though individuals are the actual interacting units in nature. We compiled 46 empirical, individual- based, interaction networks on plant- animal seed dispersal mutualisms, comprising 1,037 plant individuals across 29 species from vari...

摘要:Hepatitis B virus (HBV) poses a significant global health challenge, necessitating the urgent development of curative therapeutics. However, this progress is impeded by the lack of robust, immunocompetent preclinical animal models due to HBV's strict species specificity. We previously showed that vector- mediated expression of the HBV entry receptor, fully susceptible to HBV infection. In this study, we have generated transgenic macaques expressing hNTCP, marking the creation of the first tran...

摘要:Mucosal- associated invariant T (MAIT) cells are unconventional T cells that mediate rapid antimicrobial immune responses to antigens derived from microbial riboflavin pathway metabolites presented by the evolutionarily conserved MR1 molecules. MAIT cells represent a large pre- expanded T cell subset in humans and are involved in both protective immunity and inflammatory immunopathology. However, what controls the functional heterogeneity of human MAIT cell responses is still largely unclear. ...

摘要:Arousal refers to changes in brain- body state underpinning motivated behavior but lacks a proper definition and taxonomy. Neuroscience and psychology textbooks offer surprisingly different views on what arousal is, from a global brain-wide modulation of neuronal activity to a multidimensional construct, with specific brain-body patterns tuned to a given situation. The huge number of scientific articles mentioning arousal (similar to 50,000) highlights the importance of the concept but also ex...

摘要:Despite growing awareness of their importance in soil ecology, the genetic and physiological traits of bacterial predators are still relatively poorly understood. In the course of a Myxococcus xanthus predator evolution experiment, we identified a class of genotypes leading to enhanced predation against diverse species. RNA- seq analysis demonstrated that this phenotype is linked to the constitutive activation of a predation- specific program. Functional analysis of the mutations accumulated a...
