摘要:It is clear that the escalating epidemic of insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes has reached a crisis level in the United States, that overweight and obesity are drivers, and that diets and the food system have major roles. It is also clear that nutrition and medical research point to increased healthful fruit and vegetable intake as a key part of any strategy to manage the crisis. But although increasing healthful intake entails both expanding production of fruits and vegetables and improvi...

摘要:Evaporation of sessile multicomponent droplets is ubiquitous in many common processes, such as printing, cooling, and coating. The evaporation rate is not evenly distributed across the surface of the droplet. As a result, there are regions with high evaporation rates in which the more volatile part evaporates preferentially; this can induce local surface tension gradients, which, in combination with density differences, can lead to flows within the droplet originating from local concentration ...

摘要:Biodegradable polylactic acid (PLA) plastics have been praised as an effective solution to the global pollution caused by petroleum-based plastics, and their widespread use in food packaging and disposable tableware has resulted in increased oral exposure to PLA microplastics (PLA-MPs). Despite their eco-friendly and biodegradable reputation, the in vivo behaviors of PLA-MPs concerning fermentation, carbon cycle, and adverse effects remain unknown. Here, we showed that gut microbiota from the ...

摘要:Wnt signaling orchestrates gene expression in a plethora of processes during development and adult cell homeostasis via the action of nuclear beta-catenin. Yet, little is known about how beta-catenin generates context-specific transcriptional outcomes. Understanding this will reveal how aberrant Wnt/beta-catenin signaling causes neoplasia specifically of the colorectal epithelium. We have previously identified the transcription factor TBX3 as a tissue-specific component of the Wnt/beta-catenin...

摘要:In 2013, Lee, Li, and Zelevinsky introduced combinatorial objects called compatible pairs to construct the greedy bases for rank-2 cluster algebras, consisting of indecomposable positive elements including the cluster monomials. Subsequently, Rupel extended this construction to the setting of generalized rank-2 cluster algebras by defining compatible gradings. We find a class of combinatorial objects which we call tight gradings. Using this, we give a directly computable, manifestly positive, ...

摘要:Immune checkpoint inhibitors such as anti-Programmed Death-1 antibodies (aPD-1) can be effective in treating advanced cancers. However, many patients do not respond, and the mechanisms underlying these differences remain incompletely understood. In this study, we profile a cohort of patients with locally advanced or metastatic basal cell carcinoma undergoing aPD-1 therapy using single-cell RNA sequencing, high-definition spatial transcriptomics in tumors and draining lymph nodes, and spatial i...

摘要:Many domesticated species exhibit remarkable phenotypic diversity. In nature, selection produces not only divergence but also convergence when organisms experience similar selective pressures. Whether artificial selection during domestication also produces convergence has received little attention. Three-dimensional shape analysis of domestic cat and dog skulls demonstrated convergence at multiple levels. Most broadly, cats and dogs have both diversified greatly: equaling or exceeding the morp...

摘要:At high concentration, long Watson/Crick (WC) double-helixed DNA forms columnar crystal or liquid crystal phases of linear, parallel duplex chains packed on periodic lattices. This can also be a structural motif of short NA oligomers such as the 5'- GTAC-3' studied here, which makes four-base WC duplexes having hydrophobic blunt ends. End-to-end aggregation then assembles these duplexes into columns and columnar phases are stabilized, in spite of breaks in the double helix every four bases. Bu...

摘要:Hepatitis E virus (HEV) genotype 1 (HEV-1) infection in pregnant women is associated with adverse outcomes of pregnancy including fulminant hepatic failure, fetal loss, premature birth, and neonatal mortality, although the underlying mechanisms remain largely unclear. In this study, we first demonstrated that HEV-1 robustly infects pregnant gerbils and causes pregnancy-associated adverse outcomes, which were recorded in 4/6 HEV-1-infected but only 1/5 in PBS-inoculated pregnant gerbils. Howeve...

摘要:China's shale gas production has grown annually by 21% since 2017 with long-term national energy strategy calling for continued expansion. This large-scale shale gas development is challenged by constraints on water supply. It requires over 6,000 new wells to be drilled within the Yangtze River Basin in South China-one of China's most populated regions with sensitive ecological and geological conditions, posing significant environmental threats to the hydrosphere, atmosphere, and biosphere. Hy...
