摘要:From Rousseau onward, scholars have identified the transition to sedentary agriculture as crucial to the history of wealth inequality. Here, using the GINI project's global database on disparities in residential size, we examine the effects of important innovations in plant cultivation, animal husbandry, and traction on wealth inequality. Over a series of regional case studies, we find no evidence of major changes in residential disparity before or after these technological innovations became ...

摘要:Rapid social-ecological intensification is a recurrent feature of human history. It occurred in different forms and contexts; its outcomes may have been sustainable or transient. Until recently, such intensifications usually accompanied state formation: Consolidation of political power was often coupled with exponential increase in human exploitation of the environment of a given area. Here, we study one such case, uniquely well-documented through our rich paleoecological, archaeological, numi...

摘要:Pregnancy loss is a major problem in clinical medicine with devastating consequences for families. Next generation sequencing has improved our ability to identify underlying molecular causes, though over half of all cases lack a clear etiology. Here, we began with clinical evaluation combined with exome sequencing across independent families to identify bi-allelic candidate genetic variants in the Programmed Cell Death 2 (PDCD2) gene in multiple fetuses with nonimmune hydrops fetalis (NIHF). P...

摘要:Stomata, which are essential for the exchange of CO2 and water vapor between plant leaves and the atmosphere, are regulated by a variety of environmental and internal factors. In this study, we identified and characterized two genes, Guard Cell Turgor Maintaining 1 (GCT1) and its closest homolog GCT2, which encode rapidly accelerated fibrosarcoma (RAF)- like protein kinases that play a critical role in maintaining guard cell turgor in Zea mays. We found that overexpression of ZmGCT1 and ZmGCT2...

摘要:Demographic interaction processes play a pivotal role during episodes of cultural diffusion between different populations, particularly when these episodes can lead to competition for the same resources and geographic space. The diffusion of farming is one prototypical case within this broader scenario, where groups of incumbent hunter-gatherers occupied a space which would later be claimed by expanding farmers. In this work, we tackle such processes through a two-population mathematical model...

摘要:The human voltage-gated potassium channels KCNQ2, KCNQ3, and KCNQ5 can form homo-and heterotetrameric channels that are responsible for generating the neuronal M current and maintaining the membrane potential stable. Activation of KCNQ channels requires both the depolarization of membrane potential and phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate (PIP2). Here, we report cryoelectron microscopy structures of the human KCNQ5-calmodulin (CaM) complex in the apo, PIP2-bound, and both PIP2-and the activat...

摘要:Organic molecules preserved in ancient Martian rocks provide a critical record of the past habitability of Mars and could be chemical biosignatures. Experiments conducted by the Sample Analysis at Mars instrument onboard the Curiosity rover have previously reported several classes of indigenous chlorinated and sulfur-containing organic compounds in Gale crater sedimentary rocks, with chemical structures of up to six carbons. Here, we report the detection of decane (C10H22), undecane (C11H24), ...

摘要:Stimulant drugs that boost dopamine, like methylphenidate (MP), enhance attention and are effective treatments for attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Yet there is large individual variation in attentional capacity and response to MP. It is unclear whether this variation is driven by individual differences in relative density of dopamine receptor subtypes, magnitude of dopamine increases induced by MP, or both. Here, we extensively characterized the brain dopamine system with posi...

摘要:Religious leaders shape the attitudes and beliefs of their congregations. In a nationally representative sample of U.S. religious leaders (N = 1,600), the majority of which were of a Christian faith, we find that nearly 90% believe in anthropogenic climate change to some degree. From this 90%, a total of 60% believe humans play a major role and an additional 30% believe they play a role, but a more minor one. Yet roughly half have never discussed it with their congregation, and only a quarter ...
