摘要:Breast cancer has now overtaken lung cancer as the world's leading cancer, yet detecting and implementing effective therapies remains a significant challenge. Substantial advances have been made in photothermal therapy (PTT), where photosensitizers use photonic energy to induce localized hyperthermia for cancer eradication. This pioneering approach is gaining traction in clinical settings. However, traditional PTT faces inherent limitations, including the risk of damage to neighboring healthy ...

摘要:Aberrant activation and overexpression of the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) occurs in various solid cancers and often correlates with poor outcome. The clinical benefit from EGFR-targeted therapies is usually short-lived, with resistance being driven by tumor heterogeneity and an immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment (TME). To address these limitations, we developed Targeted Apoptotic Immune Modulators (TAIM), a nonviral nanoparticle platform for the targeted delivery of polyinosi...

摘要:Coherent superposition of electronic states, created by ionizing a molecule, can initiate ultrafast dynamics of the electron density. Correlation between nuclear and electron motions, however, typically dissipates the electronic coherence in only a few femtoseconds, especially in larger and more flexible molecules. We, therefore, use ab initio semiclassical dynamics to study decoherence in a sequence of analogous organic molecules of increasing size and find, surprisingly, that extending the c...

摘要:Voltage-gated calcium (CaV) channels are pivotal in cellular signaling due to their selective calcium ion permeation upon membrane depolarization. While previous studies have established the highly selective permeability of CaV channels, the detailed molecular mechanism remains elusive. Here, we use extensive atomistic molecular dynamics simulations to elucidate the mechanisms governing ion permeation and valence selectivity in CaV1 channels. Employing the electronic continuum correction metho...

摘要:Partial melting of metasedimentary rocks is generally accepted as the source of peraluminous Himalayan leucogranites-they are commonly considered as pure S-type (sedimentary source) granites. Here, a uniquely comprehensive geochronological and geochemical dataset shows that partial melting of metaigneous rocks in the eastern Himalaya produced peraluminous leucogranites-these supposed S-type leucogranites have I-type (igneous) sources. Inherited magmatic zircons from leucogranites and metaigneo...

摘要:New evidence on the timing of early angiosperm evolution is presented through the discovery of four well-dated tricolpate pollen grains from the Early Cretaceous midlatitudes. Recovered from nearshore marine sediments in the Lusitanian Basin of Portugal, these fossils significantly expand the pre-Aptian tricolpate pollen record and document a greater number of pre-Aptian tricolpate grains in the midlatitudes than previously recognized. The fossil evidence was obtained through the innovative ap...

摘要:A kinetic model coupling prebiotically plausible synthesis of enantioenriched proteinogenic amino acids with catalytic peptide ligation leads to an autocatalytic network that may exhibit symmetry breaking and chiral amplification, providing a feasible route to the emergence of biological homochirality. We show that symmetry breaking leading to chiral amplification can occur in two ways: a constructive mechanism in which dimers catalyze the synthesis of monomers of the same enantiomer, and a de...

摘要:While most people believe that women (vs. men) experience more discriminatory treatment at work, especially in male-dominated professions, relatively few women report experiencing such treatment themselves. These low levels of reporting may arise either because discriminatory treatment has declined, even while laypeople's assumptions of widespread discrimination persist, or because it is difficult for individuals to know when they are experiencing discriminatory treatment, leading to underrepo...

摘要:The natural products actinonin and matlystatin feature an N-hydroxy-2-pentyl-succinamyl (HPS) chemophore that facilitates metal chelation and confers their metalloproteinase inhibitory activity. Actinonin is the most potent natural inhibitor of peptide deformylase (PDF) and exerts antimicrobial and herbicidal bioactivity by disrupting protein synthesis. Here, we used a genomics-led approach to identify candidate biosynthetic gene clusters (BGCs) hypothesized to produce HPS-containing natural p...

摘要:Cell-membrane proteins are critical mediators of signal transduction, playing essential roles in disease occurrence and progression. The emerging LYTACs (Lysosome-targeting chimeras) technology combines drug-targeting strategies with lysosomal degradation, providing a novel approach to drug development and offering new possibilities for disease therapy. However, the clinical applicability of current LYTAC degraders is limited by the variable expression of lysosome-targeting receptors (LTRs) in...
