摘要:Reptiles in nature have evolved excellent adhesion systems to adapt to complex natural environments, inspired by which high-performance bioinspired dry adhesives have been consistently created by precisely replicating the natural structures. Stiffness gradient, as a special feature evolved in reptilian adhesion systems, offers significant advantages in enhancing adhesion adaptation and stability.However, it remains a challenge to accurately replicate the geometrical morphology and soft-rigid c...

摘要:The occurrence of coinfections, where hosts are simultaneously infected by multiple pathogens, is widespread in nature and has significant negative impacts on global health. In humans, over one-sixth of the world's population is affected by coinfections, contributing to several diseases. However, despite the broad ecological relevance and impact on global health, most biomedical research has focused on understanding interactions between a single host and a single pathogen. The extent to which ...

摘要:The view that words are arbitrary is a foundational assumption about language, used to set human languages apart from nonhuman communication. We present here a study of the alignment between the semantic and phonological structure (systematicity) of and Spanish. Across all three languages, words that are semantically related are more likely to be phonologically related, highlighting systematic alignment between word form and word meaning. Critically, there is a significant effect of iconicity ...

摘要:Herpesviruses encode conserved protein kinases (CHPKs) that target dependent kinase (CDK) phosphorylation sites; thus, they are termed kinases. Tyrosine 15 in the GxGxxG motifs of CDK1 and CDK2, whose tion down-regulates their catalytic activities, is conserved in the corresponding CHPKs. We found that CHPK UL13, the corresponding Tyr-162 in virus 2 (HSV-2), was phosphorylated in HSV-2-infected cells. Mutational HSV-2 UL13 Tyr-162 suggested that phosphorylation of UL13 Tyr-162 phosphorylation ...

摘要:Mimicking the interconvertible carbon allotropes of 2-dimensional (2D) graphene and 1-dimensional (1D) carbon nanotubes (CNTs), herein we report the in situ transformation of 2D it-conjugated covalent organic frameworks (COFs) sheet into 1D nanotubular structures via self-assembly the sheets at solvent interfaces. The facile roll-sheets self-assembly resulted in coaxial nanotubes with uniform cross-sectional diameter, which was realized for diazapyrene-based COFs but not for the corresponding ...

摘要:Crop pathogens often lack exclusive access to their host and must interact with plants concurrently engaged with numerous other symbionts. Here, we demonstrate that the colonization of hosts by plant-mutualistic mycorrhizal fungi can indirectly induce transcriptional responses of a major plant parasite, the nematode Globodera pallida, via a modified host resource profile. A shift in the resource profile of the root, where the parasite feeds, is perceived and responded to by the parasite throug...

摘要:Montane ecosystems are crucial for maintaining global biodiversity and function that sustain life on our planet. Yet, these ecosystems are highly vulnerable to changing temperatures and may undergo critical transitions under ongoing climate change. What we do not know is to what extent montane biodiversity and ecosystem services will respond to local temperature variations in a gradual versus abrupt manner across global environments. To fill this knowledge gap, we conducted a global synthesis,...

摘要:Microglia, the largest population of brain immune cells, play an essential role in regulating neuroinflammation by removing foreign materials and debris and in cognition by pruning synapses. Since liver X receptor beta (LXR beta) has been identified as a regulator of microglial homeostasis, this study examined whether its removal from microglia affects neuroinflammation and cognitive function. We used a cell-specific tamoxifen-inducible Cre-loxP-mediated recombination to remove LXR beta from m...

摘要:The integrated stress response (ISR) is a central signaling network that enables eukaryotic cells to respond to a variety of different environmental stresses. Such stresses cause ribosome collisions that lead to activation of the kinase Gcn2, resulting in the phosphorylation and inactivation of eukaryotic initiation factor 2 and thereby promoting selective translation of mRNAs to restore homeostasis. Despite the importance of the ISR and intensive study over the past decades, structural insigh...

摘要:This study examines the relationship between academic achievement and strategic ability to coordinate among middle school students. We designed an experimental framework using repeated asymmetric Battle of the Sexes and Hawk-Dove games, to explore how cognitive and social skills related to academic success influence behavior. A total of 132 students participated, divided into groups of high and low academic achievers based on their performance at school. Our results show that, on average, high...
