摘要:The (32- adrenergic receptor ((32AR), a prototype G protein-coupled receptor, controls cardiopulmonary function underpinning O2 delivery. Abundance of the (32AR is canonically regulated by G protein-coupled receptor kinases and (3- arrestins, but neither controls constitutive receptor levels, which are dependent on ambient O2. Basal (32AR expression is instead regulated by the prolyl hydroxylase/pVHL- E3 ubiquitin ligase system, explaining O2 responsivity. Interplay between O2 and nitric oxide...

摘要:The size and composition of local species pools are, in part, determined by past dispersal events. Predicting how communities respond to future disturbances, such as fluctuating environmental conditions, requires knowledge of such histories. We assessed the influence of a historical dispersal event on community assembly by simulating various scales of dispersal for 240 serpentine annual plant communities that experienced a large shift from drought to high rainfall conditions over three years. ...

摘要:Hydrogen sulfide production is a characteristic that distinguishes Salmonella serovars from closely related species, such as Escherichia coli, but its biological significance remains obscure. Here, we show that PhsABC and AsrABC-mediated hydrogen sulfide production by Salmonella enterica serovar (S.) Typhimurium was linked to an increased abundance of Deltaproteobacteria and inhibition of cytochrome bd oxidase-mediated aerobic respiration of Escherichia coli in the murine large intestine. Func...

摘要:All organisms are exposed to various stressors, which can sometimes lead to organismal death, depending on their intensity. While stress-induced organismal death has been observed in many species, the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. In this study, we investigated the molecular mechanisms of stress-induced organismal death in the fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster. We identified a chymotrypsin-like serine protease Phaedra1 (Phae1) as a death mediator in D. melanogaster larvae. Phae1 expres...

摘要:The onset of puberty is increasingly observed at earlier ages in children, especially in girls with obesity, a trend that predisposes them to long-term metabolic and reproductive disorders in adulthood. Bile acids have emerged as pivotal signaling molecules in both metabolic and reproductive disorders, but remain unexplored in the early onset of puberty in children. Herein, we find elevated levels of muricholic acid (MCA) species in the serum of girls with central precocious puberty, which str...

摘要:Despite periods of permanent darkness and extensive ice coverage in polar environments, photosynthetic ice diatoms display a remarkable capability of living inside the ice matrix. How these organisms navigate such hostile conditions with limited light and extreme cold remains unknown. Using a custom subzero temperature microscope during an Arctic expedition, we present the finding of motility at record-low temperatures in a Eukaryotic cell. By characterizing the gliding motility of several ice...

摘要:Bivalve farming, a vital component of global aquaculture, has been proposed as a potential marine carbon dioxide removal (mCDR) strategy, yet its role remains contentious. Using field mesocosms, we demonstrate that oyster filter- feeding enhances mCDR by accelerating the formation of particulate and dissolved organic carbon in the water column and promoting organic carbon deposition in sediments. This process shifts the water column toward a more autotrophic and alkaline state, effectively seq...

摘要:Studies from the 1980s and 1990s conducted in Italy, where malaria was once endemic, hypothesized that individuals with erythrocytes deficient in flavin mononucleotide and flavin adenine dinucleotide (FAD)-collectively known as flavins-are partially protected against malaria. The condition was reported to be familial, consistent with a genetic element. This hypothesis, however, has never been tested. Using an erythrocyte FAD-dependent glutathione reductase activity assay, we identified individ...

摘要:severeacute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) bivalent vaccines show potential against variants but lack a full understanding of the immunological mechanisms that drive broadly neutralizing antibodies (bnAbs). This study explored the immunogenicity of a bivalent vaccine in rhesus macaques, containing spike (S) proteins from the prototype (Sprototype) and chimeric S protein (S1628x). The vaccine induced bnAbs against multiple variants, including challenging subvariants like EG.1, ...

摘要:Human learning embodies a striking duality: Sometimes, we can rapidly infer and compose logical rules, benefiting from structured curricula (e.g., in formal education), while other times, we rely on an incremental approach or trial-and-error, learning better from curricula that are randomly interleaved. Influential psychological theories explain this seemingly conflicting behavioral evidence by positing two qualitatively different learning systems-one for rapid, rule-based inferences (e.g., in...
