摘要:In Arabidopsis thaliana, the FLOWERING LOCUS T (FT) gene encodes florigen, a floral stimulus that integrates multiple environmental cues to optimize the timing of flowering, which is crucial for reproductive success. The FT protein is synthesized in the phloem companion cells of leaves but exerts its function in the shoot apical meristem (SAM) to initiate floral morphogenesis. While the environment-dependent regulation of FT transcription in leaves is well studied, the mechanisms underlying FT...

摘要:Progesterone receptor (PR)- mediated progesterone (P4) signaling plays a crucial role in the establishment of uterine receptivity which is the prerequisite for successful embryo implantation in mammals. However, detailed molecular mechanisms underlying PR-chromatin binding and transcriptional activity in the uterus remain largely elusive. Here, combining the P4- administrated ovariectomized mouse model and PR-chromatin immunoprecipitation sequencing, we identified transcription factor WT1 as a...

摘要:The maintenance of excitatory synaptic activity is crucial for cognitive function and genetic mutations are responsible for the pathogenesis of related brain disorders. However, the roles of these pathogenic factors in synaptic dysregulation and cognitive malfunction are still poorly understood. In this study, a conditional knockout mouse model lacking ZC4H2-an X-linked gene implicated in ZC4H2-associated rare disorder (ZARD) -in forebrain excitatory neurons is generated and these mice exhibit...

摘要:Introducing neuromorphic computing paradigms into taste-sensing technology will bring unprecedented opportunities for developing new hardware architectures with perceptual intelligence. Constructing the biomimetic gustatory system, however, remains a challenge due to the scarcity of suitable components operating under wet conditions. Here, we report that ion confinement within the layered graphene oxide membranes can be used to develop a memristive device capable of implementing both synaptic ...

摘要:This study examines the theoretical and methodological limitations of migration research in understanding gender-specific trends of migration. In particular, theory-driven methods suffer from the gender blindness of migration theories, while data-driven methods suffer from the scarcity of gender disaggregated migration data. This research aims to evaluate how these dual limitations affect the accuracy of commonly used migration prediction models. By analyzing migration flows disaggregated by g...

摘要:Bone regeneration continues to be a challenge due to the complex nature of the tissue. Identifying new materials that stimulate regeneration while providing mechanical properties is an active area of research. One class of promising material in bone regeneration is graphene and its derivatives including graphene oxide (GO), the oxidized form of graphene. Recently, calcium phosphate graphene (CaPG), synthesized from GO, has been proven to have osteoinductive properties in vivo. However, CaPG is...

摘要:Photosynthesis, the fundamental process sustaining life on Earth, depends on the photosystem II (PSII) reaction center's ability to initiate the charge transport process. In this study, we have investigated this charge transport process with a focus on the dissimilarity between the two branches of the PSII reaction center, D1 and D2. Utilizing Marcus theory, we have calculated the reorganization energies and activation barriers for all the key steps involved in the charge transport process. Ou...

摘要:The mammalian cochlea loses its ability to regenerate hair cells (HCs) after birth. In contrast, in the avian auditory epithelium, the basilar papilla (BP), supporting cells (SCs) retain the capability for HC regeneration throughout life. Our previous study using single-cell RNA sequencing indicated a stepwise fate conversion of SCs to HCs via a precursor state, in which endothelin receptor type B2 (EDNRB2) exhibited specifically high expression during HC regeneration in chick BP. This study a...

摘要:The mammalian auditory system relies on the precise architecture of the hair cell stereociliary bundle for effective sound transduction. Each bundle consists of approximately 100 actin-filled stereocilia arranged in a three-row staircase pattern, forming a linear shape in inner hair cells (IHCs) and a V-shape in outer hair cells (OHCs), the latter geometry being a hallmark of the mammalian cochlea. While the initial development from uniformly distributed microvilli into stereociliary bundles i...

摘要:The regulation of metabolism in peripheral tissues is intricately linked to circadian rhythms, with hypoxia-inducible factor-1 alpha (HIF1 alpha) implicated in modulating time-of-day-specific exercise responses. To investigate this relationship, we generated a skeletal muscle-specific HIF1 alpha knockout (KO) mouse model and performed extensive metabolic phenotyping and transcriptomic profiling under both basal conditions and following acute exercise during early rest (ZT3) and active (ZT15) p...
