摘要:The Sterile Insect Technique (SIT) is a species-specific and environmentally friendly method for effectively controlling pest insect populations based on releasing reared, sterile insects into infested areas. Sex sorting in rearing facilities, enabling male-only releases, is necessary to ensure SIT programs are efficient, cost-effective and, in case of mosquito control, also safe. This can be greatly facilitated by genetic sexing strains (GSS), exhibiting sex-specific phenotypic markers. Howev...

摘要:Excessive degradation of the colonic mucin layer by Bacteroides within the human gut microbiota drives inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) in mice. Bacterial carbohydrate sulfatases are key enzymes in gut colonization, and they are elevated in human IBD and correlate with disease severity.Selective inhibitors of carbohydrate sulfatases could function as sulfatase-selective drugs, allowing precise control of sulfatase activity while preserving these otherwise beneficial bacteria. Arylsulfamates ar...

摘要:In order to proliferate, bacteria must remodel their cell wall at the division site. The division process is driven by the enzymatic activity of peptidoglycan synthases and hydrolases around the constricting Z-ring. We introduce a morphoelastic model that correctly reproduces the shape of the division site during the constriction and septation phases of Escherichia coli. In the model, mechanical stress directs the transformation of the bacterial wall. The two constants associated with growth a...

摘要:Head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) is a common and aggressive malignancy. While significant advances have been made in the management of low-grade cancer, treatment of advanced HNSCC remains challenging. Here, we used a proteomic approach to find binding partners of the oncogene p63, the most frequently amplified transcription factor in HNSCC. We identified a zinc finger protein, ZNF148, which is coexpressed and physically binds p63 in carcinoma cells. Genome occupancy analyses iden...

摘要:Performance typically peaks at moderate arousal levels, consistent with the Yerkes-Dodson law, as confirmed by recent human and mouse pupillometry studies. Arousal states are influenced by neuromodulators like catecholamines (noradrenaline and dopamine) and acetylcholine. To investigate their contributions to this law, we pharmacologically enhanced arousal while measuring human decision-making and spontaneous arousal fluctuations via pupil size. The catecholaminergic agent atomoxetine increase...

摘要:Mechanical forces are ubiquitous and essential during vertebrate development, yet how these forces are translated into biochemical signals and regulate development during postnatal organogenesis remains poorly understood. While early embryogenesis relies on cell-autonomous mechanotransduction, the role of sensory innervation-abundant in postnatal stages-has been overlooked. Here, using the postnatal mouse molar development model, a system experiencing sustained mechanical forces and extensive ...

摘要:Lung cancers and melanomas have many somatically mutated self-proteins that would be expected to trigger an immune rejection response, yet therapeutic responses can only be induced in a subset of patients. Here, we investigated the possibility that inherited differences in immune tolerance checkpoints contribute to variability in outcomes. Whole genome sequencing revealed biallelic germline loss-of-function (LOF) mutations in the immune tolerance checkpoint gene, NOD2, in an exceptional immune...
