摘要:Bacteria are known to allocate their proteomes according to how fast they grow, and the allocation strategies employed strongly affect bacterial adaptation to different environments. Much of what is currently known about proteome allocation is based on extensive studies of the model organism Escherichia coli. It is not clear how much of E. coli's proteome allocation strategy is applicable to other species, particularly since different species can grow at vastly different rates even in the same...

摘要:Biofilm formation and encrustation are major issues in indwelling medical devices, such as urinary stents and catheters, as they lead to blockages and infections. Currently, to limit these effects, frequent replacements of these devices are necessary, resulting in a significant reduction in patients' quality of life and an increase in healthcare costs. To address these challenges, by leveraging recent advancements in robotics and microfluidic technologies, we envision a self-cleaning system fo...

摘要:The transient excitonic condensate is a nonequilibrium electron-hole Bardeen- Cooper-Schrieffer state in a photoexcited semiconductor and semimetal, where electron-hole pairs undergo a phase transition and condense into a single coherent quantum state. Despite numerous experimental works to realize the predicted excitonic condensation phase, experimental evidence still remains elusive. This is largely due to the absence of direct measurements of a material's transient momentum-dependent electr...

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:Site-one protease (S1P) carries out the first proteolytic step to activate membrane-bound effector proteins in the Golgi. S1P matures through an autocatalytic process that begins in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and culminates with the displacement of its inhibitory pro-domain by its cofactor, sterol regulatory element binding protein-regulating gene (SPRING). Spatial control of S1P activity and substrate localization underpins signaling pathways governing, among others, lipogenesis, ER stres...

摘要:We developed a two-tiered strategy aiming to identify gut bacteria functionally linked to the development of multiple sclerosis (MS). First, we compared gut microbial profiles in a cohort of 81 monozygotic twins discordant for MS. This approach allowed to minimize confounding effects by genetic and early environmental factors and identified over 50 differently abundant taxa with the majority of increased taxa within the Firmicutes. These included taxa previously described to be associated with...

摘要:Rapid social-ecological intensification is a recurrent feature of human history. It occurred in different forms and contexts; its outcomes may have been sustainable or transient. Until recently, such intensifications usually accompanied state formation: Consolidation of political power was often coupled with exponential increase in human exploitation of the environment of a given area. Here, we study one such case, uniquely well-documented through our rich paleoecological, archaeological, numi...
