摘要:The G protein-coupled cysteinyl leukotriene receptor CysLT2R plays intricate roles in the physiology and pathogenesis of inflammation-related processes. It has garnered increasing attention as a potential therapeutic target for atopic asthma, brain injury, central nervous system disorders, and various types of cancer. In this study, we present the cryo-electron microscopy structure of the cysteinyl leukotriene D4 (LTD4)-bound human CysLT2R in complex with a G alpha q protein, adopting an activ...

摘要:Modern brain-computer interfaces (BCI), utilizing electroencephalograms for bidirectional human-machine communication, face significant limitations from movement-vulnerable rigid sensors, inconsistent skin-electrode impedance, and bulky electronics, diminishing the system's continuous use and portability. Here, we introduce motion artifact-controlled micro-brain sensors between hair strands, enabling ultralow impedance density on skin contact for long-term usable, persistent BCI with augmented...

摘要:DNA methylation regulates fruit ripening in tomato, and disruption of the DNA ylation and impaired ripening. We report here that the transcription factors Ripening Inhibitor (RIN) and FRUITFULL 1 (FUL1) play critical roles in mediating the effect of DNA methylation on tomato fruit ripening. RIN and FUL1 are silenced in dml2 mutant plants, and the defective ripening phenotype of dml2 is mimicked by the rin/ ful1 double mutant. Restoration of RIN expression in dml2 partially rescues its ripening...

摘要:Unraveling the relationship between structural information and the dynamic properties of supercooled liquids is one of the great challenges of physics. Dynamic heterogeneity, characterized by the propensity of particles, is often used as a proxy for dynamic slowing. Over the years, significant efforts have been made to capture the structural variations linked to dynamic heterogeneity in supercooled liquids. In this work, we present an innovative unsupervised machine learning protocol based on ...

摘要:Various strategies targeting spinal locomotor circuitry have been associated with functional improvements after spinal cord injury (SCI). However, the neuronal populations mediating beneficial effects remain largely unknown. Using a combination therapy in a mouse model of complete SCI, we show that virally delivered brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) (AAV-BDNF) activates hindlimb stepping and causes hyperreflexia, whereas submotor threshold epidural stimulation (ES) reduces BDNF-induced ...

摘要:The inhibitor of DNA binding protein ID3 has been associated with the progression of colorectal cancer (CRC). Despite its significance, its specific role in the immune evasion strategies utilized by CRC remains unclear. RNA-seq analysis revealed that ID3 was positively associated with the PD-L1 immune checkpoint. We further demonstrated that tumor cell-expressed ID3 enhanced PD-L1 expression, suppressed the infiltration and activation of CD8+T cells, and facilitated the immune evasion of CRC c...

摘要:Engineering small autonomous agents capable of operating in the microscale environment remains a key challenge, with current systems still evolving. Our study explores the fruit fly, Drosophila melanogaster, a classic model system in biology and a species adept at microscale interaction, as a biological platform for microrobotics. Initially, we focus on remotely directing the walking paths of fruit flies in an experimental arena. We accomplish this through two distinct approaches: harnessing t...

摘要:Influenza remains a significant public health threat. Both monoclonal antibodies and small-molecule inhibitors can target the influenza surface glycoproteins hemagglutinin (HA) or neuraminidase (NA) for prevention and treatment of influenza. Here, we combine the strengths of anti-influenza antibodies and small molecules by site-specific conjugation of the NA inhibitor zanamivir to MEDI8852, an HA-specific fully human monoclonal antibody. MEDI8852 targets the conserved stem region of HA and inh...

摘要:Seismic fault slip and rupture propagation often occur at crustal depths in the presence of hot and pressurized aqueous fluids (i.e., hydrothermal conditions). Previous experiments investigated fault frictional properties under hydrothermal conditions, but at imposed subseismic fault slip velocities (V similar to mu m/s). Here, using a rotary-shear apparatus equipped with a hydrothermal pressure vessel, we study friction at seismic slip velocities (V = 1.5 m/s) of gabbro-and marble-built fault...
