摘要:Unlike coffee and cream that homogenize when stirred, growing micro-organisms(e.g., bacteria, baker's yeast) can actively kill each other and avoid mixing. How dosuch antagonistic interactions impact the growth and survival of competing strains,while being spatially advected by turbulent flows? By using numerical simulations of acontinuum model, we study the dynamics of two antagonistic strains that are dispersedby incompressible turbulent flows in two spatial dimensions. A key parameter is th...

摘要:In wearable smart systems, continuous monitoring and accurate classification of dif-ferent sleep- related conditions are critical for enhancing sleep quality and preventing sleep- related chronic conditions. However, the requirements for device-skin coupling quality in electrophysiological sleep monitoring systems hinder the comfort and reli-ability of night wearing. Here, we report a washable, skin- compatible smart garment sleep monitoring system that captures local skin strain signals under...

摘要:Experimental studies have shown that symbiotic relationships between arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi and host plants can regulate soil organic carbon (SOC) storage. Although the impacts of mycorrhiza are highly context- dependent, it remains unclear how these effects vary across broad spatial scales. Based on data from 2296 field sites across grassland ecosystems of China, here we show that mycorrhizal fungi symbiosis enhances SOC storage in the topsoil and subsoil through increasing plant d...

摘要:The alpha 7 nicotinic acetylcholine receptor is a pentameric ligand- gated ion channel that plays an important role in neuronal signaling throughout the nervous system. Its implication in neurological disorders and inflammation has spurred the development of numerous compounds that enhance channel activation. However, the therapeutic potential of these compounds has been limited by the characteristically fast desensitization of the alpha 7 receptor. Using recent high- resolution structures fro...

摘要:A standard assumption in game theory is that decision- makers have preplanned strategies telling them what actions to take for every contingency. In contrast, nonstrategic decisions often involve an on- the- spot comparison process, with longer response times (RT) for choices between more similarly appealing options. If strategic decisions also exhibit these patterns, then RT might betray private information and alter game theory predictions. Here, we examined bargaining behavior to determine ...

摘要:Alzheimer's disease (AD) affects more than 10% of the population >= 65 y of age, but the underlying biological risks of most AD cases are unclear. We show anti-poly-glycine-arginine (a-polyGR) positive aggregates frequently accumulate in sporadic AD autopsy brains (45/80 cases). We hypothesize that these aggregates are caused by one or more polyGR-encoding repeat expansion mutations. We developed a CRISPR/deactivated-Cas9 enrichment strategy to identify candidate GR-encoding repeat expansion m...

摘要:Modern machine learning has achieved impressive prediction performance, but often sacrifices interpretability, a critical consideration in high-stakes domains such as medicine. In such settings, practitioners often use highly interpretable decision tree models, but these suffer from inductive bias against additive structure. To overcome this bias, we propose Fast Interpretable Greedy-Tree Sums (FIGS), which generalizes the Classification and Regression Trees (CART) algorithm to simultaneously ...

摘要:Urate provides similar to 50% of the reducing potential in human and primate plasma which is key to detoxifying reactive oxygen by- products of cellular metabolism. Urate is the endpoint of purine metabolism in primates, and its concentration in plasma is a bal-ance between excretion from kidney and intestine, and subsequent reabsorption in and through cells of kidney proximal tubules to maintain a regulated concentration in plasma. SLC2A9 is the primary transporter that returns urate from the...

摘要:In most eukaryotic organisms, cells that rely on continuous cell division employ the enzyme telomerase which replenishes chromosome termini through the addition of telomeric repeats. In budding yeast, the telomerase holoenzyme is composed of a catalytic core associated with two regulatory subunits, Est1 and Est3. The Est1 protein binds a telomere- specific RPA-like complex to recruit telomerase to chromosome ends. However, the regulatory function of the Est3 subunit has remained elusive. We re...
