摘要:Cell surface receptors, including erythropoietin- producing hepatocellular A4 (EphA4), are important in regulating hippocampal synapse loss, which is the key driver of memory decline in Alzheimer's disease (AD). However, the cell- specific roles and mechanisms of EphA4 are unclear. Here, we show that EphA4 expression is elevated in hippocampal CA1 astrocytes in AD conditions. Specific knockout of astrocytic EphA4 ameliorates excitatory synapse loss in the hippocampus in AD transgenic mouse mod...

摘要:The house mouse X and Y chromosomes have recently acquired multicopy, rapidly evolving gene families representing an evolutionary arms race. This arms race between proteins encoded by X- linked Slxl1/Slx and Y- linked Sly gene families can distort offspring sex ratio, but how these proteins compete remains unknown. Here, we report how Slxl1/Slx and Sly encoded proteins compete in a protein family-specific and dose- dependent manner using yeast. Specifically, SLXL1 competes with SLY1 and SLY2 f...

摘要:The unsupervised and principled diagnosis of multiscale data is a fundamental obstacle in modern scientific problems from, for instance, weather and climate prediction, neurology, epidemiology, and turbulence. Multiscale data are characterized by a combination of processes acting along multiple dimensions simultaneously, spatiotemporal scales across orders of magnitude, nonstationarity, and/or invariances such as translation and rotation. Existing methods are not well-suited to multiscale data...

摘要:Understanding the dynamic evolution of protein structures is crucial for uncovering their biological functions. Yet, real- time prediction of these dynamic structures remains a significant challenge. Two- dimensional infrared (2DIR) spectroscopy is a powerful tool for analyzing protein dynamics. However, translating its complex, low- dimensional signals into detailed three- dimensional structures is a daunting task. In this study, we introduce a machine learning- based approach that accurately...

摘要:Calcium ions (Ca2+) play central roles in cellular physiology. Fluorescent indicators for Ca2+ ions revolutionized our ability to make rapid, accurate, and highly parallel measurement of Ca2+ concentrations in living cells. The use of ratio- based imaging with one particular indicator, fura- 2, allowed practitioners to correct for a number of experimental confounds, including dye bleaching, variations in sample thickness, and fluctuations in illumination intensity. Ratio- based imaging with fu...

摘要:Based on the seminal minimal group experiment, the widely influential social identity theory has, in the last 45 y, led to the belief that discrimination follows from intergroup relations and social identity. A large body of research evidenced that people discriminate against members of their out versus ingroup, even if groups and identities were assigned on the basis of a quantity estimate, aesthetic judgment, or a chance outcome. But to what extent may unequal resource division be accounted ...

摘要:Positive- strand RNA viruses of the order Nidovirales have the largest known RNA genomes of vertebrate and invertebrate viruses with 36.7 and 41.1 kb, respectively. The acquisition of a proofreading exoribonuclease (ExoN) by an ancestral nidovirus enabled crossing of the 20 kb barrier. Other factors constraining genome size variations in nidoviruses remain poorly defined. We assemble 76 genome sequences of invertebrate nidoviruses from >500.000 published transcriptome experiments and triple th...

摘要:The discovery of ferroelectric phases in HfO2 offers insights into ferroelectricity. Its unique fluorite structure and complex polarization switching pathways exhibit distinct characteristics, challenging conventional analysis methods. Combining group theory and first- principles calculations, we identify numerous unconventional electric polarization switching pathways in HfO2 with energy barriers of 0.32 to 0.57 eV as a function of the different shift in the suboxygen lattices. In total, we i...

摘要:Bone is a dynamic organ constantly undergoing remodeling with both bone formation and resorption. Bone formation is mediated by osteoblasts originating from the differentiation of bone marrow (BM) mesenchymal stem and progenitor cells (BM- MSPCs). However, how bone cells communicate with BM-MSPCs to coordinate bone formation remains largely elusive. Here, we unveil a key role of osteocyte connexin 43 (Cx43) hemichannels in regulating the lineage commitment of BM- MSPCs. Two transgenic mouse mo...
