摘要:California agriculture will undergo significant transformations over the next few decades in response to climate extremes, environmental regulation and policy encouraging environmental justice, and economic pressures that have long driven agricultural changes. With several local climates suited to a variety of crops, periodically abundant nearby precipitation, and public investments that facilitated abundant low- priced irrigation water, California hosts one of the most diverse and productive ...

摘要:Characterizing unknown viruses is essential for understanding viral ecology and preparing against viral outbreaks. Recovering complete genome sequences from environmental samples remains computationally challenging using metagenomics, especially for low- abundance species with uneven coverage. We present an experimental method for reliably recovering complete viral genomes from complex environmental samples. Individual genomes are encapsulated into droplets and amplified using multiple displac...

摘要:Social foraging is very common in the animal kingdom. Numerous studies have documented collective foraging in various species and many reported the attraction of various species to foraging conspecifics. It is nonetheless difficult to quantify the benefits and costs of collective foraging, especially in the wild. We examined the benefits and costs of social foraging using on- board microphones mounted on freely foraging Molossus nigricans bats. This allowed us to quantify the bats' attacks on ...

摘要:Regulated cell cycle progression ensures homeostasis and prevents cancer. In proliferating cells, premature S phase entry is avoided by the E3 ubiquitin ligase anaphasepromoting complex/cyclosome (APC/C), although the APC/C substrates whose degradation restrains G1- S progression are not fully known. The APC/C is also active in arrested cells that exited the cell cycle, but it is not clear whether APC/C maintains all types of arrest. Here, by expressing the APC/C inhibitor, EMI1, we show that ...

摘要:Mass spectrometry- based omics technologies are increasingly used in perturbation studies to map drug effects to biological pathways by identifying significant molecular events. Significance is influenced by fold change and variation of each molecular parameter, but also by multiple testing corrections. While the fold change is largely determined by the biological system, the variation is determined by experimental workflows. Here, it is shown that memory effects of prior subculture can influe...

摘要:It is imperative to devise effective removal strategies for high ionization potential (IP) organic pollutants in wastewater as their reduced electron-- donating capacity challenges the efficiency of advanced oxidation systems in degradation. Against this backdrop, leveraging the metal- based carbon material structure meticulously, we employed metal-- pyridine- N (M- N- C, M=Fe, Co, and Ni) as the electron transfer bridge. This distinctive design facilitated the ordered transfer of electrons fr...

摘要:Tissue buckling is an increasingly appreciated mode of morphogenesis in the embryo, but it is often unclear how geometric and material parameters are molecularly determined in native developmental contexts to generate diverse functional patterns. Here, we study the link between differential mechanical properties and the morphogenesis of distinct anteroposterior compartments in the intestinal tract-the esophagus, small intestine, and large intestine. These regions originate from a simple, commo...

摘要:Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are essential in regenerative medicine. However, conventional expansion and harvesting methods often fail to maintain the essential extracellular matrix (ECM) components, which are crucial for their functionality and efficacy in therapeutic applications. Here, we introduce a bone marrow- inspired macroporous hydrogel designed for the large- scale production of MSC-ECM spheroids. Through a soft- templating approach leveraging liquid-liquid phase separation, we engi...

摘要:Humans and animals excel at generalizing from limited data, a capability yet to be fully replicated in artificial intelligence. This perspective investigates generalization in biological and artificial deep neural networks (DNNs), in both in-distribution and out-of-distribution contexts. We introduce two hypotheses: First, the geometric properties of the neural manifolds associated with discrete cognitive entities, such as objects, words, and concepts, are powerful order parameters. They link ...

摘要:Active fluids composed of constituents that are constantly driven away from thermal equilibrium can support spontaneous currents and can be engineered to have unconventional transport properties. Here, we report the emergence of (meta)stable traveling bands in computer simulations of aligning circle swimmers. These bands are different from polar flocks and, through coupling phase with mass transport, induce a bulk particle current with a component perpendicular to the propagation direction, th...
