摘要:Defective glucose- stimulated insulin secretion (GSIS) and (3- cell senescence are hallmarks in diabetes. The mitochondrial enzyme pyruvate carboxylase (PC) has been shown to promote GSIS and (3- cell proliferation in the clonal (3- cell lines, yet its physiological relevance remains unknown. Here, we provide animal and human data showing a role of PC in protecting (3- cells against senescence and maintaining GSIS under different physiological and pathological conditions. (3- cell- specific de...

摘要:Bacillus subtilis spores are produced inside the cytosol of a mother cell. Spore surface assembly requires the SpoVK protein in the mother cell, but its function is unknown. Here, we report that SpoVK is a sporulation- specific, forespore- localized putative chaperone from a distinct higher- order clade of AAA+ ATPases that promotes the peptidoglycan glycosyltransferase activity of MurG during sporulation, even though MurG does not normally require activation during vegetative growth. MurG red...

摘要:Based on current research, it is evident that the way people see themselves is shaped by their conversation partners. Historically, this literature focuses on how one individual's expectations can shape another person's self- views. Given the reciprocal nature of conversation, we wondered whether conversation partners' self- views may mutually evolve. Using four- person round- robin conversation networks, we found that participants tended to have more similar self- views post- conversation tha...

摘要:Droplets of one fluid in a second, immiscible fluid are typically spherical in shape due to the interfacial tension between the two fluids. Shear forces can lead to droplet deformation when they are subjected to flow, and these effects can be further modified when the droplet is stabilized by a surfactant due to a flow- induced gradients in the surfactant concentration. An alternative method of stabilizing droplets is through the use of colloidal particles, whose stabilization behavior is intr...

摘要:In the past decade, topological data analysis has emerged as a powerful algebraic topology approach in data science. Although knot theory and related subjects are a focus of study in mathematics, their success in practical applications is quite limited due to the lack of localization and quantization. We address these challenges by introducing knot data analysis (KDA), a paradigm that incorporates curve segmentation and multiscale analysis into the Gauss link integral. The resulting multiscale...

摘要:One of the remaining issues regarding the Anthropocene is the lack of stratigraphic evidence indicating when the cumulative human pressure from the early Holocene began to fundamentally change the Earth system. Herein, we compile anthropogenic fingerprints from various high-precision-dated proxy records for 137 global sites to determine the age of the unprecedented surge in these records over the last 7700 y. The cumulative number of fingerprints revealed an unprecedented surge in diverse anth...

摘要:The long tradition of research on cooperation includes a well-established finding that individuals respond to the degree of conflict between self-and collective interests (that is, the relative benefits from cooperation) in providing public goods. Existing empirical evidence builds upon settings where participants make multiple decisions or strategically consider alternative scenarios. Here, we consider a decision setting where participants face a one-time (single-decision) setting. One-time c...
