摘要:Insects and their gut bacteria form a tight and beneficial relationship, especially in utilization of host nutrients. The red turpentine beetle (RTB), a destructive and invasive pine pest, employs mutualistic microbes to facilitate its invasion success. However, the molecular mechanism underlying the utilization of nutrients remains unknown. In this study, we found that gut bacteria are crucial for the utilization of D- glucose, a main carbon source for RTB development. Downstream assays revea...

摘要:Exploring the complexity of the epithelial- to- mesenchymal transition (EMT) unveils a diversity of potential cell fates; however, the exact timing and mechanisms by which early cell states diverge into distinct EMT trajectories remain unclear. Studying these EMT trajectories through single- cell RNA sequencing is challenging due to the necessity of sacrificing cells for each measurement. In this study, we employed optimal- transport analysis to reconstruct the past trajectories of different c...

摘要:Climate change is an existential threat to the environmental and socioeconomic sustainability of the coastal zone and impacts will be complex and widespread. Evidence from California and across the United States shows that climate change is impacting coastal communities and challenging managers with a plethora of stressors already present. Widespread action could be taken that would sustain California's coastal ecosystems and communities. In this perspective, we highlight the main threat to co...

摘要:The seemingly straightforward task of tying one's shoes requires a sophisticated interplay of joints, muscles, and neural pathways, posing a formidable challenge for researchers studying the intricacies of coordination. A widely accepted framework for measuring coordinated behavior is the Haken-Kelso-Bunz (HKB) model. However, a significant limitation of this model is its lack of accounting for the diverse variability structures inherent in the coordinated systems it frequently models. Variabi...

摘要:Modulation of neuronal firing rates by the spatial locations of physical objects is a widespread phenomenon in the brain. However, little is known about how neuronal responses to the actions of biological entities are spatially tuned and whether such spatially tuned responses are affected by social contexts. These issues are of key importance for understanding the neural basis of embodied social cognition, such as imitation and perspective- taking. Here, we show that spatial representation of ...

摘要:We developed a generally applicable method, CRISPR/Cas9- targeted long- read sequencing (CTLR-Seq), to resolve, haplotype- specifically, the large and complex regions in the human genome that had been previously impenetrable to sequencing analysis, such as large segmental duplications (SegDups) and their associated genome rearrangements. CTLR-Seq combines in vitro Cas9- mediated cutting of the genome and pulse- field gel electrophoresis to isolate intact large (i.e., up to 2,000 kb) genomic re...

摘要:Sex pheromones play a crucial role in mate location and reproductive success. Insects face challenges in finding mates in low- density environments. The population dynamics of locusts vary greatly, ranging from solitary individuals to high- density swarms, leading to multiple- trait divergence between solitary and gregarious phases. However, differences in sexual communication between solitary and gregarious locusts have not been sufficiently explored. Herein, we found that solitary locusts bu...

摘要:The development of advanced neural modulation techniques is crucial to neuroscience research and neuroengineering applications. Recently, optical- based, nongenetic modulation approaches have been actively investigated to remotely interrogate the nervous system with high precision. Here, we show that a thin- film, silicon (Si)- based diode device is capable to bidirectionally regulate in vitro and in vivo neural activities upon adjusted illumination. When exposed to high- power and short- puls...

摘要:Hemostasis relies on a reaction network of serine proteases and their cofactors to form a blood clot. Coagulation factor IXa (protease) plays an essential role in hemostasis as evident from the bleeding disease associated with its absence. RNA aptamers specifically targeting individual coagulation factors have potential as anticoagulants and as probes of the relationship between structure and function. Here, we report X- ray structures of human factor IXa without a ligand bound to the active s...
