摘要:Drug resistance in HIV type 1 (HIV - 1) is a pervasive problem that affects the lives of millions of people worldwide. Although records of drug- resistant mutations (DRMs) have been extensively tabulated within public repositories, our understanding of the evolutionary kinetics of DRMs and how they evolve together remains limited. Epistasis, the interaction between a DRM and other residues in HIV - 1 protein sequences, is key to the temporal evolution of drug resistance. We use a Potts sequenc...

摘要:Partial cystectomy procedures for urinary bladder-related dysfunction involve long recovery periods, during which urodynamic studies (UDS) intermittently assess lower urinary tract function. However, UDS are not patient - friendly, they exhibit user - to - user variability, and they amount to snapshots in time, limiting the ability to collect continuous, longitudinal data. These procedures also pose the risk of catheter - associated urinary tract infections, which can progress to ascending pye...

摘要:Photodynamic therapy (PDT) relies on a series of photophysical and photochemical reactions leading to cell death. While effective for various cancers, PDT has been less successful in treating pigmented melanoma due to high light absorption by melanin. Here, this limitation is addressed by 2- photon excitation of the photosensitizer (2p - PDT) using -100 fs pulses of near- infrared laser light. A critical role of melanin in enabling rather than hindering 2p - PDT is elucidated using pigmented a...

摘要:When faced with starvation, the bacterium Bacillus subtilis transforms itself into a dormant cell type called a spore. Sporulation initiates with an asymmetric division event, which requires the relocation of the core divisome components FtsA and FtsZ, after which the sigma factor aF is exclusively activated in the smaller daughter cell. Compartment- specific activation of aF requires the SpoIIE phosphatase, which displays a biased localization on one side of the asymmetric division septum and...

摘要:Multi- principal element alloys (MPEAs) exhibit outstanding strength attributed to the complex dislocation dynamics as compared to conventional alloys. Here, we develop an atomic- lattice- distortion- dependent discrete dislocation dynamics framework consisted of random field theory and phenomenological dislocation model to investigate the fundamental deformation mechanism underlying massive dislocation motions in body- centered cubic MPEA. Amazingly, the turbulence of dislocation speed is ide...

摘要:Two recently published analyses make cases for severe bottlenecking of human populations occurring in the late Early Pleistocene, one case at about 0.9 Mya based on a genomic analysis of modern human populations and the low number of hominin sites of this age in Africa and the other at about 1.1 Mya based on an age inventory of sites of hominin presence in Eurasia. Both models point to climate change as the bottleneck trigger, albeit manifested at very different times, and have implications fo...

摘要:By releasing specialized metabolites, plants modify their environment. Whether and how specialized metabolites protect plants against toxic levels of trace elements is not well understood. We evaluated whether benzoxazinoids, which are released into the soil by major cereals, can confer protection against arsenic toxicity. Benzoxazinoid-producing maize plants performed better in arsenic- contaminated soils than benzoxazinoid- deficient mutants in the greenhouse and the field. Adding benzoxazin...

摘要:The bad metallic phase with resistivity above the Mott-Ioffe-Regel (MIR) limit, which appears also in cuprate superconductors, was recently understood by cold atom and computer simulations of the Hubbard model via charge susceptibility and charge diffusion constant. However, since reliable simulations can be typically done only at temperatures above the experimental temperatures, the question for cuprate superconductors is still open. This paper addresses this question by resorting to heat tra...
