摘要:Researchers looking for sustainable materials with optimal mechanical properties may draw inspiration from a baseball tradition. For nearly 100 y, a mysterious mud harvested from an undisclosed river site in New Jersey (USA) has been the agent of choice in the USA's Major League Baseball for de-glossing new baseballs. It is unclear, however, what makes this Rubbing Mud work. Here, we perform a multiscale investigation of the rheology and tribology of this mud material under baseball-relevant c...

摘要:This study investigates the temporal and spatial factors driving the domestication of Capsicum annuum var. annuum L. in Mexico. This species exhibits the greatest morphological diversity in fruit among Capsicum species-a characteristic that is even more pronounced in contemporary landraces cultivated by indigenous communities. Despite the chili pepper's integral role in regional culinary traditions, its domestication history in this region remains poorly understood, often subject to scholarly ...

摘要:The objective of this work was to develop a long-acting form of the lipidated peptide semaglutide that can be administered to humans once-monthly. Semaglutide was attached to hydrogel microspheres by a cleavable linker with an expected in vivo release half-life of about 1 mo. After a single subcutaneous dose, the pharmacokinetic parameters of released semaglutide and bodyweight loss were determined in mice, and results were used to estimate the dosing and pharmacokinetics of the released semag...

摘要:Efficient lithium recovery from geothermal brines is crucial for the battery industry. Current electrochemical separation methods struggle with the simultaneous presence of Na+, K+, Mg2+, and Ca2+ because these cations are similar to Li+, making it challenging to separate effectively. We address these challenges with a three-chamber reactor featuring a polymer porous solid electrolyte in the middle layer. This design improves the transference number of Li+ (tLi+) by 2.1 times compared to the t...

摘要:The role of transcription factors in photoreceptor gene regulation is fairly well understood, but knowledge of the cell- type- specific function of transcriptional cofactors remains incomplete. Here, we show that the transcriptional corepressor samd7 promotes rod differentiation and represses short- wavelength cone genes in long- wavelength cones in zebrafish. In samd7-/- retinas, red cones are transformed into hybrid red/ultraviolet (UV) cones, green cones are absent, the number of blue cones...

摘要:The long- standing hypothesis that autism is linked to changes in the visual magnocellular system of the human brain has never been directly examined due to technological to investigate this hypothesis within the visual sensory thalamus (lateral geniculate nucleus, LGN). The LGN is a crucial component of the primary visual pathway. It is particularly suited to investigate the magnocellular visual system, because within the LGN, the magnocellular (mLGN) uniquely segregates from the parvocellula...

摘要:Fracture networks are preferential flow paths playing a critical role in a wide range of environmental and industrial problems. Their complex multiscale structure leads to broad distributions of fluid travel times, affecting many biogeochemical processes. Yet, the relationship between the fracture network structures, their hydrodynamic properties, and the resulting anomalous transport dynamics remains unclear. We use a large database of fracture network models to investigate the factors contro...

摘要:The gut microbiota produces high concentrations of antimicrobial short- chain fatty acids (SCFAs) that restrict the growth of invading microorganisms. The enteric pathogen Salmonella enterica serovar (S.) Typhimurium triggers inflammation in the large intestine to ultimately reduce microbiota density and bloom, but it is unclear how the pathogen gains a foothold in the homeostatic gut when SCFA- producing commensals are abundant. Here, we show that S. Typhimurium invasion of the ileal mucosa t...
