摘要:Atherosclerosis results from lipid- driven inflammation of the arterial wall that fails to resolve. Imbalances in macrophage accumulation and function, including diminished migratory capacity and defective efferocytosis, fuel maladaptive inflammation and plaque progression. The neuroimmune guidance cue netrin-1 has dichotomous roles in inflammation partly due to its multiple receptors; in atherosclerosis, netrin-1 promotes macrophage survival and retention via its receptor Unc5b. To minimize t...

摘要:Complement activation through antibody-antigen complexes is crucial in various pathophysiological processes and utilized in immunotherapies to eliminate infectious agents, regulatory immune cells, or cancer cells. The tertiary structures of the four IgG antibody subclasses are largely comparable, with the most prominent difference being the hinge regions connecting the Fab and Fc domains, providing them with unique structural flexibility. Complement recruitment and activation depend strongly o...

摘要:EfpA, the first major facilitator superfamily (MFS) protein identified in Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb), is an essential efflux pump implicated in resistance to multiple drugs. EfpA- inhibitors have been developed to kill drug- tolerant Mtb. However, the biological function of EfpA has not yet been elucidated. Here, we present the cryo- EM structures of EfpA complexed with lipids or the inhibitor BRD- 8000.3 at resolutions of 2.9 & Aring; and reveal that EfpA is a lipid transporter and BRD-...

摘要:We consider certain convolution sums that are the subject of a conjecture by Chester, Green, Pufu, Wang, and Wen in string theory. We prove a generalized form of their conjecture, explicitly evaluating absolutely convergent sums X n1 is an element of ZN{0,n} cP ( n 1 , n - n 1 ) 6 2 m 1 ( n 1 ) 6 2 m 2 ( n - n 1 ), where tp ( n 1 , n 2 ) is a Laurent polynomial with logarithms. Contrary to original expectations, such convolution sums, suitably extended to n 1 is an element of { 0 , n }, do not...

摘要:It is broadly recognized that intramolecular electric fields, produced by the protein scaffold and acting on the active site, facilitate enzymatic catalysis. This field effect can be described by several theoretical models, each of which is intuitive to varying degrees. In this contribution, we show that a fundamental effect of electric fields is to generate electrostatic potentials that facilitate the energetic alignment of reactant frontier orbitals. We apply this model to demystify the impa...

摘要:Many types of viruses infect insects and other arthropods. In contrast, little is known about how arthropods sense viruses, although several innate immune pathways including Toll have antiviral functions. Large DNA viruses in the family Baculoviridae are used to control a number of pest insects. Here, we studied Spodoptera litura and Autographa californica multiple nucleopolyhedrovirus (AcMNPV) to test the hypothesis that one or more myeloid differentiation-like (ML) proteins and Toll family m...

摘要:Thermal nonreciprocity plays a vital role in chip heat dissipation, energy-saving design, and high-temperature hyperthermia, typically realized through the use of advanced metamaterials with nonlinear, advective, spatiotemporal, or gradient properties. However, challenges such as fixed structural designs with limited adjustability, high energy consumption, and a narrow operational temperature range remain prevalent. Here, a systematic framework is introduced to achieve reconfigurable, zero-ene...
