摘要:Pore structures provide extra freedoms for the design of porous media, leading to desirable properties, such as high catalytic rate, energy storage efficiency, and specific strength. This unfortunately makes the porous media susceptible to failure. Deep understanding of the failure mechanism in microstructures is a key to customizing high- performance crack- resistant porous media. However, solving the fracture problem of the porous materials is computationally intractable due to the highly co...

摘要:In the lower respiratory tract, the alveolar spaces are divided from the bloodstream and the external environment by only a few microns of interstitial tissue. Alveolar macrophages (AMs) defend this delicate mucosal surface from invading infections by regularly patrolling the site. AMs have three behavior modalities to achieve this goal: extending cell protrusions to probe and sample surrounding areas, squeezing the whole cell body between alveoli, and patrolling by moving the cell body around...

摘要:Senescence is a cell fate driven by different types of stress that results in exit from the cell cycle and expression of an inflammatory senescence- associated secretory phenotype (SASP). Here, we demonstrate that stable overexpression of miR-96-5p was sufficient to induce cellular senescence in the absence of genotoxic stress, inducing expression of certain markers of early senescence including SASP factors while repressing markers of deep senescence including LINE- 1 and type 1 interferons. ...

摘要:No sooner is an experience over than its neural representation begins to be transformed through memory reactivation during offline periods. The lion's share of prior research has focused on understanding offline reactivation within the hippocampus. However, it is hypothesized that consolidation processes involve offline reactivation in cortical regions as well as coordinated reactivation in the hippocampus and cortex. Using fMRI, we presented novel and repeated paired associates to participant...

摘要:Spatiotemporal patterns in multicellular systems are important to understanding tissue dynamics, for instance, during embryonic development and disease. Here, we use a multiphase field model to study numerically the behavior of a near-confluent monolayer of deformable cells with intercellular friction. Varying friction and cell motility drives a solid-liquid transition, and near the transition boundary, we find the emergence of local nematic order of cell deformation driven by shear-aligning c...

摘要:Convergent extension of epithelial tissue is a key motif of animal morphogenesis. On a coarse scale, cell motion resembles laminar fluid flow; yet in contrast to a fluid, epithelial cells adhere to each other and maintain the tissue layer under actively generated internal tension. To resolve this apparent paradox, we formulate a model in which tissue flow in the tension-dominated regime occurs through adiabatic remodeling of force balance in the network of adherens junctions. We propose that t...

摘要:One of the most critical axes for cell fate determination is how cells respond to excessive reactive oxygen species (ROS)-oxidative stress. Extensive lipid peroxidation commits cells to death via a distinct cell death paradigm termed ferroptosis. However, the molecular mechanism regulating cellular fates to distinct ROS remains incompletely understood. Through siRNA against human receptor- interacting protein kinase (RIPK) family members, we found that RIPK4 is crucial for oxidative stress and...

摘要:The physicist Robert H. Goddard is considered one of the founding fathers of rocketry and space flight. Among his early work was an article published in 1920 in PNAS titled, The possibilities of the rocket in weather forecasting ( 1 ). In this now-classic article, Goddard outlined the potential use of rockets to collect high-altitude data on atmospheric conditions to improve weather forecasting. Goddard estimated that rockets carrying recording instruments could reach a height of 10 kilometers...

摘要:Global pollution has exacerbated accumulation of toxicants like methylmercury (MeHg) in seafood. Human exposure to MeHg has been associated with long- term neurodevelopmental delays and impaired cardiovascular health, while many micro- nutrients in seafood are beneficial to health. The largest MeHg exposure source for many general populations originates from marine fish that are harvested from the global ocean and sold in the commercial seafood market. Here, we use high- resolution catch data ...
