摘要:Decomposition of dead organic matter is fundamental to carbon (C) and nutrient cycling in terrestrial ecosystems, influencing C fluxes from the biosphere to the atmosphere. Theory predicts and evidence strongly supports that the availability of nitrogen (N) limits litter decomposition. Positive relationships between substrate N concentrations and decomposition have been embedded into ecosystem models. This decomposition paradigm, however, relies on data mostly from short - term studies analyzi...

摘要:Infanticide and adoption have been attributed to sexual selection, where an individual later reproduces with the parent whose offspring it killed or adopted. While sexually selected infanticide is well known, evidence for sexually selected adoption is anecdotal. We report on both behaviors at 346 nests over 27 y in green - rumped parrotlets ( Forpus passerinus ) in Venezuela. Parrotlets are monogamous with long - term pair bonds, exhibit a strongly male - biased adult sex ratio, and nest in ca...

摘要:The immune landscape of bladder cancer progression is not fully understood, and effective therapies are lacking in advanced bladder cancer. Here, we visualized that bladder cancer cells recruited neutrophils by secreting interleukin - 8 (IL - 8); in turn, neutrophils played dual functions in bladder cancer, including hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) release and CCL3 high PD - L1 high super - immunosuppressive subset formation. Mechanistically, c - Fos was identified as the mediator of HGF up - r...

摘要:This study examines the impact of residential mobility on electoral participation among the poor by matching data from Moving to Opportunity, a US - based multicity housing - mobility experiment, with nationwide individual voter data. Nearly all participants in the experiment were Black and Hispanic families who originally lived in high - poverty public housing developments. Notably, the study finds that receiving a housing voucher to move to a lowpoverty neighborhood decreased adult participa...

摘要:Multispecies bacterial populations often inhabit confined and densely packed encommunity. However, the role of mechanical interactions in shaping the ecology is still poorly understood. Here, we study a model system consisting of two populations of nonmotile Escherichia coli bacteria competing within open, monolayer microchannels. The competitive dynamics is observed to be biphasic: After seeding, either one strain rapidly fixates or both strains orient into spatially stratified, stable commun...

摘要:The reaction kinetics of photocatalytic CO 2 reduction is highly dependent on the transfer rate of electrons and protons to the CO 2 molecules adsorbed on catalytic centers. Studies on uncovering the proton effect in catalysts on photocatalytic activity of CO 2 reduction are significant but rarely reported. In this paper, we, from the molecular level, revealed that the photocatalytic activity of CO 2 reduction is closely related to the proton availability in catalysts. Specifically, four dinuc...

摘要:Membrane tubulation coupled with fission (MTCF) is a widespread phenomenon but mechanisms for their coordination remain unclear, partly because of the lack of assays to monitor dynamics of membrane tubulation and subsequent fission. Using polymer cushioned bilayer islands, we analyze the membrane tubulator Bridging Integrator 1 (BIN1) mixed with the fission catalyst dynamin2 (Dyn2). Our results reveal this mixture to constitute a minimal two - component module that demonstrates MTCF. MTCF is a...

摘要:Successful regeneration of missing tissues requires seamless integration of positional information along the body axes. Planarians, which regenerate from almost any injury, use conserved, developmentally important signaling pathways to pattern the body axes. However, the molecular mechanisms which facilitate cross talk between these signaling pathways to integrate positional information remain poorly understood. Here, we report a p21- activated kinase ( smed-pak1 ) which functionally integrate...

摘要:The current paradigm about the function of T cell immune checkpoints is that these receptors switch on inhibitory signals upon cognate ligand interaction. We here revisit this simple switch model and provide evidence that the T cell lineage protein THEMIS enhances the signaling threshold at which the immune checkpoint BTLA (B - and T - lymphocyte attenuator) represses T cell responses. THEMIS is recruited to the cytoplasmic domain of BTLA and blocks its signaling capacity by promoting/ stabili...
