摘要:Theories of moral development propose that empathy is transmitted across individuals. However, the mechanisms through which empathy is socially transmitted remain unclear. Here, we combine computational learning models and functional MRI to investigate whether, and if so, how empathic and non- empathic responses observed in others affect the empathy of female observers. The results of three independent studies showed that watching empathic or non- empathic responses generates a learning signal...

摘要:Terrestrial enhanced weathering (EW) of silicate rocks, such as crushed basalt, on farmlands is a promising scalable atmospheric carbon dioxide removal (CDR) strategy that urgently requires performance assessment with commercial farming practices. We report findings from a large-scale replicated EW field trial across a typical maize-soybean rotation on an experimental farm in the heart of the United Sates Corn Belt over 4 y (2016 to 2020). We show an average combined loss of major cations (Ca2...

摘要:To ensure a robust immune response to pathogens without risking immunopathology, the kinetics and amplitude of inflammatory gene expression in macrophages need to be exquisitely well controlled. There is a growing appreciation for stress- responsive membraneless organelles (MLOs) regulating various steps of eukaryotic gene expression in response to extrinsic cues. Here, we implicate the nuclear paraspeckle, a highly ordered biomolecular condensate that nucleates on the Neat1 lncRNA, in tuning ...

摘要:Additive manufacturing capable of controlling and dynamically modulating structures down to the nanoscopic scale remains challenging. By marrying additive manufacturing with self- assembly, we develop a UV (ultra- violet)- assisted direct ink write approach for on- the- fly modulation of structural color by programming the assembly kinetics through photo- cross- linking. We design a photo- cross- linkable bottlebrush block copolymer solution as a printing ink that exhibits vibrant structural c...

摘要:The self- assembly of proteins into curved structures plays an important role in many cellular processes. One good example of this phenomenon is observed in the septum- forming protein (SepF), which forms polymerized structures with uniform curvatures. SepF is essential for regulating the thickness of the septum during bacteria cell division. In Bacillus subtilis, SepF polymerization involves two distinct interfaces, the (3-(3 and alpha-alpha interfaces, which define the assembly unit and cont...

摘要:Regulation of microtubule dynamics by microtubule- associated proteins (MAPs) is essential for mitotic spindle assembly and chromosome segregation. Altered microtubule dynamics, particularly increased microtubule growth rates, were found to be a contributing factor for the development of chromosomal instability, which potentiates tumorigenesis. The MAP XMAP215/CKAP5 is the only known microtubule growth factor, and whether other MAPs regulate microtubule growth in cells is unclear. Our recent i...

摘要:Considerable progress has been made in the experimental studies on laser-inducedterahertz (THz) radiation in liquids. Liquid THz demonstrates many unique featuresdifferent from the gas and plasma THz. For example, the liquid THz can be efficientlyproduced by a monochromatic laser. Its yield is maximized with a longer driving-pulseduration. It is also linearly dependent on the excitation pulse energy. In two-color laserfields, an unexpected unmodulated THz field was measured, and its energy dep...

摘要:The ubiquitous RNA chaperone Hfq is involved in the regulation of key biological pro-cesses in many species across the bacterial kingdom. In the opportunistic human path-ogen Klebsiella pneumoniae, deletion of the hfq gene affects the global transcriptome, virulence, and stress resistance; however, the ligands of the major RNA- binding protein in this species have remained elusive. In this study, we have combined transcriptomic, co- immunoprecipitation, and global RNA interactome analyses to c...

摘要:The intricate interplay between biomechanical and biochemical pathways in modulating morphogenesis is an interesting research topic. How biomechanical force regulates epithelial cell tubulogenesis remains poorly understood. Here, we established a model of tubulogenesis by culturing renal proximal tubular epithelial cells on a collagen gel while manipulating contractile force. Epithelial cells were dynamically self- organized into tubule - like structures by augmentation of cell protrusions and...
