摘要:Cancer therapy, including immunotherapy, is inherently limited by chronic inflammationinduced tumorigenesis and toxicity within the tumor microenvironment. Thus, stimulating the resolution of inflammation may enhance immunotherapy and improve the toxicity of immune checkpoint inhibition (ICI). As epoxy - fatty acids (EpFAs) are degraded by the enzyme soluble epoxide hydrolase (sEH), the inhibition of sEH increases endogenous EpFA levels to promote the resolution of cancer- associated inflammat...

摘要:Neural dynamics can reflect intrinsic dynamics or dynamic inputs, such as sensory inputs or inputs from other brain regions. To avoid misinterpreting temporally structured inputs as intrinsic dynamics, dynamical models of neural activity should account for measured inputs. However, incorporating measured inputs remains elusive in joint dynamical modeling of neural- behavioral data, which is important for studying neural computations of behavior. We first show how training dynamical models of n...

摘要:We test whether the classification of households into poverty categories is meaningfully influenced by the poverty measurement approach that is employed. These classification techniques are widely used by governments, non - profit organizations, and development agencies for policy design and implementation. Using primary data collected in Ethiopia, Ghana, and Uganda, we find almost no agreement in how four commonly used approaches rank 16,150 households in terms of poverty status. This result ...

摘要:Marine photosynthetic dinoflagellates are a group of successful phytoplankton that can form red tides in the ocean and also symbiosis with corals. These features are closely related to the photosynthetic properties of dinoflagellates. We report here three structures of photosystem I (PSI)-chlorophylls (Chls) a/c- peridinin protein complex (PSI- AcpPCI) from two species of dinoflagellates by single- particle cryoelectron microscopy. The crucial PsaA/B subunits of a red tidal dinoflagellate Amph...

摘要:The pharynx of the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans is a neuromuscular organ that exhibits typical pumping motions, which result in the intake of food particles from the environment. In - depth inspection reveals slightly different dynamics at the various pharyngeal areas, rather than synchronous pumping motions of the whole organ, which are important for its effective functioning. While the different pumping dynamics are well characterized, the underlying mechanisms that generate them are not ...

摘要:Self- assembly of complex and functional materials remains a grand challenge in soft material science. Efficient assembly depends on a delicate balance between thermodynamic and kinetic effects, requiring fine- tuning affinities and concentrations of sub units. By contrast, we introduce an assembly paradigm that allows large error- tolerance in the subunit affinity and helps avoid kinetic traps. Our combined experimental and computational approach uses a model system of triangular subunits pro...

摘要:Children from families across the income distribution attend public schools, making schools and classrooms potential sites for interaction between more- and less- affluent children. However, limited information exists regarding the extent of economic integration in these contexts. We merge educational administrative data from Oregon with measures of family income derived from IRS records to document student exposure to economically diverse school and classroom peers. Our findings indicate that...

摘要:It is known that pre-mRNAs in eukaryotic cells can be processed to circular RNAs by a backsplicing mechanism. Circular RNAs have great stability and can sequester proteins or small RNAs to exert functions on cellular pathways. Because viruses often exploit host pathways, we explored whether the RNA genome of the cytoplasmic hepatitis C virus is processed to yield virus- derived circRNAs (vcircRNAs). Computational analyses of RNA-seq experiments predicted that the viral RNA genome is fragmented...

摘要:The protein crescentin is required for the crescent shape of the freshwater bacterium Caulobacter crescentus (vibrioides). Crescentin forms a filamentous structure on the inner, concave side of the curved cells. It shares features with eukaryotic intermediate filament (IF) proteins, including the formation of static filaments based on long and parallel coiled coils, the protein's length, structural roles in cell and organelle shape determination and the presence of a coiled coil discontinuity ...

摘要:Zinc is an essential nutrient-it is stored during periods of excess to promote detoxification and released during periods of deficiency to sustain function. Lysosome- related organelles (LROs) are an evolutionarily conserved site of zinc storage, but mechanisms that control the directional zinc flow necessary for homeostasis are not well understood. In Caenorhabditis elegans intestinal cells, the CDF-2 transporter stores zinc in LROs during excess. Here, we identify ZIPT-2.3 as the transporter...
