摘要:Data from the distant past are fertile ground for testing social science theories of education and social mobility. In this study, we construct a dataset from 3,640 tomb epitaphs of males in China's Tang Dynasty (618-907 CE), which contain granular and extensive information about the ancestral origins, family background, and career histories of the deceased elites. Our statistical analysis of the complete profiles yields evidence of the transition away from an aristocratic society in three key...

摘要:We study the Thomson scattering from highly oriented pyrolitic graphite excited by the extreme ultraviolet, coherent pulses of FERMI free electron laser (FEL). An apparent nonlinear behavior is observed and fully described in terms of the coherent nature of both exciting FEL beam and scattered radiation, producing an intensity-dependent enhancement of the Thomson scattering cross-section. The process resembles Dicke's superradiant phenomenon and is thus interpreted as the observation of superr...

摘要:Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (Bd), a causative agent of chytridiomycosis, is decimating amphibian populations around the world. Bd belongs to the chytrid lineage, a group of early-diverging fungi that are widely used to study fungal evolution. Like all chytrids, Bd develops from a motile form into a sessile, growth form, a transition that involves drastic changes in its cytoskeletal architecture. Efforts to study Bd cell biology, development, and pathogenicity have been limited by the lack o...

摘要:The genomes of several plant viruses contain RNA structures at their 3 ' ends called cap-independent translation enhancers (CITEs) that bind the host protein factors such as mRNA 5 ' cap-binding protein eIF4E for promoting cap-independent genome translation. However, the structural basis of such 5 ' cap-binding protein recognition by the uncapped RNA remains largely unknown. Here, we have determined the crystal structure of a 3 ' CITE, panicum mosaic virus-like translation enhancer (PTE) from ...

摘要:Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) is the most common mono-genic cause of chronic kidney disease and the fourth leading cause of end- stage kidney disease, accounting for over 50% of prevalent cases requiring renal replacement therapy. There is a pressing need for improved therapy for ADPKD. Recent insights into the pathophysiology of ADPKD revealed that cyst cells undergo metabolic changes that up- regulate aerobic glycolysis in lieu of mitochondrial respiration for energy p...

摘要:Rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS) is the most common type of soft tissue sarcoma in children and adolescents. Fusion- negative RMS (FN- RMS) accounts for more than 80% of all RMS cases. The long- term event- free survival rate for patients with high- grade FN- RMS is below 30%, highlighting the need for improved therapeutic strategies. CD73 is a 5 ' ectonucleotidase that hydrolyzes AMP to adenosine and regulates the purinergic signaling pathway. We found that CD73 is elevated in FN- RMS tumors that expre...
