The growth rate of the atmospheric abundance of methane (CH 4) reached a record high of 15.4 ppb yr −1 between 2020 and 2022, but the mechanisms driving the accelerated CH 4 growth have so far been ...

Cell-based therapy using satellite stem cells (SSCs) holds tremendous potential for enhancing muscle regeneration. However, conventional isolation methods often yield heterogeneous cell populations ...

Many cities seek to alleviate extreme heat via planting trees. However, the cooling achieved by such programs is debated because previous analyses address scales much smaller than the whole-city scale ...

Growing evidence has highlighted the role of small RNAs (sRNA) as trafficking effectors for cross-kingdom RNA interference (RNAi) between interacting organisms. Yet, it remains unknown whether ...

Cerebral (Aβ) plaque and (pTau) tangle deposition are hallmarks of Alzheimer’s disease (AD), yet are insufficient to confer complete AD-like neurodegeneration experimentally. Factors acting upstream ...

Moiré excitons in van der Waals (vdW) structures are of particular interest for both fundamental science and cutting-edge applications. The recent discovery of two-dimensional (2D) magnetic ...

The cardiac voltage-gated sodium channel Na v 1.5 is essential for normal heart function and excitability, with dysfunctions linked to various arrhythmias and heart failure. Achieving a comprehensive ...

Melanocyte development involves key pathways that are often recapitulated during melanoma initiation, highlighting the importance of understanding these regulatory processes. Our study identifies ...

F-type ATP synthase (F 1 F O) catalyzes proton motive force-driven ATP synthesis in mitochondria, chloroplasts, and bacteria. We have identified an architecture of F 1 F O from Chloroflexus ...

Wing dimorphism is a typical phenotypic plasticity in insects. Most cases reported previously involve indirect regulation of plant viruses to wing dimorphism of insect vectors through host plants.

Earth’s solid inner core exhibits intriguing characteristics such as an exceptionally low shear-wave velocity and an ultrahigh Poisson's ratio. In this study, we have used high pressure–temperature ...

We previously reported two classes of reproductive phasiRNAs (phased, small interfering RNAs) in maize, the premeiotic 21-nt (nucleotides) phasiRNAs and the meiotic 24-nt phasiRNAs. Here, we report a ...
