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 ...

Auxin regulates plant growth and development through downstream signaling pathways, including the best-known SCF TIR1/AFB -Aux/IAA-ARF pathway and several other less characterized “noncanonical” ...

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 ...

During arbuscular mycorrhiza (AM) symbiosis AM fungi form tree-shaped structures called arbuscules in root cortex cells of host plants. Arbuscules and their host cells are central for reciprocal ...

Biomass-burning organic aerosol (s) (BBOA) not only significantly impact Earth’s climate by absorbing solar radiation but also generate excited triplet states (3 BBOA *) that react with other ...

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 ...

Crops genetically engineered to produce insect-killing proteins from the bacterium Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) control some major pests and reduce use of insecticide sprays. However, evolution of pest ...
