Fine map** and genetic analysis identified a C2H2-type zinc finger as a candidate gene for heading date regulation in wheat
A minor-effect QTL, Qhd.2AS, that affects heading date in wheat was mapped to a genomic interval of 1.70-Mb on 2AS, and gene analysis indicated that the C2H2-type zinc finger protein gene TraesCS2A02G181200 is th...

Open AccessModerate white light exposure enhanced spatial memory retrieval by activating a central amygdala-involved circuit in mice
Light exposure can profoundly affect neurological functions and behaviors. Here, we show that short-term exposure to moderate (400 lux) white light during Y-maze test promoted spatial memory retrieval and indu...

Open AccessIntercellular transfer of activated STING triggered by RAB22A-mediated non-canonical autophagy promotes antitumor immunity
STING, an endoplasmic reticulum (ER) transmembrane protein, mediates innate immune activation upon cGAMP stimulation and is degraded through autophagy. Here, we report that activated STING could be transferred...
