Intermittent cyclic mechanical compression promotes endplate chondrocytes degeneration by disturbing Nrf2/PINK1 signaling pathway-dependent mitophagy
An abnormal mechanical load is a pivotal inducer of endplate cartilage degeneration, which subsequently promotes intervertebral disc degeneration. Our previous study indicated that intermittent cyclic mechanic...

Open AccessSpatial transcriptomics delineates molecular features and cellular plasticity in lung adenocarcinoma progression
Indolent (lepidic) and aggressive (micropapillary, solid, and poorly differentiated acinar) histologic subtypes often coexist within a tumor tissue of lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD), but the molecular features ass...

A systems-level mass spectrometry-based technique for accurate and sensitive quantification of the RNA cap epitranscriptome
Chemical modifications of transcripts with a 5′ cap occur in all organisms and function in many aspects of RNA metabolism. To facilitate analysis of RNA caps, we developed a systems-level mass spectrometry-bas...

Evolutionary shifts in pheromone receptors contribute to speciation in four Helicoverpa species
Male moths utilize their pheromone communication systems to distinguish potential mates from other sympatric species, which contributes to maintaining reproductive isolation and even drives speciation. The mol...
