    Cold-induced FOXO1 nuclear transport aids cold survival and tissue storage

    Cold-induced injuries severely limit opportunities and outcomes of hypothermic therapies and organ preservation, calling for better understanding of cold adaptation. Here, by surveying cold-altered chromatin a...

    Defects in the cell wall and its deposition caused by loss-of-function of three RLKs alter root hydrotropism in Arabidopsis thaliana

    Root tips can sense moisture gradients and grow into environments with higher water potential. This process is called root hydrotropism. Here, we report three closely related receptor-like kinases (RLKs) that ...

    Intrinsically disordered CsoS2 acts as a general molecular thread for α-carboxysome shell assembly

    Carboxysomes are a paradigm of self-assembling proteinaceous organelles found in nature, offering compartmentalisation of enzymes and pathways to enhance carbon fixation. In α-carboxysomes, the disordered link...

    Sulindac selectively induces autophagic apoptosis of GABAergic neurons and alters motor behaviour in zebrafish

    Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs compose one of the most widely used classes of medications, but the risks for early development remain controversial, especially in the nervous system. Here, we utilized ze...

    Molecular architecture and conservation of an immature human endogenous retrovirus

    The human endogenous retrovirus K (HERV-K) is the most recently acquired endogenous retrovirus in the human genome and is activated and expressed in many cancers and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. We present t...

    Construction and validation of web-based nomograms for detecting and prognosticating in prostate adenocarcinoma with bone metastasis

    Bone metastasis (BM) is one of the most common sites of metastasis in prostate adenocarcinoma (PA). PA with BM can significantly diminish patients’ quality of life and result in a poor prognosis. The objective...

    NMI and IFP35 serve as proinflammatory DAMPs during cellular infection and injury

    Damage-associated molecular patterns (DAMP) trigger innate immune response and exacerbate inflammation to combat infection and cellular damage. Identifying DAMPs and revealing their functions are thus of cruci...
