Open AccessLandform and lithospheric development contribute to the assembly of mountain floras in China
Although it is well documented that mountains tend to exhibit high biodiversity, how geological processes affect the assemblage of montane floras is a matter of ongoing research. Here, we explore landform-spec...

Open AccessSolar overall water-splitting by a spin-hybrid all-organic semiconductor
Direct solar-to-hydrogen conversion from pure water using all-organic heterogeneous catalysts remains elusive. The challenges are twofold: (i) full-band low-frequent photons in the solar spectrum cannot be har...

Open AccessABA-mediated regulation of rice grain quality and seed dormancy via the NF-YB1-SLRL2-bHLH144 Module
Abscisic acid (ABA) plays a crucial role in promoting plant stress resistance and seed dormancy. However, how ABA regulates rice quality remains unclear. This study identifies a key transcription factor SLR1-l...

Open AccessThe Shigella kinase effector OspG modulates host ubiquitin signaling to escape septin-cage entrapment
Shigella flexneri is a Gram-negative bacterium causing severe bloody dysentery. Its pathogenesis is largely dictated by a plasmid-encoded type III secretion system (T3SS) and its associated effectors. Among these...

Chemical short-range disorder in lithium oxide cathodes
Ordered layered structures serve as essential components in lithium (Li)-ion cathodes1–3. However, on charging, the inherently delicate Li-deficient frameworks become vulnerable to lattice strain and structural a...

Article
Brain endothelial GSDMD activation mediates inflammatory BBB breakdown
The blood–brain barrier (BBB) protects the central nervous system from infections or harmful substances1; its impairment can lead to or exacerbate various diseases of the central nervous system2–4. However, the m...

Open AccessAnalysis of age-specified and genotype distribution of HPV multiple infections in the Chinese population
Multiple infections are a key component of HPV pathogenesis and have a direct impact on how an infection turns out. It’s crucial to look at the associations between HPV multiple infections and both age and HPV...

Open AccessCleavage-intermediate Lassa virus trimer elicits neutralizing responses, identifies neutralizing nanobodies, and reveals an apex-situated site-of-vulnerability
Lassa virus (LASV) infection is expanding outside its traditionally endemic areas in West Africa, posing a pandemic biothreat. LASV-neutralizing antibodies, moreover, have proven difficult to elicit. To gain i...

Open AccessIncreased Asian aerosols drive a slowdown of Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation
Observational evidence and climate model experiments suggest a slowdown of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) since the mid-1990s. Increased greenhouse gases and the declined anthropogenic ...

Open AccessMagnaporthe oryzae effector MoSPAB1 directly activates rice Bsr-d1 expression to facilitate pathogenesis
Fungal pathogens typically use secreted effector proteins to suppress host immune activators to facilitate invasion. However, there is rarely evidence supporting the idea that fungal secretory proteins contrib...

Open AccessThe claustrum-prelimbic cortex circuit through dynorphin/κ-opioid receptor signaling underlies depression-like behaviors associated with social stress etiology
Ample evidence has suggested the stress etiology of depression, but the underlying mechanism is not fully understood yet. Here, we report that chronic social defeat stress (CSDS) attenuates the excitatory outp...

Open AccessTranscriptome-wide association analyses reveal the impact of regulatory variants on rice panicle architecture and causal gene regulatory networks
Panicle architecture is a key determinant of rice grain yield and is mainly determined at the 1-2 mm young panicle stage. Here, we investigated the transcriptome of the 1-2 mm young panicles from 275 rice vari...

Open AccessGut microbiota impacts bone via Bacteroides vulgatus-valeric acid-related pathways
Although the gut microbiota has been reported to influence osteoporosis risk, the individual species involved, and underlying mechanisms, remain largely unknown. We performed integrative analyses in a Chinese ...

Open AccessDe novo genome assembly depicts the immune genomic characteristics of cattle
Immunogenomic loci remain poorly understood because of their genetic complexity and size. Here, we report the de novo assembly of a cattle genome and provide a detailed annotation of the immunogenomic loci. Th...

Open AccessMAVS integrates glucose metabolism and RIG-I-like receptor signaling
MAVS is an adapter protein involved in RIG-I-like receptor (RLR) signaling in mitochondria, peroxisomes, and mitochondria-associated ER membranes (MAMs). However, the role of MAVS in glucose metabolism and RLR...

Open AccessA single-cell transcriptional landscape of immune cells shows disease-specific changes of T cell and macrophage populations in human achalasia
Achalasia is a rare motility disorder of the esophagus caused by the gradual degeneration of myenteric neurons. Immune-mediated ganglionitis has been proposed to underlie the loss of myenteric neurons. Here, w...

Open AccessTandemly duplicated CYP82Ds catalyze 14-hydroxylation in triptolide biosynthesis and precursor production in Saccharomyces cerevisiae
Triptolide is a valuable multipotent antitumor diterpenoid in Tripterygium wilfordii, and its C-14 hydroxyl group is often selected for modification to enhance both the bioavailability and antitumor efficacy. How...

Open AccessPollen tube emergence is mediated by ovary-expressed ALCATRAZ in cucumber
Pollen tube guidance within female tissues of flowering plants can be divided into preovular guidance, ovular guidance and a connecting stage called pollen tube emergence. As yet, no female factor has been ide...

Open AccessBiophysical impacts of earth greening can substantially mitigate regional land surface temperature warming
Vegetation change can alter surface energy balance and subsequently affect the local climate. This biophysical impact has been well studied for forestation cases, but the sign and magnitude for persistent eart...
