Open AccessMagnon interactions in a moderately correlated Mott insulator
Quantum fluctuations in low-dimensional systems and near quantum phase transitions have significant influences on material properties. Yet, it is difficult to experimentally gauge the strength and importance o...

Open AccessSARS-CoV-2 Mpro responds to oxidation by forming disulfide and NOS/SONOS bonds
The main protease (Mpro) of SARS-CoV-2 is critical for viral function and a key drug target. Mpro is only active when reduced; turnover ceases upon oxidation but is restored by re-reduction. This suggests the sys...

Open AccessDiversifying crop rotation increases food production, reduces net greenhouse gas emissions and improves soil health
Global food production faces challenges in balancing the need for increased yields with environmental sustainability. This study presents a six-year field experiment in the North China Plain, demonstrating the...

Open AccessTracking the flight and landing behaviour of western flower thrips in response to single and two-colour cues
Real-time 3D tracking and high-speed videography was used to examine the behaviour of a worldwide greenhouse pest, the western flower thrips (WFT), in response to different colours in the context of improving ...

Lactate regulates cell cycle by remodelling the anaphase promoting complex
Lactate is abundant in rapidly dividing cells owing to the requirement for elevated glucose catabolism to support proliferation1–6. However, it is not known whether accumulated lactate affects the proliferative s...

Open AccessInterchange of Southern Hemisphere humpback whales across the South Atlantic Ocean
The cosmopolitan distribution of humpback whales (Megaptera novaeangliae) is largely driven by migrations between winter low-latitude breeding grounds and summer high-latitude feeding grounds. Southern Hemisphere...

Open AccessFibroblastic reticular cells in lymph node potentiate white adipose tissue beiging through neuro-immune crosstalk in male mice
Lymph nodes (LNs) are always embedded in the metabolically-active white adipose tissue (WAT), whereas their functional relationship remains obscure. Here, we identify fibroblastic reticular cells (FRCs) in ing...

Article
Open AccessCoumarin biosynthesis genes are required after foliar pathogen infection for the creation of a microbial soil-borne legacy that primes plants for SA-dependent defenses
Plants deposit photosynthetically-fixed carbon in the rhizosphere, the thin soil layer directly around the root, thereby creating a hospitable environment for microbes. To manage the inhabitants of this nutrie...

Open AccessBreakup of the proton halo nucleus 8B near barrier energies
The dynamics of a nuclear open quantum system could be revealed in the correlations between the breakup fragments of halo nuclei. The breakup mechanism of a proton halo nuclear system is of particular interest...

Open AccessStraw mulching for enhanced water use efficiency and economic returns from soybean fields in the Loess Plateau China
Water shortages threaten agricultural sustainability in the semi-arid areas of the Loess Plateau. Judicious mulching management can improve water conservation practices to alleviate this issue while increasing...

Open AccessModeling human telencephalic development and autism-associated SHANK3 deficiency using organoids generated from single neural rosettes
Human telencephalon is an evolutionarily advanced brain structure associated with many uniquely human behaviors and disorders. However, cell lineages and molecular pathways implicated in human telencephalic de...

Open AccessSalt‑responsive transcriptome analysis of canola roots reveals candidate genes involved in the key metabolic pathway in response to salt stress
Salinity is a major constraint on crop growth and productivity, limiting sustainable agriculture in arid regions. Understanding the molecular mechanisms of salt-stress adaptation in canola is important to impr...

Open AccessPharmacokinetics and central accumulation of delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and its bioactive metabolites are influenced by route of administration and sex in rats
Up to a third of North Americans report using cannabis in the prior month, most commonly through inhalation. Animal models that reflect human consumption are critical to study the impact of cannabis on brain a...

Open AccessRepurposing diphenylbutylpiperidine-class antipsychotic drugs for host-directed therapy of Mycobacterium tuberculosis and Salmonella enterica infections
The persistent increase of multidrug-resistant (MDR) Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) infections negatively impacts Tuberculosis treatment outcomes. Host-directed therapies (HDT) pose an complementing strategy, p...

Ultrahigh-energy photons up to 1.4 petaelectronvolts from 12 γ-ray Galactic sources
The extension of the cosmic-ray spectrum beyond 1 petaelectronvolt (PeV; 1015 electronvolts) indicates the existence of the so-called PeVatrons—cosmic-ray factories that accelerate particles to PeV energies. We n...

Open AccessTRPM7 kinase-mediated immunomodulation in macrophage plays a central role in magnesium ion-induced bone regeneration
Despite the widespread observations on the osteogenic effects of magnesium ion (Mg2+), the diverse roles of Mg2+ during bone healing have not been systematically dissected. Here, we reveal a previously unknown, b...

A quantum magnetic analogue to the critical point of water
At the liquid–gas phase transition in water, the density has a discontinuity at atmospheric pressure; however, the line of these first-order transitions defined by increasing the applied pressure terminates at...
