Giant pyroelectricity in nanomembranes
Pyroelectricity describes the generation of electricity by temporal temperature change in polar materials1–3. When free-standing pyroelectric materials approach the 2D crystalline limit, how pyroelectricity behav...

Structural basis for the tethered peptide activation of adhesion GPCRs
Adhesion G-protein-coupled receptors (aGPCRs) are important for organogenesis, neurodevelopment, reproduction and other processes1–6. Many aGPCRs are activated by a conserved internal (tethered) agonist sequence ...

Open AccessStructural studies of phosphorylation-dependent interactions between the V2R receptor and arrestin-2
Arrestins recognize different receptor phosphorylation patterns and convert this information to selective arrestin functions to expand the functional diversity of the G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) superfam...

Structures of the glucocorticoid-bound adhesion receptor GPR97–Go complex
Adhesion G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) are a major family of GPCRs, but limited knowledge of their ligand regulation or structure is available1–3. Here we report that glucocorticoid stress hormones activate...

Open AccessPrimary tumors release ITGBL1-rich extracellular vesicles to promote distal metastatic tumor growth through fibroblast-niche formation
Tumor metastasis is a hallmark of cancer. Metastatic cancer cells often reside in distal tissues and organs in their dormant state. Mechanisms underlying the pre-metastatic niche formation are poorly understoo...

Open AccessNo effect of Bt Cry1Ie toxin on bacterial diversity in the midgut of the Chinese honey bees, Apis cerana cerana (Hymenoptera, Apidae)
Cry1Ie protein derived from Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) has been proposed as a promising candidate for the development of a new Bt-maize variety to control maize pests in China. We studied the response of the mid...

Open AccessAldosterone induces rapid sodium intake by a nongenomic mechanism in the nucleus tractus solitarius
The purpose of this study was to determine whether aldosterone has a rapid action in the nucleus tractus solitarius (NTS) that increases sodium intake, and to examine whether this effect of aldosterone, if pre...

Structural basis for site-specific ribose methylation by box C/D RNA protein complexes
Some RNAs, called guide RNAs, use their encoded sequence information to help direct a protein to where it is required. One of these RNA-protein (RNP) complexes, known as the box C/D RNP, catalyses the site-spe...
