Open AccessHistone H1.0 couples cellular mechanical behaviors to chromatin structure
Tuning of genome structure and function is accomplished by chromatin-binding proteins, which determine the transcriptome and phenotype of the cell. Here we investigate how communication between extracellular s...

CDK1 promotes the proliferation of melanocytes in Rex rabbits
The fur color constitutes one of the most important economic characteristics of fur animals and is determined by the content of melanin. A previous study has shown that the cyclin-dependent kinase 1 (CDK1) is a m...

Interfacial effects of plasticizers on the properties of cellulose diacetate materials
Cellulose diacetate (CDA) is a biodegradable biobased polymer, which is not easily melt-processable with a narrow window between flowing and decomposition temperature. Selecting the appropriate plasticizer and...

Effects of plasticizers on the properties of breathable cellulose diacetate films
Cellulose diacetate (CDA) is a bio-based polymer of high hydrophilicity and low crystallinity for intrinsic moisture conductor. However, strong hydrogen bond induces interactions and close arrangement of CDA c...

Interfacial Polyelectrolyte Complexation Spinning of Cellulose Nanofibers/CdTe Quantum Dots for Anti-counterfeiting Fluorescent Textiles
Cellulose-based fluorescent fibers were successfully fabricated by interfacial polyelectrolyte complexation (IPC) spinning, in which thioglycolic acid-modified CdTe quantum dots (QDs) were incorporated. The fi...

The self-healing of Bacillus subtilis biofilms
Self-healing is an intrinsic ability that exists widely in every multicellular biological organism. Our recent experiments have shown that bacterial biofilms also have the ability to self-heal after man-make c...

‘Chain and running’ induced by mechanical interactions among cells of different phenotypes in the Bacillus subtilis biofilm
In either a living system or a non-living system, the interaction among its constituent cells or particles is a fundamental aspect at all scales. For example, during the Bacillus subtilis biofilm formation, cells...

RNAi-mediated SLC7A11 knockdown inhibits melanogenesis-related genes expression in rabbit skin fibroblasts
Solute carrier family 7 member 11 (SLC7A11) is a cystine/glutamate exchanger, also known as xCT, has been found to play an important role in pheomelanin synthesis. Adjusting the cystine content of cells to influe...
