Open AccessDual-energy lattice-tip ablation system for persistent atrial fibrillation: a randomized trial
Clinical outcomes of catheter ablation for atrial fibrillation (AF) are suboptimal due, in part, to challenges in achieving durable lesions. Although focal point-by-point ablation allows for the creation of an...

Open AccessGenome-wide association study using whole-genome sequencing identifies risk loci for Parkinson’s disease in Chinese population
Genome-wide association studies (GWASs) have identified numerous susceptibility loci for Parkinson’s disease (PD), but its genetic architecture remains underexplored in populations of non-European ancestry. To...

Leukocyte telomere length in children born following blastocyst-stage embryo transfer
Perinatal and childhood adverse outcomes associated with assisted reproductive technology (ART) has been reported, but it remains unknown whether the initial leukocyte telomere length (LTL), which is an indica...

Open AccessDorzagliatin add-on therapy to metformin in patients with type 2 diabetes: a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled phase 3 trial
Metformin, the first-line therapy for type 2 diabetes (T2D), decreases hepatic glucose production and reduces fasting plasma glucose levels. Dorzagliatin, a dual-acting orally bioavailable glucokinase activato...

A neuroimaging biomarker for striatal dysfunction in schizophrenia
Mounting evidence suggests that function and connectivity of the striatum is disrupted in schizophrenia1–5. We have developed a new hypothesis-driven neuroimaging biomarker for schizophrenia identification, progn...

Implant-derived magnesium induces local neuronal production of CGRP to improve bone-fracture healing in rats
A novel stainless-steel pin has been engineered with a pure magnesium core that promotes improved fracture healing in rats by inducing local production of a key neuropeptide for osteogenesis.

Default network connectivity decodes brain states with simulated microgravity
With great progress of space navigation technology, it becomes possible to travel beyond Earth’s gravity. So far, it remains unclear whether the human brain can function normally within an environment of micr...

Physical basis of apparent pore dilation of ATP-activated P2X receptor channels
The prevailing view for purinergic P2X receptor channels is that their ion conduction pores dilate upon prolonged activation. This study finds that the hallmark shift in equilibrium potential observed with pro...

Autophagy regulates endothelial cell processing, maturation and secretion of von Willebrand factor
In the process of autophagy, cellular constituents are degraded and recycled. Toren Finkel and his colleagues show that this process also regulates the secretion of a key blood-clotting protein by endothelial ...

Oral tolerance to food-induced systemic anaphylaxis mediated by the C-type lectin SIGNR1
A C-type lectin receptor, SIGNR-1, helps dendritic cells in the gut induce oral tolerance. Sugar-modified antigens might therefore be used to induce oral tolerance to food-induced anaphylaxis.

Gating the pore of P2X receptor channels
Trimeric P2X receptor channels are activated by ATP and function in neural signaling, pain transmission and inflammation-based pathways. Cysteine scanning analysis of the transmembrane regions revealed that th...
