Previous measurements of FeSe0.45Te0.55 found one-dimensional (1D) defects that were interpretated as domain walls hosting propagating Majorana topological modes. Here, the authors reveal that these 1D defects correspond to sub-surface debris and show that the filling of the superconducting gap on these defects is topologically trivial.
Polypharmacology drugs are compounds designed to inhibit multiple protein targets. Here, authors use recent advances in AI to rapidly generate polypharmacology compounds against any pair of protein targets, experimentally validating numerous compounds targeting MEK1 and mTOR.
Arabidopsis α-Aurora kinase regulates plant cytokinesis by phosphorylating the microtubule-associated protein MAP65-3, which controls the dynamic organization of the phragmoplast structure essential for cytokinesis completion.
Liquid Chromatography Mass Spectrometry (LC-MS) is a powerful method for profiling biological samples. Here, the authors have developed a suit of Batch Effect Removal Neural Networks (BERNN) to remove batch effects in large LC-MS experiments to maximize sample classification between conditions.
In this study, the authors engineered a targeted Saccharomyces boulardii probiotic yeast platform, showing it exhibits high adherence to extracellular matrix proteins, resulting in longer gut residence, higher colon concentrations, and enhanced recovery in murine colitis.
Lithium-ion batteries with fast-charging properties are urgently needed for wide adoption of electric vehicles. Here, the authors show a fast charging/discharging and long-term stable electrode made from a mixed electronic/ionic conductor material enabled by a space charge mechanism.
Bietti crystalline corneoretinal dystrophy (BCD) is an autosomal recessive chorioretinal degenerative disease without approved therapeutic drug. Here, the authors show a promising CRISPR/Cas9 mediated homology-independent targeted integration therapy in patient derived cells and humanized mice carrying BCD mutations.
Catalytic and enantioselective construction of chiral α,α-dialkyl indoles represents an important yet challenging objective to be developed. Herein the authors describe a cobalt catalyzed enantioselective anti-Markovnikov alkene hydroalkylation via the remote stereocontrol for the synthesis of α,α-dialkyl indoles and other N-heterocycles.
The availability of longitudinal data in large biobanks is increasing. Here, using data from the UK Biobank, the authors develop and apply analytical approaches to quantify genetic contributions to change over time for traits like height and weight.
Here the authors show mutants of isocitrate dehydrogenase 1 (IDH1), an enzyme implicated in various cancers, have distinct catalytic and structural features that drive their ability to generate an oncometabolite.
SAMHD1 is a regulator of dNTP homeostasis and an HIV restriction factor. The authors use time-resolved cryo-EM to visualise dynamic conformational changes that drive the catalytic cycle and allosteric regulation of this multi-subunit enzyme.
Expression quantitative trait loci (eQTL) studies typically only consider exon expression levels and discard intronic RNA sequencing reads. Here, the authors show that analyzing eQTLs together with QTLs for intron levels and exon-intron ratios expands the number and functional understanding of genetic effects on gene regulatory processes.
The authors fabricate a thermoelectric cooling device based on n-type PbS based material, which exhibits a remarkable cooling temperature difference of 36.9 K at room temperature, and the single-leg power generation efficiency of 8%.
Molecular switches are ubiquitous in the biochemistry regulatory network. Here, the authors construct synthetic molecular switches controlled by DNA-modifying enzymes such as DNA polymerase and nicking endonuclease to control and cascade assembly and disassembly.
In non-human primates, rAAVs are delivered through suprachoroidal injection at a high dose to achieve optimal efficacy. Here, the authors present a novel AAV capsid (AAVv128) that significantly improved the transduction efficiency in photoreceptor and retinal pigment epithelial cells across species.
Developing skeletal editing tools, especially to realize the single-atom transmutation in a ring system without altering the ring size is challenging. Here, the authors introduce a skeletal editing strategy that enables polycyclic arenols to be readily converted into N-heteroarenes through carbon–nitrogen transmutation.
Microbial heparin bioproduction is hampered by the difficulty of recombinant expression of active heparan sulfate N-deacetylase/N-sulfotransferase. Here, the authors solve the problem by developing a cellular system-based semisynthetic strategy and achieve the production of active heparin by engineered E. coli.
Exposures rather than genetics likely contribute to the worldwide increased prevalence of Crohn Disease (CD). Here, the authors constructed the Study Of Urban and Rural Crohn disease Evolution (SOURCE), a multicenter and multi-omics cross-sectional study, to identify that time spent by rural residents in urban environments is linked with changes in gut microbial composition and metabolomics, which mirrored those seen in CD. Reviewer recognition:
‘Gastric cancer metastasis to the ovary is difficult to treat and is not fully understood. Here, the authors characterized mutations in a cohort of matched primary and metastatic disease, and found mutations, including in CLDN18, could predict treatment response to paclitaxel.
Accurate mapping of strain distribution calls for strain sensor arrays with high sensitivity, high sensing density and inter-unit consistency. Here, the authors report an array made from ordered assembly of monodispersed spiky carbon nanospheres to achieve the above features simultaneously.
