Jun 14, 2023Impaired Inheritance of Parental Histones Accelerates Breast Cancer Growth and MetastasisThis study confirms the crucial role of parental histone inheritance carrying H3K27me3 in maintaining the specific regions of differentiated cells. Chromatin states and their associated epigenetic information play a crucial role in maintaining the identity of cells as they divide. Histone post-translational modifications (PTMs) are important d... -
Jun 07, 2023Confinement Effects of Carbon Nanotubes on Polyoxometalate Clusters Enhance Electrochemical Energy StorageThe electron transfer from CNTs to polyoxometalates reduces the surface charge density of nanotubes, which then weakens the van der Waals forces and suppresses aggregation. Accordingly, SWNTs fille... Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are considered ideal electrochemical energy storage materials due to their high electrical conductivity, large theoretical surface area, and good chemical stability.However,... -
May 19, 2023Complex Biological Behaviors: How Multiple Oscillators Interact In Live CellsThe researchers modified a previously constructed synthetic oscillator in yeast to acquire a dual responsive oscillator. They validated the system can be synchronized by both periodic α-factor and... In 1665, Christian Huygens observed the synchronization of two pendulum clocks and documented his findings. Oscillatory dynamics, observed not only in physical systems but also in fundamental biolo... -
Apr 18, 2023AI Generated Content Helps in 3D Brain ReconstructionThe result was published in IEEE Transactions on Neural Networks and Learning Systems on May ***. Generative AI is becoming an increasingly valuable tool, enabling researchers to create new models, simulate complex systems, and explore theoretical hypotheses in a faster and more efficient way.O... -
Apr 18, 2023Does Hormone Mediate Talk Between Brain and Bones?This study reveals the critical role of the brain-parathyroid-bone axis in maintaining bone metabolism homeostasis. It also provides new ideas for understanding how bone homeostasis is maintained. Bones, although composing the hardest tissue in the human body, are not stagnant structures. According to recent studies, bones maintain a lively metabolism and closely interact via nerves with the... -
Apr 14, 2023Researchers Develop Ultra-tunable Bistable Structures for Universal Robotic Applications"We can tune the structure to an ultra-sensitive state so that it will respond to a minute stimulation as gentle as a touch of a flying bee, while we could also set the structure to an insensitive ... Bistable structures in nature are unparalleled for their fast response and force amplification even with the minutest physical stimulation.Harnessing bistability and instability to rapidly release ... -
Apr 13, 2023A Capsule X-Ray Dosimeter for Real-Time Radiotherapy MonitoringThis technological breakthrough was published in the journal Nature biomedical engineering on April 13, 2023. In radiotherapy, precision in targeting tumor tissue while minimizing damage to healthy tissue is crucial. Monitoring the dose of radiation delivered and absorbed in real-time, particularly in the ... -
Apr 11, 2023Scientists Develop New Synthetic Hydrogel to Understand Cell-Matrix InteractionsThe application of PIC gel for cell cultures can, the team hopes, be realized more quickly. Recently, an international research team from Shenzhen Institute of Advanced Technology (SIAT), Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS), Radboud University and KU Leuven used a synthetic, yet highly biom...
