Although N6-methyladenosine (m6A) is a pervasive RNA modification essential for gene regulation, dissecting the functions of individual m6A sites remains technically challenging. To overcome this, we developed functional m6A sites detection...
Mechanisms of HSV-1 helicase-primase inhibition and replication fork complex assembly [0.03%]

Herpesviruses are widespread double-stranded DNA viruses that establish lifelong latency and cause various diseases. Although DNA-polymerase-targeting antivirals are effective, increasing drug resistance underscores the need for alternative...
Neuronal calcium spikes enable vector inversion in the Drosophila brain [0.03%]
果蝇大脑中神经元钙 spike 使向量取反成为可能

A typical neuron signals to downstream cells when it is depolarized and fires sodium spikes. Some neurons, however, also fire calcium spikes when hyperpolarized. The function of such bidirectional signaling remains unclear in most circuits....
Tumor-produced ammonia is metabolized by regulatory T cells to further impede anti-tumor immunity [0.03%]
肿瘤产生的氨被调节性T细胞代谢以进一步阻碍抗肿瘤免疫反应
Jian Gu,Yu Li,Qiuyang Chen et al.
Jian Gu et al.
Mechanisms of adaptation of regulatory T cells (Tregs) to harsh tumor metabolic microenvironments for suppression of anti-tumor immunity remain largely unclear. Here, using spatial metabolomics and transcriptomics, we show that human hepato...

Prescription stimulants (e.g., methylphenidate) are thought to improve attention, but evidence from prior fMRI studies is conflicted. We utilized resting-state fMRI data from the Adolescent Brain Cognitive Development Study (n = 11,875; 8-1...
The evolving landscape of Alzheimer's disease therapy: From Aβ to tau [0.03%]
阿尔茨海默病治疗领域的发展：从淀粉样蛋白到tau蛋白质

A marked evolution in Alzheimer's disease (AD) therapy research is ongoing. In this perspective, we highlight emerging outcomes of tau-targeting approaches with disease-modifying potential evidenced by PET-based slowing of tau accumulation ...

In this issue of Cell, Kay and colleagues show robust and reproducible differences in human brain networks associated with stimulants. Individuals taking stimulants had distinct functional connectivity of a set of brain networks linked to b...

In this issue of Cell, Jaschke and Luchsinger et al. uncover a gut-to-brain signaling mechanism that dynamically shapes protein intake. During recovery from extreme fasting, ammonia derived from the metabolism of specific dietary amino acid...
A 3D in vitro model for studying human implantation and implantation failure [0.03%]
一种研究人类着床和着床失败的三维体外模型

A better understanding of human implantation is essential for improving assisted reproduction outcomes and addressing recurrent implantation failure (RIF). However, ethical constraints and limited access to human embryos make direct studies...

Implantation of a human embryo into the endometrium is a crucial event in gestation, as it marks the initiation of a pregnancy and is prone to high failure rates. We have limited understanding of these stages because of the inaccessibility ...
