The growth rate of the atmospheric abundance of methane (CH 4) reached a record high of 15.4 ppb yr −1 between 2020 and 2022, but the mechanisms driving the accelerated CH 4 growth have so far been ...

Many cities seek to alleviate extreme heat via planting trees. However, the cooling achieved by such programs is debated because previous analyses address scales much smaller than the whole-city scale ...

The multiple challenges of managing large-scale PV wastes demand a proactive approach; the costs of being underprepared or unprepared far outweigh those of early preparation. We must anticipate the ...

Auxin regulates plant growth and development through downstream signaling pathways, including the best-known SCF TIR1/AFB -Aux/IAA-ARF pathway and several other less characterized “noncanonical” ...

The brain is a complex system operating out of equilibrium with time-irreversible dynamics. Existing measures of irreversibility cannot identify which multivariate interactions display particularly ...

Biomass-burning organic aerosol (s) (BBOA) not only significantly impact Earth’s climate by absorbing solar radiation but also generate excited triplet states (3 BBOA *) that react with other ...

Mutualistic arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi provide plants with mineral nutrients in exchange for carbon. Plants tightly control AM symbiosis and microbial symbionts interfere with host signaling to ...

Moiré excitons in van der Waals (vdW) structures are of particular interest for both fundamental science and cutting-edge applications. The recent discovery of two-dimensional (2D) magnetic ...

The cardiac voltage-gated sodium channel Na v 1.5 is essential for normal heart function and excitability, with dysfunctions linked to various arrhythmias and heart failure. Achieving a comprehensive ...

Melanocyte development involves key pathways that are often recapitulated during melanoma initiation, highlighting the importance of understanding these regulatory processes. Our study identifies ...

Crops genetically engineered to produce insect-killing proteins from the bacterium Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) control some major pests and reduce use of insecticide sprays. However, evolution of pest ...

Cap-dependent translation is the main mechanism of protein synthesis under normal growth conditions and is initiated by binding of the cap-binding protein eIF4E to the 7-methylguanosine (m 7 G) and ...
