NAD+-derived signal produced by TIR domain triggered the host immune responses. The ubiquitous TPR domain involved in signal recognition and effector activation were found widely assembled with the TIR domain. However, the immune roles of these assemblies remain elusive. Here, a two-gene operon, one containing a TIR domain, designated as BcTir, and the other, BcTpr, from Bacillus cereus,…
In the growing diversity of human iPSC-derived models of brain development, we present here a novel method that exhibits 3D cortical layer formation in a…
AUTS2 mutations often exhibit neurodevelopmental disorders and microcephaly. However, how AUTS2 regulates neuron production and affects brain size remains unclear. Here, we show that AUTS2…
The prevalence of antibiotic resistance and tolerance in wound infection management poses a serious and growing health threat, necessitating the exploration of alternative approaches. Antimicrobial…
The recent steep decline of critically endangered North Atlantic right whales ( Eubalaena glacialis ) can be attributed to high mortality combined with low reproduction.…
In order to forage for food, many animals regulate not only specific limb movements but the statistics of locomotor behavior over time, for example switching…
Homologous recombination is a meiotic process that generates diversity along the genome and interacts with all evolutionary forces. Despite its importance, studies of recombination landscapes…
The elongation of C. elegans embryos allows examination of mechanical interactions between adjacent tissues. Muscle contractions during late elongation induce the remodelling of epidermal circumferential…
Mechanosensory hair cells located in the inner ear mediate the sensations of hearing and balance. If damaged, mammalian inner ear hair cells are unable to…
The structure and dynamics of the cell nucleus regulate nearly every facet of the cell. Changes in nuclear shape limit cell motility and gene expression.…
Pulmonary Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) infection results in highly heterogeneous lesions ranging from granulomas with central necrosis to those primarily comprised of alveolitis. While alveolitis has…
