The muscle nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (AChR) is the key mediator of neuromuscular signal transmission and is essential for all voluntary movement in our body. In this study, we present ...
The biological carbon pump (BCP) stores ∼1,700 Pg C from the atmosphere in the ocean interior, but the magnitude and direction of future changes in carbon sequestration by the BCP are uncertain. We ...

Since the discovery of superconductivity in twisted bilayer graphene in 2018, moiré superlattices have emerged as an important platform for controlling electronic states in two-dimensional (2D) ...
We gratefully acknowledge the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at Virginia Tech for providing experimental support. This research was supported by the Sustainable Nanotechnology ...
Administrative costs have ballooned across industries—raising tuition, healthcare expenses, and employee burnout. Why does this burden persist, and how can it be reversed? We develop a dynamic model ...
As the central kinase in antiviral innate immunity, the activation of TANK-binding kinase 1 (TBK1) must be tightly controlled. However, how host metabolic pathways directly regulate TBK1 activity ...

The Democracy Index finding holds up best. Its negative direct effect on offensive VEI (we use β for SDM coefficients throughout) survives spatial adjustment in every bivariate specification (Table 1) ...
Nature in cities can enhance human well-being by delivering benefits like cooling, clean air and water, and opportunities for recreation and contemplation. Yet natural green (vegetation) and blue ...
