Existing haptic actuators are often rigid and limited in their ability to replicate real-world tactile sensations. We present a wearable haptic artificial muscle skin (HAMS) based on fully soft, millimeter-scale, multilayer dielectric elastomer actuators (DEAs) capable of significant out-of-plane deformation, a capability that typically requires rigid or liquid biasing. The DEAs use a thickness-varying multilayer structure to achieve large out-of-plane displacement and force, maintaining comfort and wearability. Experimental results demonstrate that HAMS can produce complex tactile feedback with high perception accuracy. Moreover, we show that HAMS can be integrated into extended reality (XR) systems, enhancing immersion and offering potential applications in entertainment, education, and assistive technologies.
现有的触觉致动器通常比较僵硬,复制真实世界触觉的能力有限。我们展示了一种可穿戴的触觉人造肌肉皮肤(HAMS),它基于完全柔软的毫米级多层介电弹性体致动器(DEA),能够实现显著的平面外变形,而这种能力通常需要刚性或液体偏压。DEA 采用厚度可变的多层结构,可实现较大的平面外位移和力,同时保持舒适性和耐磨性。实验结果表明,HAMS 可以产生复杂的触觉反馈,并且具有很高的感知精度。此外,我们还展示了 HAMS 可以集成到扩展现实(XR)系统中,从而增强沉浸感,并在娱乐、教育和辅助技术领域提供潜在应用。

Mineral aerosols form a key component of Earth’s dynamic biogeochemical systems, yet their composition and mass are variable in time. We reconstruct patterns in mineral aerosol flux from East Asia, the second largest global dust source, in a peat mire in northern Japan. Using geochemical fingerprinting, we show for the past ~3600 years that high but variable tephra flux dominated regional aerosol loads. A human signal was discernible as elevated pollutant metals, along with East Asian mainland dust, identifiable by its geochemical signature. After ~700 years before the present, dust flux increased as the westerly jet intensified and moved south, the summer monsoon strength reduced, and agriculture expanded. From the 20th century, dust flux increased by two times. Attributable largely to human activity, this demarks a major change in aerosol export to the northwestern Pacific with accompanying increases in fluxes for key micronutrients and increased pollution flux by 16 times.
矿物气溶胶是地球动态生物地球化学系统的关键组成部分,但其成分和质量却随时间而变化。我们在日本北部的泥炭沼泽中重建了全球第二大尘埃源--东亚的矿物气溶胶通量模式。利用地球化学指纹识别技术,我们发现在过去约 3600 年间,大量但多变的火山砾通量主导了区域气溶胶负荷。通过地球化学特征可识别出人类信号,即污染物金属以及东亚大陆尘埃的升高。在距今约 700 年之后,随着西风气流的增强和南移、夏季季风强度的减弱以及农业的扩张,尘埃通量有所增加。从 20 世纪开始,沙尘通量增加了两倍。这在很大程度上归因于人类活动,表明向西北太平洋输出的气溶胶发生了重大变化,主要微量营养元素通量随之增加,污染通量增加了 16 倍。

Cellular reprogramming of mammalian glia to an induced neuronal fate holds the potential for restoring diseased brain circuits. While the proneural factor achaete-scute complex-like 1 (Ascl1) is widely used for neuronal reprogramming, in the early postnatal mouse cortex, Ascl1 fails to induce the glia-to-neuron conversion, instead promoting the proliferation of oligodendrocyte progenitor cells (OPC). Since Ascl1 activity is posttranslationally regulated, here, we investigated the consequences of mutating six serine phospho-acceptor sites to alanine (Ascl1SA6) on lineage reprogramming in vivo. Ascl1SA6 exhibited increased neurogenic activity in the glia of the early postnatal mouse cortex, an effect enhanced by coexpression of B cell lymphoma 2 (Bcl2). Genetic fate-mapping revealed that most induced neurons originated from astrocytes, while only a few derived from OPCs. Many Ascl1SA6/Bcl2-induced neurons expressed parvalbumin and were capable of high-frequency action potential firing. Our study demonstrates the authentic conversion of astroglia into neurons featuring subclass hallmarks of cortical interneurons, advancing our scope of engineering neuronal fates in the brain.
将哺乳动物神经胶质细胞重编程为诱导神经元命运有可能恢复患病的大脑回路。尽管朊病毒因子Achaete-scute complex-like 1(Ascl1)被广泛用于神经元重编程,但在小鼠出生后早期皮层中,Ascl1不能诱导胶质细胞向神经元的转化,反而促进了少突胶质细胞祖细胞(OPC)的增殖。由于Ascl1的活性受翻译后调控,我们在此研究了将六个丝氨酸磷酸化受体位点突变为丙氨酸(Ascl1SA6)对体内谱系重编程的影响。Ascl1SA6在出生后早期小鼠皮层神经胶质中表现出更强的神经源活性,B细胞淋巴瘤2(Bcl2)的共表达增强了这种效应。基因命运图谱显示,大多数诱导的神经元起源于星形胶质细胞,只有少数神经元来源于OPCs。许多Ascl1SA6/Bcl2诱导的神经元表达副白蛋白,并能进行高频率的动作电位发射。我们的研究表明,星形胶质细胞能真实地转化为具有皮质中间神经元亚类特征的神经元,从而推进了我们的大脑神经元命运工程的范围。

The master regulator of the DNA damage response, the transcription factor p53, orchestrates multiple downstream responses and coordinates repair processes. In response to double-strand DNA breaks, p53 exhibits pulses of expression, but how it achieves temporal coordination of downstream responses remains unclear. Here, we show that p53’s posttranslational modification state is altered between its first and second pulses of expression. We show that acetylations at two sites, K373 and K382, were reduced in the second pulse, and these acetylations differentially affected p53 target genes, resulting in changes in gene expression programs over time. This interplay between dynamics and modification may offer a strategy for cellular hubs like p53 to temporally organize multiple processes in individual cells.
DNA 损伤反应的主调节因子--转录因子 p53--协调多种下游反应并协调修复过程。在对双链 DNA 断裂做出反应时,p53 表现出脉冲式表达,但它是如何在时间上协调下游反应的仍不清楚。在这里,我们发现 p53 的翻译后修饰状态在其第一次和第二次表达脉冲之间发生了改变。我们发现,在第二个脉冲中,K373 和 K382 这两个位点的乙酰化减少了,这些乙酰化对 p53 靶基因产生了不同的影响,导致基因表达程序随时间发生变化。动态与修饰之间的这种相互作用可能为像 p53 这样的细胞枢纽提供了一种策略,可以在单个细胞中对多个过程进行时间组织。

The evolutionary transition from early synapsids to therian mammals involved profound reorganization in locomotor anatomy and function, centered around a shift from “sprawled” to “erect” limb postures. When and how this functional shift was accomplished has remained difficult to decipher from the fossil record alone. Through biomechanical modeling of hindlimb force-generating performance in eight exemplar fossil synapsids, we demonstrate that the erect locomotor regime typifying modern therians did not evolve until just before crown Theria. Modeling also identifies a transient phase of increased performance in therapsids and early cynodonts, before crown mammals. Further, quantifying the global actions of major hip muscle groups indicates a protracted juxtaposition of functional redeployment and conservatism, highlighting the intricate interplay between anatomical reorganization and function across postural transitions. We infer a complex history of synapsid locomotor evolution and suggest that major evolutionary transitions between contrasting locomotor behaviors may follow highly nonlinear trajectories.
从早期合趾类哺乳动物到有趾类哺乳动物的进化转变涉及运动解剖学和功能的深刻重组,其核心是从 "匍匐 "到 "直立 "的肢体姿势转变。仅从化石记录来看,这种功能转变是何时以及如何完成的,一直难以破解。通过对八种典型合趾类化石的后肢发力性能进行生物力学建模,我们证明了现代食蚁兽典型的直立运动机制直到冠突伪尾柱虫之前才演化出来。建模还发现,在冠哺乳动物之前,有蹄类和早期犬齿类动物的运动性能曾有过短暂的提高。此外,对主要臀部肌肉群的整体行动进行量化表明,功能的重新部署与保守并存,突出了姿势转换过程中解剖重组与功能之间错综复杂的相互作用。我们推断了滑翔类动物运动进化的复杂历史,并认为对比强烈的运动行为之间的主要进化转变可能遵循高度非线性的轨迹。

Protein fibril surfaces tend to generate toxic oligomers catalytically. To date, efforts to study the accelerated aggregation steps involved with Alzheimer’s disease–linked amyloid-β (Aβ)–42 proteins on fibril surfaces have mainly relied on fluorophore-based analytics. Here, we visualize rare secondary nucleation events on the surface of Aβ-42 fibrils from embryonic to endpoint stages using liquid-based atomic force microscopy. Nanoscale imaging supported by atomic-scale molecular simulations tracked the adsorption and proliferation of oligomeric assemblies at nonperiodically spaced catalytic sites on the fibril surface. Upon confirming that fibril edges are preferential binding sites for oligomers during embryonic stages, the secondary fibrillar size changes were quantified during the growth stages. Notably, a small population of fibrils that displayed higher surface catalytic activity was identified as superspreaders. Profiling secondary fibrils during endpoint stages revealed a nearly threefold increase in their surface corrugation, a parameter we exploit to classify fibril subpopulations.
蛋白质纤维表面往往会催化产生有毒的低聚物。迄今为止,研究与阿尔茨海默病相关的淀粉样蛋白-β(Aβ)-42 蛋白在纤维表面的加速聚集步骤主要依赖于基于荧光团的分析方法。在这里,我们利用液基原子力显微镜观察了 Aβ-42 纤维表面从胚胎到终点阶段的罕见二次成核事件。在原子尺度分子模拟的支持下,纳米级成像追踪了纤维表面非周期性间隔催化位点上低聚物集合体的吸附和增殖。在确认纤维边缘是胚胎阶段低聚物的优先结合点后,对生长阶段的次生纤维大小变化进行了量化。值得注意的是,一小部分显示出较高表面催化活性的纤维被鉴定为超级扩散体。在终点阶段对次生纤维进行的分析表明,它们的表面波纹增加了近三倍,我们利用这一参数对纤维亚群进行了分类。

The dopaminergic system is a central component of the brain’s neurobiological framework, governing motor control and reward responses and playing an essential role in various brain disorders. Within this complex network, the nigrostriatal pathway represents a critical circuit for dopamine neurotransmission from the substantia nigra to the striatum. However, stand-alone functional magnetic resonance imaging is unable to study the intricate interplay between brain activation and its molecular underpinnings. In our study, the use of a functional [fluorine-18]2-fluor-2-deoxy-d-glucose positron emission tomography approach, simultaneously with blood oxygen level–dependent functional magnetic resonance imaging, provided an important insight that demonstrates an active suppression of the nigrostriatal activity during optogenetic stimulation. This result increases our understanding of the molecular mechanisms of brain function and provides an important perspective on how dopamine influences hemodynamic responses in the brain.
多巴胺能系统是大脑神经生物学框架的核心组成部分,控制着运动控制和奖赏反应,并在各种大脑疾病中发挥着至关重要的作用。在这个复杂的网络中,黑质纹状体通路是多巴胺神经传递从黑质到纹状体的关键回路。然而,独立的功能磁共振成像无法研究大脑激活与其分子基础之间错综复杂的相互作用。在我们的研究中,使用功能性[氟-18]2-氟-2-脱氧-d-葡萄糖正电子发射断层扫描方法与血氧水平依赖性功能性磁共振成像同时进行,提供了一个重要的见解,证明了在光遗传刺激过程中黑质活动的主动抑制。这一结果增加了我们对大脑功能分子机制的了解,并为多巴胺如何影响大脑血流动力学反应提供了一个重要视角。

Bayesian electron density determination from sparse and noisy single-molecule X-ray scattering images 从稀疏且有噪声的单分子 X 射线散射图像中确定贝叶斯电子密度

Single molecule x-ray scattering experiments using free-electron lasers hold the potential to resolve biomolecular structures and structural ensembles. However, molecular electron density determination has so far not been achieved because of low photon counts, high noise levels, and low hit rates. Most approaches therefore focus on large specimen like entire viruses, which scatter sufficiently many photons to allow orientation determination of each image. Small specimens like proteins, however, scatter too few photons for the molecular orientations to be determined. Here, we present a rigorous Bayesian approach to overcome these limitations, additionally taking into account intensity fluctuations, beam polarization, irregular detector shapes, incoherent scattering, and background scattering. We demonstrate using synthetic scattering images that electron density determination of small proteins is possible in this extreme high noise Poisson regime. Tests on published virus data achieved the detector-limited resolution of 9 nm, using only 0.01% of the available photons per image.
使用自由电子激光器进行的单分子 X 射线散射实验具有解析生物分子结构和结构组合的潜力。然而,由于光子数少、噪声大、命中率低,迄今为止还无法实现分子电子密度的测定。因此,大多数方法都侧重于大型标本(如整个病毒),这些标本会散射足够多的光子,从而可以确定每幅图像的方向。而蛋白质等小样本散射的光子太少,无法确定分子方向。在这里,我们提出了一种严格的贝叶斯方法来克服这些局限性,此外还考虑了强度波动、光束偏振、不规则探测器形状、非相干散射和背景散射。我们利用合成散射图像证明,在这种极端高噪声泊松机制下,可以测定小蛋白质的电子密度。对已公布的病毒数据进行的测试达到了 9 nm 的探测器极限分辨率,每幅图像只使用了可用光子的 0.01%。

Cellular senescence is a stress-induced irreversible cell cycle arrest involved in tumor suppression and aging. Many stresses, such as telomere shortening and oncogene activation, induce senescence by damaging nuclear DNA. However, the mechanisms linking DNA damage to senescence remain unclear. Here, we show that DNA damage response (DDR) signaling to mitochondria triggers senescence. A genome-wide small interfering RNA screen implicated the outer mitochondrial transmembrane protein BNIP3 in senescence induction. We found that BNIP3 is phosphorylated by the DDR kinase ataxia telangiectasia mutated (ATM) and contributes to an increase in the number of mitochondrial cristae. Stable isotope labeling metabolomics indicated that the increase in cristae enhances fatty acid oxidation (FAO) to acetyl–coenzyme A (acetyl-CoA). This promotes histone acetylation and expression of the cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor p16INK4a. Notably, pharmacological activation of FAO alone induced senescence both in vitro and in vivo. Thus, mitochondrial energy metabolism plays a critical role in senescence induction and is a potential intervention target to control senescence.
细胞衰老是一种压力诱导的不可逆细胞周期停滞,与肿瘤抑制和衰老有关。许多压力,如端粒缩短和癌基因激活,都会通过损伤核 DNA 来诱导衰老。然而,DNA损伤与衰老的关联机制仍不清楚。在这里,我们发现DNA损伤应答(DDR)信号传导到线粒体会引发衰老。一项全基因组小干扰 RNA 筛选发现,线粒体外跨膜蛋白 BNIP3 与衰老诱导有关。我们发现,BNIP3被DDR激酶共济失调性毛细血管扩张症突变(ATM)磷酸化,有助于线粒体嵴数量的增加。稳定同位素标记代谢组学表明,嵴的增加促进了脂肪酸氧化(FAO)为乙酰辅酶A(乙酰-CoA)。这促进了组蛋白乙酰化和细胞周期蛋白依赖性激酶抑制剂 p16 INK4a 的表达。值得注意的是,仅药物激活 FAO 就会在体外和体内诱导衰老。因此,线粒体能量代谢在衰老诱导中起着关键作用,是控制衰老的潜在干预目标。

Biomolecular assemblies are fundamental to life and viral disease. The spatiotemporal coordination of viral replication and assembly is largely unknown. Here, we developed a dual-color click chemistry procedure for imaging adenovirus DNA (vDNA) replication in the cell nucleus. Late- but not early-replicated vDNA was packaged into virions. Early-replicated vDNA segregated from the viral replication compartment (VRC). Single object tracking, superresolution microscopy, fluorescence recovery after photobleaching, and correlative light-electron microscopy revealed a stepwise assembly program involving vDNA and capsid intermediates. Depending on replication and the scaffolding protein 52K, late-replicated vDNA with rapidly exchanging green fluorescent protein–tagged capsid linchpin protein V and incomplete virions emerged from the VRC periphery. These nanogel-like puncta exhibited restricted movements and were located with the capsid proteins hexon, VI, and virions in the nuclear periphery, suggestive of sites for virion formation. Our findings identify VRC dynamics and assembly intermediates, essential for stepwise productive adenovirus morphogenesis.
生物分子组装是生命和病毒疾病的基础。病毒复制和组装的时空协调在很大程度上是未知的。在这里,我们开发了一种双色点击化学程序,用于对细胞核中腺病毒 DNA(vDNA)的复制进行成像。晚期复制的 vDNA 而非早期复制的 vDNA 被包装成病毒。早期复制的 vDNA 与病毒复制区(VRC)分离。单个物体跟踪、超分辨率显微镜、光漂白后荧光恢复和相关光电子显微镜揭示了涉及 vDNA 和囊膜中间体的逐步组装程序。根据复制和支架蛋白 52K 的不同,晚期复制的 vDNA 与快速交换的绿色荧光蛋白标记的噬菌体关键蛋白 V 以及不完整的病毒从 VRC 外围出现。这些纳米凝胶状点状物的移动受到限制,它们与帽状蛋白 hexon、VI 和病毒一起位于核外围,表明这些点状物是病毒形成的场所。我们的研究结果确定了 VRC 的动力学和组装中间体,它们对逐步生产腺病毒的形态发生至关重要。
