A research team led by Prof. NI Huaiwei found the mechanism and unmixing process of supercritical fluid, revealing spinodal decomposition as a key factor in phase separation. This discovery has important implications for the formation of magmatic hydrothermal deposits.
Researchers discovered two defence systems in bacteria that work together to protect against modified DNA bacteriophages. BrxU has the potential to be a biotechnological tool for mapping the human epigenome, which alters in cancer and neurodegenerative diseases.
A study published in Nature Chemical Biology revealed that crotonylation of EB1 by TIP60 ensures accurate spindle positioning in mitosis. This mechanism is crucial for cell fate determination and organogenesis, and its disruption can lead to cancer.
Researchers from the University of Tsukuba found that blocking CD300a enhances efferocytosis and ameliorates neuronal deficits after ischemic stroke. This process involves the removal of damaged cells in the brain, reducing inflammation and neurological impairment.
