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 ...

Cell-based therapy using satellite stem cells (SSCs) holds tremendous potential for enhancing muscle regeneration. However, conventional isolation methods often yield heterogeneous cell populations ...

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 ...

Root development is tightly controlled by light, and the response is thought to depend on signal transmission from the shoot. Here, we show that the root apical meristem perceives light independently ...

Our study presents a global assessment of microplastic pollution’s impact on food security. By analyzing a comprehensive dataset of 3,286 records, we quantify the reduction in photosynthesis caused by ...

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 ...

Growing evidence has highlighted the role of small RNAs (sRNA) as trafficking effectors for cross-kingdom RNA interference (RNAi) between interacting organisms. Yet, it remains unknown whether ...

Cerebral (Aβ) plaque and (pTau) tangle deposition are hallmarks of Alzheimer’s disease (AD), yet are insufficient to confer complete AD-like neurodegeneration experimentally. Factors acting upstream ...

During arbuscular mycorrhiza (AM) symbiosis AM fungi form tree-shaped structures called arbuscules in root cortex cells of host plants. Arbuscules and their host cells are central for reciprocal ...

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 ...

Quantum amplification enables the enhancement of weak signals and is of great importance for precision measurements, such as biomedical science and tests of fundamental symmetries. Here, we observe a ...
