An ancient history of gene duplications, fusions and losses in the evolution of APOBEC3 mutators in mammals

BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2012
BackgroundThe APOBEC3 (A3) genes play a key role in innate antiviral defense in mammals by introducing directed mutations in the DNA. The human genome encodes for seven A3 genes, with multiple splice alternatives.

A Modern Roman‐Inspired Concrete with Daytime Radiative Cooling Capacity

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Coolcrete, inspired by ancient Roman concrete, is a new cementitious material with photonic properties enabling passive daytime radiative cooling. Made from quicklime and zeolites, it reduces cooling energy demand, lowers CO2 emissions, and may eliminate urban heat islands.

Unveiling Novel Viral Diversity, Biogeography, and Host Networks in Wildlife Through High‐Throughput Sequencing Data Mining

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Analysis of 57 536 high‐throughput sequencing datasets uncovers a vast, hidden world of viruses in wildlife. The researchers reveal significant geographic and host‐specific patterns of viruses, and their surprising cross‐species transmissions, such as avian flu viruses infecting goats.

Self‐Assembled Dictamni Cortex Nanoparticles Ameliorate Psoriasis by Epigenetic Modulation of HSP90AB1 and Suppression of the Inflammatory Response

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study develops self‐assembled Dictamni Cortex (BXP)‐Fe(III) infinite coordination polymer nanoparticles (NB) to improve BXP's solubility and bioavailability for psoriasis. NB transdermally treats psoriasis by targeting the epigenetic regulator CTCF (CCCTC‐binding factor), suppressing HSP90AB1 (heat shock protein 90 alpha family class B member 1 ...

Evolutionary Divergence of an Ethylene‐Responsive Transcriptional Cascade Governs a Dose‐Dependent Balance between Cotton Fiber Length and Strength

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A tunable, ethylene‐responsive cascade governing the dose‐dependent balance between fiber length and strength is unveiled. Elevated ethylene strengthens modern tetraploid cotton (G. hirsutum) fibers but elongates those of its diploid ancestor (G. arboreum). This phenotypic switch is traced to an evolutionary functional inversion of a conserved EIN3‐ERF‐
