Waveguide Photoactuators: Materials, Fabrication, and Applications

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
Waveguide photoactuators convert guided light into mechanical motion. Their tethered‐flexible design enables minimally invasive surgery and confined‐space robotics. This review aims to guide materials selection, device design, and system integration, accelerating the transition of waveguide photoactuators from laboratory prototypes to versatile ...

Conformationally Driven Dual Fluorescence Properties of Higher Heteroacenes With Periodically Incorporated Boron Atoms

Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
We herein report the synthesis of a new heteroheptacene derivative with periodically incorporated six boron atoms. This compound exhibits dual fluorescence attributed to two interconvertible conformers that result from a delicate balance between the extended π‐system and the steric demand of bulky aryl groups attached to the boron centers.

CypD Dependent mPTP Opening Is Crucial for Oxidized Mitochondrial DNA Release in Ferroptosis

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Ferroptosis is driven by mitochondrial permeability transition pore (mPTP) opening, which induces mitochondrial swelling and releases oxidized mitochondrial DNA. The released mtDNA activates cGAS–STING signaling, promotes ferritinophagy, and amplifies ferroptotic cell death. Disruption of mtDNA repair sensitizes tumors to ferroptosis in vivo, revealing

Competition with insectivorous ants as a contributor to low songbird diversity at low elevations in the eastern Himalaya

Ecology and Evolution, 2020
Competitive interactions between distantly related clades could cause complementary diversity patterns of these clades over large spatial scales. One such example might be ants and birds in the eastern Himalaya; ants are very common at low elevations but

Mechanisms of species coexistence and functional diversity of ant assemblages in forest and pasture habitats in southwestern Brazilian Amazon

Sociobiology, 2020
In this study, we investigated the mechanisms behind species coexistence and the relationships between functional diversity and species richness in ant assemblages in both forest and pasture habitats in the southwestern Brazilian Amazon. We addressed the

The Disordered Region of ASXL1 Acts as an Auto‐Regulator Through Condensation

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
ASXL1's long IDR encodes an electrostatic “basic platform + acidic brake” that autoregulates condensation. Truncation at a clinical hotspot lifts this brake, forming condensates that retarget BRD2, remodel local chromatin accessibility, and impair neutrophil maturation.

UBE2T‐Driven p53 Degradation Rewires Glycolysis to Orchestrate Lactylation‐Mediated CAFs Activation and ECM Deposition in Pancreatic Cancer

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study integrates multi‐omics to reveal the critical role of UBE2T in driving malignancy and stromal co‐evolution in PDAC. UBE2T potentiates glycolysis by regulating p53 degradation via a positive feedback loop, thereby promoting histone H3 lysine 18 lactylation in CAFs and stromal deposition. The UBE2T inhibitor PGG represents a potential strategy

Effects of Urbanization on the Diversity, Abundance, and Composition of Ant Assemblages in an Arid City

Environmental Entomology, 2019
Cities within arid regions make up a significant but understudied subset of the urban ecosystems of the world. To assess the effects of urbanization, fragmentation, and land-use change in an arid city, we sampled the ant assemblages in three habitat ...
