A Cold Stress‐Activated Endocrine Sentinel Chemical Hormone Promotes Insect Survival via Mitochondrial Adaptations Through the Adipokinetic Hormone Receptor

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Seasonal cold adaptation is vital for insect survival, yet the molecular mechanisms linking diapause to mitochondrial resilience remain largely unresolved. We identify ascaroside C9 (asc‐C9) as a key endocrine signal that enhances diapause survival during cold stress by activating the AKHR–PGC1α–UCP4 axis, thereby driving cold‐induced lipolysis and ...

Precision Editing of NLRS Improves Effector Recognition for Enhanced Disease Resistance

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Precision engineering of plant NLR immune receptors enables rational design of enhanced pathogen resistance through mismatched pairing, domain swapping, and targeted mutagenesis. These approaches achieve multi‐fold expansion in recognition breadth while minimizing autoimmunity risks and fitness penalties.

Ferromagnetic Interlayer Exchange Coupling in Magnetic Topological Insulator Sandwich Heterostructures

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A thin topological insulator (Bi2Te3) inserted between two single magnetic septuple layers of MnBi2Te4 is shown to convert the intrinsic antiferromagnetic interlayer coupling into robust ferromagnetism. As the Bi2Te3 spacer thickness increases from 1 to 4 quintuple layers, the weakening coercivity, Curie temperature, and interlayer coupling reveal ...
