Plasma membranes contain dynamic nanoscale domains that organize lipids and receptors. Because viruses operate at similar scales, this architecture shapes early infection steps, including attachment, receptor engagement, and entry. Using influenza A virus and HIV‐1 as examples, we highlight how receptor nanoclusters, multivalent glycan interactions ...

The accuracy of the focal mechanism solution can depend very significantly on the number of stations used, especially in the case of weak earthquakes and sparse networks.

Embryo‐like structures (stembryos) are an innovative tool, but they are hindered by experimental variability and limited developmental potential. DNA methylation is crucial for mammalian development, but its status in stembryo models is poorly characterized.

Comparison of Crustal Stress and Strain Fields in the Himalaya–Tibet Region: Geodynamic Implications
The Himalaya–Tibet region represents a complex region of active deformation related to the ongoing India–Eurasia convergence process. To provide additional constraints on the active processes shaping this region, we used a comprehensive dataset of GNSS ...

pH‐mediated activation of the lysosomal arginine sensor SLC38A9
Cells monitor nutrient levels via the lysosomal transporter SLC38A9 to activate the mechanistic target of rapamycin complex 1 (mTORC1). This study reveals that SLC38A9 function is regulated by pH. We identified histidine 544 as a critical pH sensor that undergoes conformational changes to control amino acid efflux from lysosomes; therefore, it ...

Dilatancy and the seismic focal mechanism [PDF]
In a recent paper F. C. Frank suggested that the seismic focal stress drop might by the consequence of a mechanical instability of deformation due to dilatancy of the crust and mantle. A more complete calculation shows that the instability attributed to dilatancy is a familiar general property of compacted granular masses independent of dilatancy.

Characteristics of focal mechanisms in Chile subduction
We use the Centroid Moment Tensor (CMT) solution of the earthquakes occurred in Chile subduction to analyze the characteristics of focal mechanisms. We define the angle between P, B, and T axes of focal mechanisms and three stress axes of tectonic stress

Ascidian Ciona larvae initially show strong clockwise tail twisting, which is largely corrected during development. However, a small residual twist remains. This study shows that organized helical myofibrils in tail muscles mechanically stabilize this residual asymmetry, preventing complete restoration of bilateral symmetry and revealing how embryos ...

The Intraplate Stress Field of West Africa
West Africa continues to host a growing number of low and intermediate‐magnitude earthquakes (M2‐5) along its passive margins, and its continental interior.

Which is heterogeneous, stress or strength? An estimation from high-density seismic observations
Using data from high-density seismic observation networks installed in the western Nagano Prefecture region in Japan, we precisely determined focal mechanisms and estimated the high-resolution stress field at a scale of 1 km.
