Transposable Element–Driven PIEZO Mutation Enhances Locust Flight in Plateau Hypoxia

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Why transposable elements (TEs) persisted or expanded in genomes remains a mystery. Using integrated analysis of TE macro‐ and microevolution in locusts, our results showed that thousands of TE insertions promoted widespread adaptive variation. Subfamilies of candidate adaptive TEs amplified and reshaped species‐level genomic architecture.

Myeloid p38 activation maintains macrophage–liver crosstalk and BAT thermogenesis through IL‐12–FGF21 axis

Hepatology, EarlyView., 2022
Physiological activation of myeloid p38 controls macrophage IL‐12 production and crosstalk to the liver by modulating hepatic FGF21, and subsequently, brown adipose tissue thermogenesis during obesity Abstract Obesity features excessive fat accumulation in several body tissues and induces a state of chronic low‐grade inflammation that contributes to ...

Localized Heterogeneous Nucleation for Vapor‐Assisted Sequential Deposition of Metal Halide Perovskites

Advanced Energy Materials, EarlyView.
A compact, nonporous, and highly crystalline layered inorganic precursor formed by thermal evaporation inherently restricts its conversion into the halide perovskite phase during vapor‐assisted hybrid two‐step deposition. Introducing localized heterogeneous nucleation sites during vapor deposition enables deliberate modulation of the inorganic layer's ...
