ABSTRACT Diabetic cataracts are a leading cause of blindness, with lens epithelial cells (LECs) exhibiting mitochondrial dysfunction and autophagy inhibition under high glucose (HG) conditions. Methyltransferase‐like 14 (METTL14), an RNA methyltransferase, regulates N6‐methyladenosine (m6A) RNA modification; however, its role in modulating ...

Structure and conformational dynamics of the Pseudomonas CbrA transceptor
Abstract The CbrA protein is a central regulator of carbon metabolism, biofilm formation, and virulence in Pseudomonas species, but the molecular mechanisms by which CbrA links nutrient sensing to downstream signaling has remained unclear. CbrA is a rare “transceptor” that combines membrane transporter and histidine kinase domains into a single ...

River Sand and Gravel Mining: Global Drivers, Impacts, and Pathways for Sustainable Management
Abstract River sand and gravel are mined worldwide at volumes that now rival their natural replenishment, yet quantitative knowledge of this mining activity and its consequences lags far behind many other global environmental pressures. We synthesize 411 peer‐reviewed studies published since 1974 within a new Driver‐to‐Management Pathway for ...

Abstract Desert cities in the U.S. Southwest experience the nation's highest aerosol burdens, but how air pollution co‐evolves with hydroclimatic–LULC metrics and racial/ethnic exposure dynamics remains unclear. We developed 30 m Landsat‐derived summer aerosol optical depth (AOD) (2000–2020) for Phoenix, used explainable machine learning to attribute ...

Volatile Organic Compounds in Rainwater: A New Frontier in Atmosphere–Biosphere Interactions
Abstract Rainwater is a key vector of atmospheric deposition, linking the atmosphere with terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems. While the inorganic chemistry of precipitation (dominated by sulfate, nitrate, ammonium, and trace metals) has been extensively studied, organic compounds in rainwater have received less attention, and Volatile Organic Compounds
