The mammalian brain consists of millions to billions cells that are organized into many cell types with specific spatial distribution patterns and structural functional properties1-3. Here we report a comprehensive high-resolution transcriptomic cell-type atlas for the whole adult mouse brain. was created by combining single-cell RNA-sequencing (scRNA-seq) dataset around 7 million profiled (approximately 4.0 passing quality control), approximately 4.3 using multiplexed error-robust...
In mammalian brains, millions to billions of cells form complex interaction networks enable a wide range functions. The enormous diversity and intricate organization have impeded our understanding the molecular cellular basis brain function. Recent advances in spatially resolved single-cell transcriptomics enabled systematic mapping spatial molecularly defined cell types tissues1-3, including several regions (for example, refs. 1-11). However, comprehensive atlas whole is still missing. Here...

Abstract Binding and unbinding of transcription regulators at operator sites constitute a primary mechanism for gene regulation. While many cellular factors are known to regulate their binding, little is on how cells can modulate Using nanometer-precision single-molecule tracking, we study the kinetics from DNA two metal-sensing in living Escherichia coli cells. We find that they show unusual concentration-dependent chromosomal recognition both apo holo forms. Unexpectedly, further varies...

This study evaluated the protective of curcumin (CUR) against lead (Pb)-induced toxicities Healthy Cyprinus carpio L. individuals were segregated into control, Pb only, Pb+CUR, CUR only groups. groups exposed to 1 mg L −1 Pb, fed a basal diet supplemented with 15 g kg−1 CUR. After eight weeks, growth performance, accumulation tissues, various haemato-biochemical...
Summary The periaqueductal gray (PAG) is a critical midbrain hub that relays information from the forebrain to motor and autonomic brainstem centers orchestrate instinctive behaviors. current organization of PAG into four main radial columns lacks resolution needed account for vast range functions. Using spatially resolved single-cell transcriptomic measurements, we uncovered widespread transcriptional heterogeneity in with >100 excitatory inhibitory neuronal populations, which further...
Narrow mesoscopic NiFe/Cu/Co elliptical rings exhibit room-temperature giant magnetoresistance with distinct resistance levels corresponding to three different micromagnetic states. The highest and lowest states of the multilayer correspond Co layer being in a bidomain state, antiparallel or parallel, respectively, NiFe, while intermediate corresponds vortex state. Micromagnetic simulations suggest that behavior these is dominated by magnetostatic interactions between domain walls NiFe...
The remanent states and hysteretic behavior of thin-film magnetic rings has been investigated experimentally by micromagnetic modeling. Rings diameters 160--520 nm, made from Co using lift-off processing, show three distinct states: a vortex state, an ``onion'' state with two head-on walls, ``twisted'' containing $360\ifmmode^\circ\else\textdegree\fi{}$ wall. range stability these varies ring geometry, smaller width showing higher switching fields greater variability.
A series of two dimensional close-packed $\mathrm{Co}$, $\mathrm{NiFe}$, and $\mathrm{CoFe}∕\mathrm{Cu}∕\mathrm{NiFe}$ magnetic particle arrays, in which the particles have mean diameters $34\phantom{\rule{0.3em}{0ex}}\mathrm{nm}$, thicknesses $5--20\phantom{\rule{0.3em}{0ex}}\mathrm{nm}$, periodicity $56\phantom{\rule{0.3em}{0ex}}\mathrm{nm}$, were made using a process based on self-assembled polystyrene-$b$-polyferrocenyldimethylsilane block copolymer templates.

Significance MerR-family regulators act on suboptimal promoters to control the transcriptions of genes that help bacteria defend against a diverse set metals and drugs. How they modulate RNA polymerase (RNAP) activity transcription initiation remains unclear, however. Here we show CueR—a Cu + -responsive metalloregulator—biases kinetic sampling RNAP binding events lead two noninterconverting states: dead-end complex repress or an open activate transcription, constituting branched pathway...

Many research studies have aimed to address this challenge, and the delivery vaccines using biocompatible nano‐delivery systems is widely investigated. Nanoparticles (NPs) tremendous potential for application as vehicles novel vaccines. At present, various polymeric non‐polymeric NPs utilized deliver aquatic species. This...
Abstract Background Antibiotic-resistant bacteria have emerged as a serious problem; bacteriophages have, therefore, been proposed therapeutic alternative to antibiotics. Several authorities, such pharmacopeia, FDA, confirmed their safety, and some are commercially available worldwide. The demand for is expected increase exponentially in the future; hence, there an urgent need mass-produce economically. Unlike replication of non-lytic bacteriophages, lytic replicated by lysing host bacteria,...
The flux-closed or "vortex" state in thin-film magnetic rings has been proposed as a data storage token, but it proven difficult to control the vortex chirality simple manner. Here, model is described that predicts of an elliptical ring function direction applied field and exchange bias, based on change energy system domain walls move. Experimental measurements Co Co/IrMn with 3.2 microm major axis are excellent agreement model. circulation can therefore be tailored appropriate combination...
Significance Multicomponent efflux pumps confer clinically relevant drug resistance in Gram-negative bacteria. These pumps, once assembled to function, traverse the periplasm linking inner and outer membranes tightly. However, little is known on how these can operate efficiently without compromising periplasmic plasticity. We show here that Escherichia coli , tripartite complex CusCBA for Cu + Ag exists as a dynamic structure shifts toward form response metal stress. Unexpectedly, adaptor...

Here we show that in bacteria, mechanical stresses can interrupt the structure function a molecular assembly used by Gram-negative bacteria to survive grow presence toxins. This work provides evidence like mammalian cells, respond through complexes at surface ways are relevant growth. Our observations further suggest may be synergistically with...
The recent outbreak of blight in pome fruit plants has been a major concern as there are two indistinguishable Erwinia species, amylovora and E. pyrifoliae, which cause South Korea. Although is strict management protocol consisting antibiotic-based prevention, the area number cases outbreaks have increased. In this study, we isolated four bacteriophages, pEp_SNUABM_03, 04, 11, 12, that infect both pyrifoliae evaluated their potential antimicrobial agents for administration against...
Since its introduction as a model organism in the 1980s, use of zebrafish (Danio rerio) research has expanded worldwide. Despite now widespread research, guidelines to safeguard ethical treatment zebrafish, particularly with regard euthanasia and humane endpoint practices, remain inadequate. One well-recognized example is excess tricaine methanesulfonate (MS-222) means euthanize regardless life stage. In this study, through nationwide expert elicitation, we provide detailed account practices...
