Cell membrane-coated nanoparticles are emerging as a new type of promising nanomaterials for immune evasion and targeted delivery. An underlying premise is that the unique biological functions of ...

Collective cognition is often mentioned as one of the advantages of group living. But which factors actually facilitate group smarts? To answer this, we compared how individuals and groups of either ...

Ecological divergence provides compelling evidence for origin of species through natural selection that has captivated evolutionists since Darwin. In this study, we present multiple-omics analyses and ...

Efficient electrocatalysis, especially electrochemical catalysis, is essential in future sustainable energy systems and carbon neutralization processes. Transition metals and their oxides have been ...

Reports of soil organic carbon (SOC) dynamics in China’s croplands vary substantially due to diverse data sources and the lack of a standardized methodology. Additionally, SOC dynamics in deeper soil ...

Peto’s paradox—the puzzling disconnect between body size and cancer prevalence across species—has long stood as one of comparative biology’s most captivating and unresolved enigmas. Through the ...

Using data from 100 healthy young participants studied during a 9-d inpatient protocol, we constructed analytic action spectra for melatonin suppression and circadian phase resetting in response to ...

For Adam Smith, wealth was related to the division of labor. As people and firms specialize in different activities, economic efficiency increases, suggesting that development is associated with an ...

Many critical policy decisions rely on data about the geographic distribution of wealth and poverty, yet only half of all countries have access to adequate data on poverty. This paper creates a ...

Streptococcus equi subsp. zooepidemicus (SEZ) are Group C streptococci that cause meningitis in animals and humans. Here, we show SEZ releases membrane vesicles (MVs) that contain the SEZ M protein, ...

Jasmonic acid (JA) plays an important role in plant defense against insects, pathogenic fungi and viruses mediated by cell-surface pattern recognition receptors, and intracellular nucleotide-binding ...

Algorithms incorporate biases in the human decisions that comprise their training data, which can amplify and codify discrimination. We examine whether algorithmic biases can be used to reveal and ...
