Silver is an antimicrobial agent that is used extensively in consumer products, such as
fabrics and humidifiers. Silver ion (Ag + ) uptake in bacteria represents a crucial phase of …

Silver ions (Ag + ) directly emitted from industrial sources or released from manufactured Ag
nanoparticles (AgNPs) in biosolid-amended soils have raised concern about the risk to …

Mechanosensing describes the ability of a cell to sense mechanical cues of its microenvironment,
including not only all components of force, stress, and strain but also substrate rigidity, …

In this study, acclimation of freshwater nitritation-anammox sludge to remove nitrogen in high
saline and hypersaline wastewater was evaluated, during which the microbes activity and …

Background Patients receiving hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) or chimeric
antigen receptor T cell (CAR T-cell) therapy are immunocompromised and at high risk of viral …

Mechanical stimuli profoundly alter cell fate, yet the mechanisms underlying mechanotransduction
remain obscure because of a lack of methods for molecular force imaging. Here to …

Notch receptor activation initiates cell fate decisions and is distinctive in its reliance on
mechanical force and protein glycosylation. The 2.5-angstrom-resolution crystal structure of the …

The molecular and metabolic mechanisms of foliar selenium (Se) nanoparticles (SeNPs)
application in mitigating cadmium (Cd) toxicity in crops have not been well studied. Herein, …

Background With the growing notion of patient-focused drug development, the quality of life
and other patient-reported outcomes (PROs) of cancer patients are gaining considerable …

The T cell antigen receptor (TCR) expressed on thymocytes interacts with self-peptide major
histocompatibility complex (pMHC) ligands to signal apoptosis or survival. Here, we found …
