Electronic tuning of RuO₂ polarizes metal–oxygen redox for proton exchange membrane water electrolysis

Anode catalysts in proton-exchange-membrane water electrolyzers usually trade activity for stability. Here, the authors report an electronic-structure-tuning strategy that modulates the metal–oxygen redox behavior of RuO₂, yielding a catalyst that is both highly active and durable.

A molecularly defined brain circuit module for regulating panic-like defensive state

Neural circuit mechanisms that regulate the panic-like defensive state are not fully understood. Using a robot-based experimental paradigm, the authors identify Cbln2-expressing (Cbln2+) neurons in the mouse posterior hypothalamic nucleus (PHN) as a key neuronal population essential for the induction of panic-like defensive state.

Test of local realism via entangled \(\Lambda \bar{\Lambda }\) system

While Bell inequalities have been violated several times—mostly in photonic systems—their violations within particle physics experiments are less explored. Here, the BESIII Collaboration showcases Bell-violating nonlocal correlations between entangled hyperon pairs.

Disparities in high fasting plasma glucose-related cardiovascular disease burden in China

Evidence for comprehensive assessment of cardiovascular disease (CVD) burden attributable to high fasting plasma glucose (FPG) in China is limited. Here, the authors show CVD deaths attributable to high FPG varied substantially across China. Exposure to high FPG and population aging were the primary drivers of increased CVD burden.

Triboelectric nanogenerator sensors for soft robotics aiming at digital twin applications

Designing efficient sensors for human machine interaction remains a challenge. Here, the authors present a soft robotic fingers system based on a triboelectric nanogenerator (L-TENG) sensor to capture the continuous motion of soft gripper and a soft tactile (T-TENG) sensor for tactile sensing, that can achieve an object recognition accuracy of 98.1%.

Cleavage of GSDMD by inflammatory caspases determines pyroptotic cell death

CRISPR-Cas9 genome-editing screens identify gasdermin D as a substrate for inflammatory caspases, and its N-terminal cleavage fragment, as well as the equivalent regions in other gasdermins, is shown to be capable of inducing pyroptosis.

Kir2.1-mediated membrane potential promotes nutrient acquisition and inflammation through regulation of nutrient transporters

Potassium channels and membrane potential may influence macrophage function during inflammation. Here the authors show that the Kir2.1 potassium channel affects macrophage metabolism by altering cell surface retention of nutrient transporters and subsequently regulates inflammatory disease responses.

The long noncoding RNA LUCAT1 regulates endometrial receptivity via the miR-495-3p/S100P axis

The expression of lncRNA LUCAT1 is upregulated in endometrial tissues and cells during the receptive phase and acts as a molecular sponge for miR-495-3p, thereby modulating S100P expression and promoting endometrial receptivity.
