Eigenstate control of plasmon wavepackets with electron-channel blockade

Coherent control of plasmon wavepackets is essential for quantum information processing using flying electron qubits. Here, the authors demonstrate a method to isolate and select electron channels contributing to a plasmon using a cavity formed by local constrictions, enabling precise control of plasmon eigenstates.

Chondrule-like objects and Ca-Al-rich inclusions in Ryugu may potentially be the oldest Solar System materials

Chondrule-like objects and CAIs in the Ryugu samples are early generations of chondrules and possibly oldest solids in the Solar System. They were transported from the inner solar nebula to the formation location of the Ryugu original parent body.

The whole blood transcriptional regulation landscape in 465 COVID-19 infected samples from Japan COVID-19 Task Force

Genetic mechanisms influencing COVID-19 susceptibility are not well understood. Here, the authors analyzed whole blood RNA-seq data of 465 Japanese individuals with COVID-19, highlighting thousands of fine-mapped variants affecting expression and splicing of genes, as well as the presence of COVID-19 severity-interaction eQTLs.

Deciphering state-dependent immune features from multi-layer omics data at single-cell resolution

A single-cell multiomic immune cell atlas from 235 Japanese, including patients with COVID-19 and healthy individuals, linked with host genetics including germline and somatic mutation, plasma proteomics and metagenomics data reveals that immune cells are dynamically regulated in a cell state-dependent manner.

Blood DNA virome associates with autoimmune diseases and COVID-19

Analysis of the blood DNA virome in patients with COVID-19 and autoimmune disease associates endogenous HHV-6 (eHHV-6) and high anellovirus load with increased disease risk, most notably for systemic lupus erythematosus. eHHV-6 carriers show a distinct immune response.

Identification of the growth cone as a probe and driver of neuronal migration in the injured brain

Structure and functions of the tip of migratory neurons remain elusive. Here, the authors show that the PTPσ-expressing growth cone senses extracellular matrix changes and drives neuronal migration in the injured brain, leading to the functional recovery.

Single-cell analyses and host genetics highlight the role of innate immune cells in COVID-19 severity

Peripheral blood mononuclear cells from 73 Japanese patients with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) and 75 healthy controls were analyzed using single-cell transcriptomics. Combining these data with genotyping data highlights the interplay between host genetics and the immune response in modulating disease severity.

Spatially resolved gene expression profiling of tumor microenvironment reveals key steps of lung adenocarcinoma development

The role of immune-tumor cell interactions in lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) development remains to be explored. Here, spatial transcriptomics and in situ RNA profiling of samples from 30 LUAD patients reveals changes in the phenotypic properties of tumors cells associated with changes in immune cell features.

Median raphe serotonergic neurons projecting to the interpeduncular nucleus control preference and aversion

Appropriate processing of value information is essential for survival. Here the authors show that in mice, serotonergic activations originating from the median raphe nucleus facilitated aversion in a pathway-dependent manner, while silencing this pathway was rewarding.

Dynamical coupling between a nuclear spin ensemble and electromechanical phonons

Nuclear spins in solids can be implemented into quantum devices but their manipulation usually requires microwave irradiation. Here instead the authors show that they can shift the NMR frequency and drive the nuclear spins into the resolved-sideband regime by using the tunable phonon states from an electromechanical resonator.

Inhibition of 7-dehydrocholesterol reductase prevents hepatic ferroptosis under an active state of sterol synthesis

Ferroptosis has been connected to liver disease through unclear mechanisms. Here, the authors identify the terminal enzyme of cholesterol synthesis, 7-dehydrocholesterol reductase, as a regulator of ferroptosis in hepatocytes that suppresses ferroptosis through 7-dehydrocholesterol accumulation.

Low-voltage-area ablation for persistent atrial fibrillation: a randomized controlled trial

In view of previous work suggesting that low-voltage areas may promote atrial fibrillation, a multicenter, randomized controlled trial tested the hypothesis that ablation of low-voltage areas in addition to pulmonary vein isolation might reduce the recurrence of atrial arrhythmic events, but found no significant benefit to the combined procedure.
