Isolation and electrochemical analysis of a facultative anaerobic electrogenic strain Klebsiella sp. SQ-1

The paper isolates a facultative anaerobic electrogenic strain Klebsiella sp. SQ-1 and demonstrates its high current density and power density in microbial fuel cells.

Epigenetic Reshaping through Damage: Promoting Cell Fate Transition by BrdU and IdU Incorporation

The paper investigates how BrdU and IdU incorporation through DNA damage repair induces epigenetic changes that promote cell fate transition.

Adipose contributes to CXCL5 regulated immune evasion in pancreatic cancer

This study identifies CXCL5 as a key adipose-derived chemokine that promotes immune evasion in pancreatic cancer, showing that its depletion enhances T cell infiltration and response to PD-1 checkpoint inhibitors in obese mice.

Mechanism underlying delayed rectifying in human voltage-mediated activation Eag2 channel

This study identifies the molecular mechanism of voltage sensing in hEag2 channels, revealing how the S4-S5 linker and potassium ion contribute to delayed rectifier properties and the Cole-Moore effect.

Mechanism of physical force induced human slack channel desensitization

This study identifies hSlack as a voltage-dependent physical force-induced desensitization potassium channel, showing structural and functional changes mediated by pore lipids.

Cryo-EM structures of kalium channelrhodopsins KCRs

The paper reports cryo-EM structures of HcKCR1 and HcKCR2, revealing their conducting and non-conducting states and mechanisms of potassium selectivity and light-gating.

Engineering Cell-Permeable Proteins through Insertion of Cell-Penetrating Motifs into Surface Loops

This paper engineers cell-permeable proteins by inserting cell-penetrating motifs into surface loops, demonstrating effectiveness in delivering proteins into mammalian cells and showing biological activity in assays.
