Background Rice is a temperature-sensitive crop and its production is severely affected by
low temperature in temperate and sub-tropical regions. To understand the genetic basis of …

Background γδ T cells were reported to play a key role in ischemic stroke. The integrity of
the blood–brain barrier (BBB) directly affects the prognosis of ischemic stroke. This study …

Three 4.5 wt% Si steel thin sheets with different thicknesses were efficiently fabricated by
twin-roll strip casting, warm rolling and cold rolling followed by final annealing. A …

The precipitation behavior during secondary isothermal aging of Cu–0.8Cr–0.1Zr alloy,
especially the nucleation and growth of nanoscale body-centered cubic (bcc) Cr and orthogonal …

LKB1 is known as a master kinase for 14 kinases related to the adenosine monophosphate (AMP)-activated
protein kinase (AMPK). Two of them (SIK3 and AMPKa) have previously …

Abstract Series of solution annealing experiments and quasi in-situ observation were employed
to investigate the grain growth behaviors based on the heterogeneous microstructure …

Sleep need drives sleep and plays a key role in homeostatic regulation of sleep. So far sleep
need can only be inferred by animal behaviors and indicated by electroencephalography (…

Auxetic materials have shown significant potential for information, medicine, and aerospace
applications. This work predicts a series of single-layer (SL) Cu 2 X (X= O, S, Se) with …

All-perovskite tandem solar cells hold the promise of surpassing the efficiency limits of single-junction
solar cells 1 , 2 – 3 ; however, until now, the best-performing all-perovskite tandem …

Tumour cells evade immune surveillance by upregulating the surface expression of programmed
death-ligand 1 (PD-L1), which interacts with programmed death-1 (PD-1) receptor on T …
