A divergent two-domain structure of the anti-Müllerian hormone prodomain.

TGFβ family ligands are synthesized as precursors consisting of an N-terminal prodomain and C-terminal growth factor (GF) signaling domain. After proteolytic processing, the prodomain typically remains noncovalently associated with the GF, sometimes forming a high-affinity latent procomplex that requires activation. For the TGFβ family ligand anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH), the prodomain maintains a high-affinity interaction with its GF that does not render it latent.

Long-Range Metal-Sorbent Interactions Determine CO Capture and Conversion in Dual-Function Materials.

Carbon capture and utilization involve multiple energy- and cost-intensive steps. Dual-function materials (DFMs) can reduce these demands by coupling CO adsorption and conversion into a single material with two functionalities: a sorbent phase and a metal for catalytic CO conversion. The role of metal catalysts in the conversion process seems salient from previous work, but the underlying mechanisms remain elusive and deserve deeper investigation to achieve maximum utilization of the two phases.

Navigating new threats: Prey naïveté in native mammals.

Invasive predators pose a substantial threat to global biodiversity. Native prey species frequently exhibit naïveté to the cues of invasive predators, and this phenomenon may contribute to the disproportionate impact of invasive predators on prey populations. However, not all species exhibit naïveté, which has led to the generation of many hypotheses to explain patterns in prey responses.

Heat Waves and Adverse Health Events Among Dually Eligible Individuals 65 Years and Older.

Importance: Extensive research has found the detrimental health effects of heat waves. However, a critical gap exists in understanding their association with adverse health events among older dually eligible individuals, who may be particularly susceptible to heat waves.

Objective: To assess the association between heat waves and adverse health events among dually eligible individuals 65 years and older.
