Mice were orally immunized twice with 10 CFU of EBY100/pYD1-FaeG, followed by a challenge with F4+ ETEC EC6 on day 7 post-immunization.

General-purpose machine-learned potential for 16 elemental metals and their alloys.

Machine-learned potentials (MLPs) have exhibited remarkable accuracy, yet the lack of general-purpose MLPs for a broad spectrum of elements and their alloys limits their applicability. Here, we present a promising approach for constructing a unified general-purpose MLP for numerous elements, demonstrated through a model (UNEP-v1) for 16 elemental metals and their alloys. To achieve a complete representation of the chemical space, we show, via principal component analysis and diverse test datasets, that employing one-component and two-component systems suffices.

First-Principles Calculations and Machine Learning of Hydrogen Evolution Reaction Activity of Nonmetallic Doped β-MoC Support Pt Single-Atom Catalysts.

The most widely used catalyst for the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) is Pt, but the high cost and low abundance of Pt need to be urgently addressed. Single-atom catalysts (SACs) have been an effective means of improving the utilization of Pt atoms. In this work, we used a nonmetal (NM = B, N, O, F, Si, P, S, Cl, As, Se, Br, Te, and I) doped β-MoC (100) C-termination surface as the support, with Pt atoms dispersed on the support surface to construct Pt@NM-MoC.

Insight into using multi-omics analysis to elucidate nitrogen removal mechanisms in a novel improved constructed rapid infiltration system: Functional gene and metabolite signatures.

In this study, a laboratory-scale improved constructed rapid infiltration (imCRI) system with non-saturated and saturated layers was constructed, and corn cobs as solid carbon source were added to the saturated layer to enhance the removal of nitrogen. Combined analyses of metagenomics and metabolomics were conducted to elucidate the nitrogen removal mechanism in the imCRI system. The results showed that the hydraulic load significantly influenced the treatment performance of the imCRI system, and a hydraulic load of 1.

Foot-and-mouth disease virus (FMDV) negatively regulates ZFP36 protein expression to alleviate its antiviral activity.

Zinc finger protein 36 (ZFP36) is a key regulator of inflammatory and cytokine production. However, the interplay between swine zinc-finger protein 36 (sZFP36) and foot-and-mouth disease virus (FMDV) has not yet been reported. Here, we demonstrate that overexpression of sZFP36 restricted FMDV replication, while the knockdown of sZFP36 facilitated FMDV replication.

Developmental changes in numerosity and area perception in school-age children.

Humans can quickly estimate the quantity of objects in their environment through the Approximate Number System (ANS). However, the developmental trajectories of numerical and spatial perception in school-aged children are not well understood.

Protection against the H1N1 influenza virus using self-assembled nanoparticles formed by lumazine synthase and bearing the M2e peptide.

There is an urgent need for influenza vaccines that offer broad cross-protection. The highly conserved ectodomain of the influenza matrix protein 2 (M2e) is a promising candidate; however, its low immunogenicity can be addressed. In this study, we developed influenza vaccines using the Lumazine synthase (LS) platform.

Developmental changes of the impact of visual cues on ANS acuity across grades 1-5: Different patterns of visual cues on numerosity processing.

Numerous studies have consistently demonstrated the presence of the approximate number system (ANS) throughout development. Research has also revealed that visual cues may influence the ANS acuity, which may change with age. However, most studies have drawn conclusions based on performance differences between incongruent and congruent trials, which may be confounded by an individual's ability to inhibit interference.

Legumain-deficient macrophages regulate inflammation and lipid metabolism in adipose tissues to protect against diet-induced obesity.

Adipose tissue macrophages (ATMs) are key players in the development of obesity and associated metabolic inflammation, which contributes to systemic metabolic dysfunction, and understanding the interaction between macrophages and adipocytes is crucial for developing novel macrophage-based strategies against obesity. Here, we found that Legumain (Lgmn), a well-known lysosomal cysteine protease, is expressed mainly in the ATMs of obese mice. To further define the potential role of Lgmn-expressing macrophages in the generation of an aberrant metabolic state, Lgmn; LysM mice, which do not express Lgmn in macrophages, were maintained on a high-fat diet (HFD), and metabolic parameters were assessed.

African swine fever virus MGF505-6R attenuates type I interferon production by targeting STING for degradation.

African swine fever (ASF) is an acute hemorrhagic and devastating infectious disease affecting domestic pigs and wild boars. It is caused by the African swine fever virus (ASFV), which is characterized by genetic diversity and sophisticated immune evasion strategies. To facilitate infection, ASFV encodes multiple proteins to antagonize host innate immune responses, thereby contributing to viral virulence and pathogenicity.
