A CD36-dependent non-canonical lipid metabolism program promotes immune escape and resistance to hypomethylating agent therapy in AML.

Environmental lipids are essential for fueling tumor energetics, but whether these exogenous lipids transported into cancer cells facilitate immune escape remains unclear. Here, we find that CD36, a transporter for exogenous lipids, promotes acute myeloid leukemia (AML) immune evasion. We show that, separately from its established role in lipid oxidation, CD36 on AML cells senses oxidized low-density lipoprotein (OxLDL) to prime the TLR4-LYN-MYD88-nuclear factor κB (NF-κB) pathway, and exogenous palmitate transfer via CD36 further potentiates this innate immune pathway by supporting ZDHHC6-mediated MYD88 palmitoylation.

Inflammation in Steatotic Liver Diseases: Pathogenesis and Therapeutic Targets.

Alcohol-related liver disease (ALD) and metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD), two main types of steatotic liver disease (SLDs), are characterized by a wide spectrum of several different liver disorders, including simple steatosis, steatohepatitis, cirrhosis, and hepatocellular carcinoma. Multiple immune cell-mediated inflammatory responses not only orchestrate the killing and removal of infected/damaged cells but also exacerbate the development of SLDs when excessive or persistent inflammation occurs. In recent years, single-cell and spatial transcriptome analyses have revealed the heterogeneity of liver-infiltrated immune cells in ALD and MASLD, revealing a new immunopathological picture of SLDs.

Design Principle of Molybdenum-Based Metal Nitrides for Lattice Nitrogen-Mediated Ammonia Production.

Chemical looping ammonia synthesis (CLAS) is a promising technology for reducing the high energy consumption of the conventional ammonia synthesis process. However, the comprehensive understanding of reaction mechanisms and rational design of novel nitrogen carriers has not been achieved due to the high complexity of catalyst structures and the unrevealed relationship between electronic structure and intrinsic activity. Herein, we propose a multistage strategy to establish the connection between catalyst intrinsic activity and microscopic electronic structure fingerprints using density functional theory computational energetics as bridges and apply it to the rational design of metal nitride catalysts for lattice nitrogen-mediated ammonia production.

Global patterns and ecological drivers of taxonomic and phylogenetic endemism in angiosperm genera.

Endemism of lineages lies at the core of understanding variation in community composition among geographic regions because it reflects how speciation, extinction, and dispersal have influenced current distributions. Here, we investigated geographic patterns and ecological drivers of taxonomic and phylogenetic endemism of angiosperm genera across the world. We identify centers of paleo-endemism and neo-endemism of angiosperm genera, and show that they are mostly located in the Southern Hemisphere in tropical and subtropical regions, particularly in Asia and Australia.

Temperature variations impacting leaf senescence initiation pathways alter leaf fall timing patterns in northern deciduous forests.

Simulating the timing of leaf fall in large scale is crucial for accurate estimation of ecosystem carbon sequestration. However, the limited understanding of leaf senescence mechanisms often impedes the accuracy of simulation and prediction. In this study, we employed the advanced process-based models to fit remote sensing-derived end dates of the growing season (EOS) across deciduous broadleaf forests in the Northern Hemisphere, and revealed the spatial pattern associated with two leaf senescence pathways (i.

Functional dissection of parabrachial substrates in processing nociceptive information.

Painful stimuli elicit first-line reflexive defensive reactions and, in many cases, also evoke second-line recuperative behaviors, the latter of which reflects the sensing of tissue damage and the alleviation of suffering. The lateral parabrachial nucleus (lPBN), composed of external- (elPBN), dorsal- (dlPBN), and central/superior-subnuclei (jointly referred to as slPBN), receives sensory inputs from spinal projection neurons and plays important roles in processing affective information from external threats and body integrity disruption. However, the organizational rules of lPBN neurons that provoke diverse behaviors in response to different painful stimuli from cutaneous and deep tissues remain unclear.
