IDR-driven TOLLIP condensates antagonize the innate antiviral immunity by promoting the deSUMOylation of MAVS.

Mitochondrial antiviral signaling protein (MAVS) is a central adaptor protein in retinoic acid-inducible gene I (RIG-I)-like receptor (RLR) signaling against RNA viral infection. Posttranslational modifications (PTMs) play a critical role in modulating the activity of MAVS. However, how phase separation regulates the PTMs to fine-tune MAVS activation remains to be elucidated.

Study of sewage oxygenation treatment based on gas magnetization mechanism.

In the process of sewage treatment, the sewage usually needs to be aerated, so the oxygenation efficiency is an important indicator for the aerator. The general oxygenation technique is to inject large amount of natural air into the aeration tank over long time, which has lower efficiency and leads to dramatic waste of energy. Based on the gas-liquid fusion mass transfer model and combined the oxygen enrichment mechanism by magnetization of the gas into the aerator, a novel method to improve the efficiency of wastewater oxygenation is proposed.
