HERD-1 mediates multiphase condensate immiscibility to regulate small RNA-driven transgenerational epigenetic inheritance.

Biomolecular condensates, such as the nucleolus, stress granules/processing bodies and germ granules, are multiphase assemblages whose formation mechanisms and significance remain poorly understood. Here we identify protein constituents of the spatiotemporally ordered P, Z and M multiphase condensates in Caenorhabditis elegans germ granules using optimized TurboID-mediated proximity biotin labelling. These include 462, 41 and 86 proteins localizing to P, Z and M condensates, respectively, of which 522 were previously unknown protein constituents.

Unravelling chilling-stress resistance mechanisms in endangered Mangrove plant Lumnitzera littorea (Jack) Voigt.

Lumnitzera littorea (Jack) Voigt is one of the most endangered mangrove species in China. Previous studies have showed the impact of chilling stress on L. littorea and the repsonses at physiological and biochemical levels, but few attentions have been paid at molecular level.

High-Performance Thin-Film Transistors with ZnO:H/ZnO Double Active Layers Fabricated at Room Temperature.

H doping can enhance the performance of ZnO thin-film transistors (TFTs) to a certain extent, and the design of double active layers is an effective way to further improve a device's performance. However, there are few studies on the combination of these two strategies. We fabricated TFTs with ZnO:H (4 nm)/ZnO (20 nm) double active layers by magnetron sputtering at room temperature, and studied the effect of the hydrogen flow ratio on the devices' performance.
