Organisms utilize gene regulatory networks (GRN) to make fate decisions, but the regulatory mechanisms of transcription factors (TF) in GRNs are exceedingly intricate. A longstanding question in this field is how these tangled interactions synergistically contribute to decision-making procedures. To comprehensively understand the role of regulatory logic in cell fate decisions, we constructed a logic-incorporated GRN model and examined its behavior under two distinct driving forces (noise-driven and signal-driven).

Despite the promising commercial prospects of perovskite solar cells, the issue of lead toxicity continues to hinder their future industrial applications. Here, we report a low-cost and rapidly degraded sulfosuccinic acid-modified polyvinyl alcohol (SMP) coating that prevents lead leakage and enhances device stability without compromising device performance. Even under different strict conditions (simulated heavy rain, acid rain, high temperatures, and competing ions), the coatings effectively prevent lead leakage by over 99%.

Infectious disease pandemics, including the coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic, have heightened the demand for vaccines. Although parenteral vaccines induce robust systemic immunity, their effectiveness in respiratory mucosae is limited. Considering the crucial role of nasal-associated lymphoid tissue (NALT) in mucosal immune responses, in this study, the intranasal complex composed of G5-BGG and antigen-expressing plasmid DNA (pSP), named G5-BGG/pSP complex, is developed to activate NALT and to promote both systemic and mucosal immune defense.

An expeditious and novel nickel-catalyzed selective arylhydroxylation of unactivated alkenes with arylboronic acids was developed. This protocol is compatible with β,γ- and γ,δ-alkene amides, including traditionally challenging internal alkenes, to provide important β-arylethylalcohol scaffolds. The free hydroxyl group in the final product could be smoothly further transformed into other functional groups.
