Enforced activation of the CREB/KDM2B axis prevents alcohol-induced embryonic developmental delay.

Unintentional, early pregnancy alcohol consumption affects embryonic development. During the peri-implantation stage, coinciding with the transition from naive to primed pluripotency, the long isoform of KDM2B (KDM2BLF) underlies the de novo establishment of polycomb repressive complex (PRC) functions at promoters after fertilization. However, it remains unclear whether and how ethanol exposure affects this spatiotemporal chromatin setting.

Insight into nitrogen removal through sulfate reducing anaerobic ammonia oxidation coupled with sulfur cycle: A comparative study on inorganic and organic conditions.

Sulfate reducing anaerobic ammonium oxidation (S-Anammox) is a novel biological process that involves the oxidation of NH coupled with the reduction of SO. This process has been observed under both inorganic and organic conditions; however, the nitrogen removal performance and the specific functional species in these two contexts remain poorly understood. Furthermore, the simultaneous occurrence of coupled sulfate reduction and sulfide oxidation adds complexity to the understanding of nitrogen and sulfur conversions.

Drivers' reactions to real-world forward collision warnings at both macroscopic and microscopic longitudinal levels: A functional approach.

Understanding drivers' reactions to in-vehicle forward collision warnings (FCWs) is vital for advancing FCW design and improving road safety. However, past studies often used aggregated safety measures to analyze the drivers' reactions to FCWs, thereby at the microscopic level, limiting our ability to understand drivers' reactions to FCWs at particular timestamps immediately after FCWs are issued. Additionally, there has been a notable absence of studies at the macroscopic perspective focusing on analyzing how drivers' reactions to FCWs evolve over an extended period of time.

Bright and Stable Cyan Fluorescent RNA Enables Multicolor RNA Imaging in Live Escherichia coli.

Fluorescent RNAs (FRs), which are RNA aptamers that bind and activate their cognate small fluorogenic dyes, have provided a particularly useful approach for imaging RNAs in live cells. Although the color palette of FRs is greatly expanded, a bright and stable cyan FR with good biocompatibility and biorthogonality with currently available FRs remains desirable but is not yet developed. Herein, the development of Myosotis is described, an RNA aptamer that emits bright cyan fluorescence upon binding a novel GFP chromophore-like fluorophore called DBT.
