Five-month-old lambs were simultaneously infected with different doses of two 16S rRNA genetic variants of Anaplasma phagocytophilum and thereafter followed for clinical observation and blood sampling. The result of the study indicates a unidirectional suppression of genotypes in infected lambs, at least during a certain period of an A. phagocytophilum infection.

The output of the basal ganglia to the corticothalamic system plays an important role in regulating absence seizures. Inspired by experiments, we systematically study the crucial roles of two newly identified direct inhibitory striatal-cortical projections that project from the striatal D1 nucleus (SD1) and striatal D2 nucleus (SD2) to the cerebral cortex, in controlling absence seizures. Through computational simulation, we observe that typical 2-4 Hz spike and wave discharges (SWDs) can be induced through the pathological mechanism of cortical circuits, and both enhancing the inhibitory coupling weight on the striatal-cortical projections and improving the discharge activation level of striatal populations can effectively control typical SWDs.

Article Synopsis
- Square-root topology is a new area in topological insulators that connects systems through squaring Hamiltonians, with extensions leading to higher-root versions that involve multiple squaring operations.* -
- This research develops a framework for general n-root topological insulators using the Su-Schrieffer-Heeger model, employing non-Hermitian models with generalized chiral symmetry and unique edge states in a complex energy spectrum.* -
- The study explores practical applications in photonic ring systems, where manipulated couplings can create high imaginary gauge fields, allowing for experimental validation of these new high-root topological models.*
Tunable Mirror-Symmetric Type-III Ising Superconductivity in Atomically-Thin Natural Van der Waals Heterostructures.

Article Synopsis
- Van der Waals (vdW) crystals with strong spin-orbit coupling are key for discovering unique 2D superconductors, where new pairing states arise from the combination of various factors like SOC and crystal structure.
- The study highlights a mirror-symmetry protected Ising pairing state in a heterostructure of SnSe and TaSe, where the arrangement of the lattice helps minimize interference from certain pairing mechanisms.
- The findings indicate that these vdW heterostructures can enhance the critical temperature under specific magnetic fields, which does not occur in other multilayer configurations due to a loss of mirror symmetry.
Disruptions of Genes Encoding Ribose-5-Phosphate Isomerases in Increases Sensitivity of Bacteria to Antibiotics.

In cells, the main enzymes involved in pentose interconversion are ribose-5-phosphate isomerases RpiA and RpiB and ribulose-5-phosphate epimerase Rpe. The inactivation of limits ribose-5-phosphate (R5P) synthesis via the oxidative branch of the pentose phosphate pathway (PPP) and unexpectedly results in antibiotic supersensitivity. This type of metabolism is accompanied by significant changes in the level of reducing equivalents of NADPH and glutathione, as well as a sharp drop in the ATP pool.

As a result, the Q value of the Brillouin random fiber laser (BRFL) increased significantly, which leads to narrow linewidth. This is different from the ring configuration with unidirectional SBS gain versus dual SBS gain of the same fiber length.
