Rap1-guanosine triphosphate (GTP)-interacting adaptor molecule (RIAM) plays a critical role in actin reorganization and inside-out activation of integrins in lymphocytes and platelets. We investigated the role of RIAM in T cell receptor (TCR)-mediated signaling. Although phosphorylation of the kinase ZAP-70 and formation of a signalosome recruited to the adaptor protein LAT were unaffected, elimination of endogenous RIAM by short hairpin RNA impaired generation of inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate, mobilization of intracellular calcium ions (Ca(2+)), and translocation of the transcription factor NFAT to the nucleus. The activation of Ras guanine nucleotide-releasing protein 1 was also impaired, which led to the diminished expression of the gene encoding interleukin-2. These events were associated with the impaired translocation of phosphorylated phospholipase C-gamma1 (PLC-gamma1) to the actin cytoskeleton, which was required to bring PLC-gamma1 close to its substrate phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate, and were reversed by reconstitution of cells with RIAM. Thus, by regulating the localization of PLC-gamma1, RIAM plays a central role in TCR signaling and the transcription of target genes.

Achieving precise and cost-effective etching in the field of silicon three-dimensional (3D) structure fabrication remains a significant challenge. Here, we present the successful fabrication of microscale anisotropic Si structures with an etching anisotropy of 0.73 using Cu-metal-assisted chemical etching (Cu-MACE) and propose a mechanism to elucidate the chemical behavior of Cu within the MACE solution.

Article Synopsis
- Nitric oxide (NO) is essential for activating immune responses, particularly by promoting proinflammatory M1 macrophages, which can aid in cancer treatment.
- Researchers created a durable Cu-organic coordination polymer that continuously releases NO from natural sources, using a network built through complexation and cross-linking processes.
- The developed polymer effectively converts resting and tumor-supporting macrophages to the beneficial M1 type, suggesting that these BA-Cu films could serve as innovative cancer treatment patches.

Lithium-rich layered oxides, despite their potential as high-energy-density cathode materials, are impeded by electrochemical performance deterioration upon anionic redox. Although this deterioration is believed to primarily result from structural disordering, our understanding of how it is triggered and/or occurs remains incomplete. Herein, we propose a theoretical picture that clarifies the irreversible transformation and redox asymmetry of lithium-rich layered oxides by introducing a series of global and local dynamic structural evolution processes involving slab gliding and transition-metal migration.

Natural killer (NK) cells are a subset of innate lymphoid cells playing an important role in immune surveillance and early defense against infection and cancer. They recognize and directly kill infected or transformed cells. At the same time, they produce various cytokines and chemokines to regulate other immune cells.
