Helicase is a nucleic acid motor that catalyses the unwinding of double-stranded (ds) RNA and DNA via ATP hydrolysis. Helicases can act either as a nucleic acid motor that unwinds its ds substrates or as a chaperone that alters the stability of its substrates, but the two activities have not yet been reported to act simultaneously. Here, we used single-molecule techniques to unravel the synergistic coordination of helicase and chaperone activities, and found that the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus helicase (nsp13) is capable of two modes of action: (i) binding of nsp13 in tandem with the fork junction of the substrate mechanically unwinds the substrate by an ATP-driven synchronous power stroke; and (ii) free nsp13, which is not bound to the substrate but complexed with ADP in solution, destabilizes the substrate through collisions between transient binding and unbinding events with unprecedented melting capability.

Background: Continuous electroacupuncture pre-conditioning (EPRC) and post-conditioning (EPOC) effectively improve motor dysfunction after acute cerebral ischemia, but they require multiple treatments. Recently, electroacupuncture per-conditioning (EPEC) has demonstrated neuroprotective effects, indicating that this single-session intervention has short-term efficacy.
Objective: To evaluate the effect of EPEC at Huantiao (GB30) on motor recovery in acute cerebral ischemia mice.
Altered amplitude of low-frequency fluctuation and functional connectivity in patients with acute unilateral vestibulopathy: a resting-state fMRI study.

Department of Neurology, Second Affiliated Hospital of Xuzhou Medical University, Xuzhou, Jiangsu, China.
Objective: To investigate changes of brain functional activity in patients with acute unilateral vestibulopathy (AUVP) using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI).
Methods: We studied 32 AUVP patients and 30 healthy controls (HC) who received resting-state fMRI scanning. Methods of voxel-based amplitude of low-frequency fluctuation (ALFF) and seed-based functional connectivity (FC) were adopted to compare the difference in brain function between the two groups.

The idea of self-organized signal processing in the cerebral cortex has become a focus of research since Beggs and Plentz reported avalanches in local field potential recordings from organotypic cultures and acute slices of rat somatosensory cortex. How the cortex intrinsically organizes signals remains unknown. A current hypothesis was proposed by the condensed matter physicists Bak, Tang, and Wiesenfeld when they conjectured that if neuronal avalanche activity followed inverse power law distributions, then brain activity may be set around phase transitions within self-organized signals.
