The flagellum is a complex molecular nanomachine crucial for cell motility. Its assembly requires coordinated expression of over 50 flagellar genes, regulated by the transcription activator FleQ. Phylogenomic analyses suggest that many non-flagellated bacterial species have evolved from flagellated ancestors by losing specific flagellar components, though the evolutionary mechanisms driving this process remain unclear.

Biopsy is the clinical standard for diagnosing lymph node (LN) metastasis, but it is invasive and poses significant risk to patient health. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has been utilized as a noninvasive alternative but is limited by low sensitivity, with only ∼35% of LN metastases detected, as clinical contrast agents cannot discriminate between healthy and metastatic LNs due to nonspecific accumulation. Nanoparticles targeted to the C-C chemokine receptor 2 (CCR2), a biomarker highly expressed in metastatic LNs, have the potential to guide the delivery of contrast agents, improving the sensitivity of MRI.

Film functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) has gained tremendous popularity in many areas of neuroscience. However, affective neuroscience remains somewhat behind in embracing this approach, even though films lend themselves to study how brain function gives rise to complex, dynamic and multivariate emotions. Here, we discuss the unique capabilities of film fMRI for emotion research, while providing a general guide of conducting such research.

Programmed antigen capture-harnessed dendritic cells by margination-hitchhiking lung delivery.

Adoptive T cells and immunotherapy suppress the most destructive metastatic tumors and prevent tumor recurrence by inducing T lymphocytes. However, the heterogeneity and immune privilege of invasive metastatic clusters often reduce immune cell infiltration and therapeutic efficacy. Here, the red blood cells (RBC)-hitchhiking mediated lung metastasis delivery of multi-grained iron oxide nanostructures (MIO) programming the antigen capture, dendritic cell harnessing, and T cell recruitment is developed.
