We report the use of a protein ligase to covalently ligate a protein to a peptide nucleic acid (PNA). The rapid ligation demands only an N-terminal GL dipeptide in the target protein and a C-terminal NGL tripeptide in the PNA. We demonstrate the versatility of this approach by attaching a PNA strand to three different proteins. Lastly, we show that erasable imaging of EGFR on HEK293 cell membranes is achieved with DNA origami nanostructures and toehold-mediated strand displacement.

Memories involving the hippocampus can take several days to consolidate, challenging efforts to uncover the neuronal signatures underlying this process. Here, we use calcium imaging in freely moving mice to track the hippocampal dynamics underlying memory consolidation across a 10-day contextual fear conditioning task. We find two neural signatures that emerge following learning and predict memory performance: context-specific place field remapping and coordinated neural activity prior to memory recall (freezing).

Embedding metasurfaces in liquid crystal (LC) cells is a promising technique for realizing tunable optical functionalities. Here, we demonstrate spatially controlled all-optical switching of the optical response of a homogeneous silicon nanocylinder metasurface featuring various Mie-type resonances in the spectral range between 670 and 720 nm integrated in a nematic LC cell. The initial alignment of the LC molecules is controlled by photoalignment layers, where the alignment direction is defined by homogeneous exposure with linearly polarized light at a 450 nm wavelength.

Background And Purpose: Accurate and consistent lesion segmentation from magnetic resonance imaging is required for longitudinal multiple sclerosis (MS) data analysis. In this work, we propose two new transfer learning-based pipelines to improve segmentation performance for subjects in longitudinal MS datasets.
Method: In general, transfer learning is used to improve deep learning model performance for the unseen dataset by fine-tuning a pretrained model with a limited number of labeled scans from the unseen dataset.

Histone lactylation plays a crucial role in cancer progression, but its impact on breast cancer (BC) tumorigenesis is still unclear. We utilized chromatin immunoprecipitation sequencing with H3K18la antibodies, transcriptomics of clinical BC samples, and proteomics and ATAC-seq analyses of in vivo tumors to identify the genes regulated by H3K18la and the transcription factor PPARD. qPCR and Western blot assays were used to detect expressions of molecules.
