Eviction of histones from nucleosomes and their exchange with newly synthesized or alternative variants is a central epigenetic determinant. Here, we define the genome-wide occupancy and exchange pattern of canonical and non-canonical histone variants in mouse embryonic stem cells by genetically encoded exchange sensors. While exchange of all measured variants scales with transcription, we describe variant-specific associations with transcription elongation and Polycomb binding. We found considerable exchange of H3.1 and H2B variants in heterochromatin and repeat elements, contrasting the occupancy and little exchange of H3.3 in these regions. This unexpected association between H3.3 occupancy and exchange of canonical variants is also evident in active promoters and enhancers, and further validated by reduced H3.1 dynamics following depletion of H3.3-specific chaperone, HIRA. Finally, analyzing transgenic mice harboring H3.1 or H3.3 sensors demonstrates the vast potential of this system for studying histone exchange and its impact on gene expression regulation in vivo.

The super-relaxed (SRX) state of myosin ATPase activity is critical for striated muscle function, and its dysregulation is linked to cardiomyopathies. It is unclear whether the SRX state exchanges readily with the disordered-relaxed (DRX) state, and whether the SRX state directly corresponds to the folded back interacting-head motif (IHM). Using recombinant β-cardiac heavy meromyosin (HMM) and subfragment 1 (S1), which cannot form the IHM, we show that the SRX and DRX populations are in rapid equilibrium, dependent on myosin head-tail interactions.

Intelligent transportation systems (ITSs) present new opportunities for enhanced traffic management by leveraging advanced driving behavior sensors and real-time information exchange via vehicle-based and cloud-vehicle communication technologies. Specifically, onboard sensors can effectively detect whether human-driven vehicles are adhering to traffic management directives. However, the formulation and validation of effective strategies for vehicle implementation rely on accurate driving behavior models and reliable model-based testing; in this paper, we focus on large roundabouts as the research scenario.

We show that the exact universal density functional of integer electronic charge leads to an extension to fractional charge in an asymptotic sense when it is applied to a system made of asymptotically separated densities. The extended functional is asymptotically local and is said to be i-local. The concept of i-locality is also applicable to nuclear external potentials, and a natural association exists between the localities of a density and a set of nuclei.

Article Synopsis
- - Nickel-rich layered oxides are a promising material for high-energy Li-ion batteries, but their performance suffers from structural issues caused by Ni/Li antisite disorder, leading to capacity loss and shorter lifespan.
- - The proposed rejuvenation strategy uses magneto-electrochemical activation to stabilize the positive electrode, transitioning Ni to a lower spin state and encouraging Li mobility, which helps recover the material's lithium sites and extend battery life.
- - This method successfully revitalizes an aged Li-ion pouch cell, increasing its capacity by 10% (from 6.49 to 7.14 Ah) and demonstrating the potential to convert low-quality electrodes into high-quality ones through this upcycling process.
Acute oral digoxin in healthy adults hastens fatigue and increases plasma K during intense exercise, despite preserved skeletal muscle Na,K-ATPase.

Article Synopsis
- - The study examined how the Na,K-ATPase inhibitor digoxin affects muscle content, potassium levels, and fatigue during intense exercise in healthy adults, using a double-blind crossover design with a placebo.
- - Results showed that while muscle Na,K-ATPase binding increased with digoxin treatment, muscle isoform levels did not change, suggesting a potential adaptation mechanism to maintain Na,K-ATPase function despite the drug's effects.
- - Exercise produced significant shifts in potassium levels, with digoxin leading to earlier fatigue and altered potassium responses compared to the placebo, highlighting digoxin's impact on muscle performance during high-intensity activities.
