Transformation of mouse C3H 10T1/2 cells by X-irradiation in vitro was blocked by the addition of 1 mM 3-aminobenzamide, an inhibitor of polyadenosine diphosphoribose (poly[ADP-ribose]) synthesis immediately after irradiation. 3-Aminobenzamide also inhibited an increase in the frequency of transformants caused by the addition of the tumor promoter, 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate, 7 days after irradiation. These results demonstrate a role for poly(ADP-ribose) synthesis during the initiation and promotion stages of transformation. From previous studies it is known that poly(ADP-ribose) synthesis is stimulated by the DNA damage caused by X rays during initiation. During promotion, however, 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate acted as a mitogen but did not induce detectable DNA damage, and we could detect no stimulation of poly(ADP-ribose) synthetase. The roles of poly(ADP-ribose) during initiation and during promotion must, therefore, be significantly different.

Atomic-Level Tin Regulation for High-Performance Zinc-Air Batteries.

Beijing Key Laboratory of Green Chemical Reaction Engineering and Technology, Department of Chemical Engineering, Tsinghua University, Beijing 100084, China.

The trade-off between the performances of the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) and oxygen evolution reaction (OER) presents a challenge in designing high-performance aqueous rechargeable zinc-air batteries (a-r-ZABs) due to sluggish kinetics and differing reaction requirements. Accurate control of the atomic and electronic structures is crucial for the rational design of efficient bifunctional oxygen electrocatalysts. Herein, we designed a Sn-Co/RuO trimetallic oxide utilizing dual-active sites and tin (Sn) regulation strategy by dispersing Co (for ORR) and auxiliary Sn into the near-surface and surface of RuO (for OER) to enhance both ORR and OER performances.

Plastic responses to past environments shape adaptation to novel selection pressures.

Phenotypic plasticity may pave the way for rapid adaptation to newly encountered environments. Although it is often contested, there is growing evidence that initial plastic responses of ancestral populations to new environmental cues may promote subsequent adaptation. However, we do not know whether plasticity to cues present in the ancestral habitat (past-cue plasticity) can facilitate adaptation to novel cues.

Developing and validating a HEalthCare NAvigation Competency (HECNAC) Scale for refugees in the United States.

The complex healthcare system in the United States (US) poses significant challenges for people, particularly minorities such as refugees. Refugees often encounter additional layers of challenges to healthcare navigation due to unfamiliarity with the system, limited health literacy, and language barriers. Despite their challenges, it is difficult to identify the gaps as few tools exist to measure navigation competency among this population and many conventional tools assume English proficiency, making them inadequate for refugees and other immigrants.

Guards and decoys: RIPoptosome and inflammasome pathway regulators of bacterial effector-triggered immunity.

Virulent microbes produce proteins that interact with host cell targets to promote pathogenesis. For example, virulent bacterial pathogens have proteins called effectors that are typically enzymes and are secreted into host cells. To detect and respond to the activities of effectors, diverse phyla of host organisms evolved effector-triggered immunity (ETI).
