    TRIM21-mediated METTL3 degradation promotes PDAC ferroptosis and enhances the efficacy of Anti-PD-1 immunotherapy

    Cell culture and reagents

    The cells utilized in this study were obtained from the American Type Culture Collection (ATCC, Manassas, VA), unless otherwise indicated. HPDE6C7 and AsPC-1 cells were cultured in RPMI-1640 medium (Gibco, NY, USA), while…

  • Impact of a Terahertz electromagnetic field on the ion permeation of potassium and sodium channels

    Impact of a Terahertz electromagnetic field on the ion permeation of potassium and sodium channels

    Structural analysis

    We first computed the pore radius of each ion channel using HOLE46 after equilibration to confirm that they adopt a stably open state (Fig. 1 right panels). The pore radius of Kv1.2 was 0.60 Å at SF and 2.90 Å at the…

    Comparative single-nucleus RNA-seq analysis revealed localized and cell type-specific pathways governing root-microbiome interactions

    Establishing a single-cell atlas of root responses to rhizosphere microbes with different lifestyles

    Here, we employed a 48-well plate-based hydroponic root-microbe interaction system4,21 to segregate roots and leaves using a mesh and maintain…
