The contribution of the neuroendocrine system to adaption after repeated daily ozone exposure in rats

Ozone-induced lung injury/inflammation dissipates despite continued exposure for 3 or more days; however, the mechanisms of adaptation/habituation remain unclear. Since ozone effects are mediated through adrenal-derived stress hormones, which also regulate longevity of centrally-mediated stress response, we hypothesized that ozone-adaptation is linked to diminution of neuroendocrine stress-axes activation and glucocorticoid levels. Male Wistar-Kyoto-rats (12-week-old) were injected with vehicle or a therapeutically-relevant dexamethasone dose (0.01-mg/kg/day; intraperitoneal) for 1-month to determine if suppression of glucocorticoid signaling was linked to adaptation. Vehicle- and dexamethasone-treated rats were exposed to air or 0.8-ppm ozone, 4 h/day × 2 or 4 days to assess the impacts of acute exposure and adaptation, respectively. Dexamethasone reduced thymus and spleen weights, circulating lymphocytes, corticosterone and increased insulin. Ozone increased lavage-fluid protein and neutrophils and decreased circulating lymphocytes at day-2 but not day-4. Ozone-induced hyperglycemia, glucose intolerance and inhibition of beta-cell insulin release occurred at day-1 but not day-3. Ozone depleted circulating prolactin, thyroid-stimulating hormone, and luteinizing-hormone at day-2 but not day-4, suggesting central mediation of adaptation. Adrenal epinephrine biosynthesis gene, Pnmt, was up-regulated after ozone exposure at both timepoints. However, genes involved in glucocorticoid biosynthesis were up-regulated after day-2 but not day-4, suggesting that acute 1- or 2-day ozone-mediated glucocorticoid increase elicits feedback inhibition to dampen hypothalamic stimulation of ACTH release in response to repeated subsequent ozone exposures. Although dexamethasone pretreatment affected circulating insulin, lymphocytes and adrenal genes, it had modest effect on ozone adaptation. In conclusion, ozone adaptation likely involves lack of hypothalamic response due to reduced availability of circulating glucocorticoids.

Tissue distribution and subcellular localization of the family of Kidney Ankyrin Repeat Domain (KANK) proteins

Kidney Ankyrin Repeat-containing Proteins (KANKs) comprise a family of four evolutionary conserved proteins (KANK1 to 4) that localize to the belt of mature focal adhesions (FAs) where they regulate integrin-mediated adhesion, actomyosin contractility, and link FAs to the cortical microtubule stabilization complex (CMSC). The human KANK proteins were first identified in kidney and have been associated with kidney cancer and nephrotic syndrome. Here, we report the distributions and subcellular localizations of the four Kank mRNAs and proteins in mouse tissues. We found that the KANK family members display distinct and rarely overlapping expression patterns. Whereas KANK1 is expressed at the basal side of epithelial cells of all tissues tested, KANK2 expression is mainly observed at the plasma membrane and/or cytoplasm of mesenchymal cells and KANK3 exclusively in vascular and lymphatic endothelial cells. KANK4 shows the least widespread expression pattern and when present, overlaps with KANK2 in contractile cells, such as smooth muscle cells and pericytes. Our findings show that KANKs are widely expressed in a cell type-specific manner, which suggests that they have cell- and tissue-specific functions.

Do Households Adapt? Repeated Hurricane Exposure and the Purchasing of Bottled Water

Understanding how households adapt to hurricanes is increasingly important as these events become more frequent and severe. This paper examines how past hurricane exposure influences current household preparedness, focusing specifically on the stockpiling of bottled water. Leveraging scanner data on bottled water purchases for households in the Southeastern United States, we employ a difference-in-differences event study framework to analyze how repeated hurricane experiences affect consumer behavior. Our results indicate that households exposed to hurricane warnings do not increase their preparedness in the subsequent hurricane season, and those experiencing a landfall event underprepare. These results suggest limited learning from past events.

Rare Earth Element-Induced Condensation of the Block V of the Repeats-in-Toxin Domain from CyaA from Bordetella pertussis for Separations

Rare earth elements (REEs) are critical for the development of a range of new technologies. However, the current industrial separation processes of these metals from natural sources, recycled materials, and industrial effluents involve the large consumption of organic solvents, resulting in a sizable environmental footprint. We aim to exploit the high affinity of the block V peptide of the repeats-in-toxin (RTX) domain of the adenylate cyclase protein from Bordetella pertussis for the separation of REEs. This peptide selectively binds with lanthanide (Ln) cations and can undergo Ln-induced phase separation, which can be used in bioseparation processes. Here, we evaluated the self-assembling structures of complexes of the RTX domain peptide folded in the presence of Ln 3+ cations. Size distribution and surface potential measurements of complexes were taken to understand the Ln-induced changes in the complexed peptide. Transmission electron microscopy imaging was used to explore the structures of complexes, while anomalous small-angle X-ray scattering measurements were used to determine the distribution of Ln 3+ ions within the protein-based macrostructures. In the presence of excess Ln 3+ , we observed the formation of coral-like cylindrical structures comprised of Ln 3+ -RTX complexes, with approximately eight trivalent metals per peptide within the nanosized assemblies. These findings provide new insights into the structural organization of assembled RTX domains and their ability to coordinate with REEs, forming nanosized, metal-rich structures that naturally condense, providing a proof-of-concept for protein-based separation processes of these critical materials.

Nanomolar Sensitivity Chirality Transfer from Designed Helical Repeat Proteins to Achiral CdS Nanorods

Bridging chirality across length scales with inorganic− organic hybrid materials is a rapidly expanding area of research. Here, we establish asymmetry at CdS nanorod (NR) interfaces using a designed helical repeat protein bearing four cysteine residues (DHR- 4Cys). Hydrophobic NRs are transferred into water with glycine, and then glycine is displaced by DHR-4Cys, leveraging the thiophilicity of cadmium. Circular dichroism (CD) in the visible, coincident with CdS electronic transitions, reveals a chiral DHR-4Cys:CdS interface. Here, the dissymmetry factor [g-factor = 4.5 × 10 −4 (short NRs) and 5.0 × 10 −4 (long NRs)] is weakly dependent on the NR length, and CD persists at nanomolar protein loadings. Additionally, control experiments demonstrate that DHR-4Cys:CdS NR chirality is dictated by the local coordination of Cys with no significant contribution from the chiral secondary structure of the protein (g-factors of short and long Cys:CdS NRs are 4.8 × 10 −4 and 4.0 × 10 −4 , respectively). Together with far-UV CD and transmission electron microscopy, which provide evidence of preserved protein structure, these results provide the first demonstration that a structurally defined protein can induce chirality in CdS nanocrystals while maintaining protein structure at biologically relevant concentrations.

Utilizing Machine Learning to Improve Neutralization Potency of an HIV-1 Antibody Targeting the gp41 N-Heptad Repeat

The N-heptad repeat (NHR) of the HIV-1 gp41 prehairpin intermediate (PHI) is an attractive potential vaccine target with high sequence conservation across diverse strains. However, despite the potency of NHR-targeting peptides and clinical efficacy of the NHR-targeting entry inhibitor enfuvirtide, no potently neutralizing NHR-directed monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) nor antisera have been identified or elicited to date. The lack of potent NHR-binding mAbs both dampens enthusiasm for vaccine development efforts at this target and presents a barrier to performing passive immunization experiments with NHR-targeting antibodies. To address this challenge, we previously developed an improved variant of the NHR-directed mAb D5, called D5_AR, which is capable of neutralizing diverse tier-2 viruses. Building on that work, here we present the 2.7Å-crystal structure of D5_AR bound to NHR mimetic peptide IQN17. We then utilize protein language models and supervised machine learning to generate small (n < 100) libraries of D5_AR variants that are subsequently screened for improved neutralization potency. We identify a variant with 5-fold improved neutralization potency, D5_FI, which is the most potent NHR-directed monoclonal antibody characterized to date and exhibits broad neutralization of tier-2 and −3 pseudoviruses as well as replicating R5 and X4 challenge strains. Additionally, our work highlights the ability of protein language models to efficiently identify improved mAb variants from relatively small libraries.

Single-Particle Studies Reveal a Nanoscale Mechanism for Elastic, Bright, and Repeatable ZnS:Mn Mechanoluminescence in a Low-Pressure Regime

Mechanoluminescent materials, which emit light in response to elastic deformation, are demanded for use as in situ stress sensors. ZnS doped with Mn is known to exhibit one of the lowest reported thresholds for appearance of mechanoluminescence, with repeatable light emission under contact pressure <10 MPa. Here, the physical basis for such behavior remains as yet unclear. Here, reliable microscopic detection of mechanoluminescence of single ZnS:Mn microparticles, in combination with nanoscale structural characterization, provides evidence that the mechanoluminescent properties of these particles result from interplay between a non-centrosymmetric crystal lattice and its defects, viz., dislocations and stacking faults. Statistical analysis of the distributions of mechanoluminescence energy release trajectories reveals two distinct mechanisms of excitation: one attributable to a piezo-phototronic effect and the other due to dislocation motion. At pressures below 8.1 MPa, both mechanisms contribute to mechanoluminescent output, with a dominant contribution from the piezo-phototronic mechanism. In contrast, above 8.1 MPa, dislocation motion is the primary excitation source. For the piezo-phototronic mechanism, we propose a specific model that accounts for elastic ZnS:Mn mechanoluminescence under very low pressure. The charged interfaces in stacking faults lead to the presence of filled traps, which otherwise would be empty in the absence of the built-in electric field. Upon application of external stress, local enhancement of the piezoelectric field at the stacking faults’ interfaces facilitates release of the trapped carriers and subsequent luminescence. This field enhancement explains how <10 MPa pressure produces thousands of photons.

Lithium–Sulfur Batteries: 3D Printed Tools and Assembly Techniques for Repeatable Lab-Scale Coin Cell Manufacturing

The coin cell form factor has become a standard in energy storage research owing to its relatively low cost, low quantity of requisite electroactive material, fast experimental turnover, and capability to generate publishable quality data. Coin cell assembly at the lab-scale requires precise manual alignment of the many internal components of a cell to yield a properly functioning device. Truly repeatable device assembly presents a significant challenge to the acquisition of reliable data. In this report, we present a three-dimensional (3D) printable design for a coin cell alignment device and describe techniques for a generalized workflow to achieve reproducible coin cell assembly of lithium-based batteries. Standardized assembly techniques using readily accessible, purpose-built tools were demonstrated for labscale production of lithium−sulfur (Li−S) coin cells. Li−S batteries fabricated using the alignment device as well as conductive adhesive incorporated workflows afforded coin cells with up to 35% reduction of assembly times, comparable or better functional cell yields, and improved electrochemical device performance with more consistent and up to 150 mAh/g higher average discharge capacities coupled with Coulombic efficiency increases of up to 2.0% over manually aligned cell assembly techniques.

Cell Extracts from Bacteria and Yeast Retain Metabolic Activity after Extended Storage and Repeated Thawing

Cell-free synthetic biology enables rapid prototyping of biological parts and synthesis of proteins or metabolites in the absence of cell growth constraints. Cell-free systems are frequently made from crude cell extracts, where composition and activity can vary significantly based on source strain, preparation and processing, reagents, and other considerations. This variability can cause extracts to be treated as black boxes for which empirical observations guide practical laboratory practices, including a hesitance to use dated or previously thawed extracts. To better understand the robustness of cell extracts over time, we assessed the activity of cell-free metabolism during storage. As a model, we studied conversion of glucose to 2,3-butanediol. We found that cell extracts from Escherichia coli and Saccharomyces cerevisiae subjected to an 18-month storage period and repeated freeze-thaw cycles retain consistent metabolic activity. Here this work gives users of cell-free systems a better understanding of the impacts of storage on extract behavior.

Field programmable spin arrays for scalable quantum repeaters

The large scale control over thousands of quantum emitters desired by quantum network technology is limited by the power consumption and cross-talk inherent in current microwave techniques. Here we propose a quantum repeater architecture based on densely-packed diamond color centers (CCs) in a programmable electrode array, with quantum gates driven by electric or strain fields. This ‘field programmable spin array’ (FPSA) enables high-speed spin control of individual CCs with low cross-talk and power dissipation. Integrated in a slow-light waveguide for efficient optical coupling, the FPSA serves as a quantum interface for optically-mediated entanglement. We evaluate the performance of the FPSA architecture in comparison to a routing-tree design and show an increased entanglement generation rate scaling into the thousand-qubit regime. Our results enable high fidelity control of dense quantum emitter arrays for scalable networking.

Tandem sialoglycan-binding modules in a Streptococcus sanguinis serine-rich repeat adhesin create target dependent avidity effects

Sialic acid–binding immunoglobulin-like lectins (Siglec)–like domains of streptococcal serine-rich repeat (SRR) adhesins recognize sialylated glycans on human salivary, platelet, and plasma glycoproteins via a YTRY sequence motif. The SRR adhesin from Streptococcus sanguinis strain SK1 has tandem sialoglycan-binding domains and has previously been shown to bind sialoglycans with high affinity. However, both domains contain substitutions within the canonical YTRY motif, making it unclear how they interact with host receptors. To identify how the S. sanguinis strain SK1 SRR adhesin affects interactions with sialylated glycans and glycoproteins, we determined high-resolution crystal structures of the binding domains alone and with purified trisaccharides. These structural studies determined that the ligands still bind at the noncanonical binding motif, but with fewer hydrogen-bonding interactions to the protein than is observed in structures of other Siglec-like adhesins. Complementary biochemical studies identified that each of the two binding domains has a different selectivity profile. Interestingly, the binding of SK1 to platelets and plasma glycoproteins identified that the interaction to some host targets is dominated by the contribution of one binding domain, whereas the binding to other host receptors is mediated by both binding domains. These results provide insight into outstanding questions concerning the roles of tandem domains in targeting host receptors and suggest mechanisms for how pathogens can adapt to the availability of a range of related but nonidentical host receptors. They further suggest that the definition of the YTRY motif should be changed to ΦTRX, a more rigorous description of this sialic acid–recognition motif given recent findings.

Quantum simulation of Lindbladian dynamics via repeated interactions

The Lindblad equation generalizes the Schrödinger equation to quantum systems that undergo dissipative dynamics. The quantum simulation of Lindbladian dynamics is therefore non-unitary, preventing a naive application of state-of-the-art quantum algorithms. Here, we make use of an approximate correspondence between Lindbladian dynamics and evolution based on repeated interaction (RI) CPTP maps to write down a Hamiltonian formulation of the Lindblad dynamics and derive a rigorous error bound on the master equation. Specifically, we show that the number of interactions needed to simulate the Liouvillian within error e scales in most physical scenarios as . This is significant because the error in the Lindbladian approximation to the dynamics is not explicitly bounded in existing quantum algorithms for open system simulations. We then provide quantum algorithms to simulate RI maps using an iterative qubitization approach and Trotter–Suzuki formulas, and specifically show that for iterative qubitization the number of operations needed to simulate the dynamics (for a fixed value of ?) scales as in the limit where a0 (the coefficient 1-norm for the system and bath Hamiltonians) asymptotically dominates over the corresponding factor for the interaction Hamiltonian, which is often the case in weak coupling. This scaling would appear to be optimal if the complexity of ? is not considered, which underscores the importance of considering the error in the Liouvillian that we reveal in this work.

Repeated horizontal gene transfer of GAL actose metabolism genes violates Dollo’s law of irreversible loss

Dollo’s law posits that evolutionary losses are irreversible, thereby narrowing the potential paths of evolutionary change. While phenotypic reversals to ancestral states have been observed, little is known about their underlying genetic causes. The genomes of budding yeasts have been shaped by extensive reductive evolution, such as reduced genome sizes and the losses of metabolic capabilities. However, the extent and mechanisms of trait reacquisition after gene loss in yeasts have not been thoroughly studied. Here, through phylogenomic analyses, we reconstructed the evolutionary history of the yeast galactose utilization pathway and observed widespread and repeated losses of the ability to utilize galactose, which occurred concurrently with the losses of GALactose (GAL) utilization genes. Unexpectedly, we detected multiple galactose-utilizing lineages that were deeply embedded within clades that underwent ancient losses of galactose utilization. We show that at least two, and possibly three, lineages reacquired the GAL pathway via yeast-to-yeast horizontal gene transfer. Our results show how trait reacquisition can occur tens of millions of years after an initial loss via horizontal gene transfer from distant relatives. Furthermore, these findings demonstrate that the losses of complex traits and even whole pathways are not always evolutionary dead-ends, highlighting how reversals to ancestral states can occur.

The rebrightening of a ROSAT -selected tidal disruption event: repeated weak partial disruption flares from a quiescent galaxy?

The ROSAT-selected tidal disruption event (TDE) candidate RX J133157.6-324319.7 (J1331) was detected in 1993 as a bright [0.2–2 keV flux of (1.0 ± 0.1) × 10 -12 erg s -1 cm -2 ], ultra-soft (kT = 0.11 ± 0.03 keV) X-ray flare from a quiescent galaxy (z = 0.051 89). During its fifth all-sky survey (eRASS5) in 2022, Spectrum-Roentgen-Gamma (SRG)/ eROSITA detected the repeated flaring of J1331, where it had rebrightened to an observed 0.2–2 keV flux of (6.0 ± 0.7) × 10 -13 erg s -1 cm -2 , with spectral properties (kT = 0.115 ± 0.007 keV) consistent with the ROSAT-observed flare ~30 yr earlier. In this work, we report on X-ray, ultraviolet, optical, and radio observations of this system. During a pointed XMM observation ~17 d after the eRASS5 detection, J1331 was not detected in the 0.2–2 keV band, constraining the 0.2–2 keV flux to have decayed by a factor of ≳40 over this period. Given the extremely low probability (~5 × 10 -6 ) of observing two independent full TDEs from the same galaxy over a 30 yr period, we consider the variability seen in J1331 to be likely caused by two partial TDEs involving a star on an elliptical orbit around a black hole. J1331-like flares show faster rise and decay time-scales [$\mathcal {O}(\mathrm{d})$] compared to standard TDE candidates, with negligible ongoing accretion at late times post-disruption between outbursts.

Helper-embedded satellites from an integrase clade that repeatedly targets prophage late genes

Abstract Satellites such as phage-induced chromosomal islands (PICIs) are mobile genetic elements relying on helper phages for their mobilization, through trans-regulatory interactions. We discovered a PICI with a more intimate cis-regulatory configuration, integrated within a late gene of its helper prophage. This helper-embedded PICI (HE-PICI) configuration delays expression of the interrupted helper late gene until the satellite excises and provides passive helper-driven components to both HE-PICI replication and late transcription. Upon induction of a helper-satellite composite, precise excision of the entire composite was observed, followed by composite replication, then satellite excision. We mapped 491 additional HE-PICIs to one of 14 sites in cognates of phage lambda late genes. Associated integrases form a single phylogenetic clade with subclades respecting the 14 site groups, exhibiting repeated tropism for prophage late genes as new integration sites evolve. Four ordered zones in a general gram-negative PICI genome organization are: an integration zone encoding integrase and AlpA, a dynamic zone encoding members of the Bro-N network of domain-swapping DNA-interactive proteins and immunity repressor RNAs, a replication zone, and a dynamic late zone in which clusters as large as 17 consecutive helper prophage late genes have been captured. Helper-embedded satellites present new dimensions in satellite/helper relationships.

The effect of repeated hurricanes on the age of organic carbon in humid tropical forest soil

Abstract Increasing hurricane frequency and intensity with climate change is likely to affect soil organic carbon (C) stocks in tropical forests. We examined the cycling of C between soil pools and with depth at the Luquillo Experimental Forest in Puerto Rico in soils over a 30‐year period that spanned repeated hurricanes. We used a nonlinear matrix model of soil C pools and fluxes (“soilR”) and constrained the parameters with soil and litter survey data. Soil chemistry and stable and radiocarbon isotopes were measured from three soil depths across a topographic gradient in 1988 and 2018. Our results suggest that pulses and subsequent reduction of inputs caused by severe hurricanes in 1989, 1998, and two in 2017 led to faster mean transit times of soil C in 0–10 cm and 35–60 cm depths relative to a modeled control soil with constant inputs over the 30‐year period. Between 1988 and 2018, the occluded C stock increased and δ 13 C in all pools decreased, while changes in particulate and mineral‐associated C were undetectable. The differences between 1988 and 2018 suggest that hurricane disturbance results in a dilution of the occluded light C pool with an influx of young, debris‐deposited C, and possible microbial scavenging of old and young C in the particulate and mineral‐associated pools. These effects led to a younger total soil C pool with faster mean transit times. Our results suggest that the increasing frequency of intense hurricanes will speed up rates of C cycling in tropical forests, making soil C more sensitive to future tropical forest stressors.

Dataset for Cruz-O'Byrne et al (2026): "Divergent biogeochemical responses in upland coastal forest soils to repeated flooding and shifts in water chemistry"

Hydrologic disturbances from accelerated sea-level rise and the increasing frequency and intensity of storms and tidal flooding are altering biogeochemical processes in upland coastal forests, transforming these ecosystems into wetlands. However, the initial effects of flooding on belowground biogeochemistry and the mechanisms driving greenhouse gas dynamics and soil organic matter stability during the early stages of this transition remain poorly understood. This dataset presents the results of a mesocosm experiment conducted in a controlled, highly instrumented laboratory environment, in which freshwater and brackish water pulses were applied to intact soil monoliths from a temperate upland coastal forest to examine how floodwater chemistry influences soil biogeochemistry and organo-mineral interactions. All data files are plain-text CSV (comma-separated value), and no special software is required to read them. Details about the content of each file are available in the document “Dataset_readme”. The dataset consists of the following data: • rcruzobyrne_moisture: Soil volumetric water content (VWC) • rcruzobyrne_GHG: Headspace greenhouse gas (GHG) concentration and fluxes • rcruzobyrne_methane_isotopes: Headspace methane isotope signature • rcruzobyrne_porewater: Porewater chemistry • rcruzobyrne_CDOM: Porewater colored dissolved organic matter (CDOM) • rcruzobyrne_FTIR: Soil Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy Details of the experimental setup, data collection, and data analysis are provided in the manuscript by Cruz-O’Byrne et al (2026) Divergent biogeochemical responses in upland coastal forest soils to repeated flooding and shifts in water chemistry.

Applying Waveform Correlation to Reduce Seismic Analyst Workload Due to Repeating Mining Blasts

Agencies that monitor for underground nuclear tests are interested in techniques that automatically characterize mining blasts to reduce the human analyst effort required to produce high–quality event bulletins. Waveform correlation is effective in finding similar waveforms from repeating seismic events, including mining blasts. We report the results of an experiment to detect and identify mining blasts for two regions, Wyoming (U.S.A.) and Scandinavia, using waveform templates recorded by multiple International Monitoring System stations of the Preparatory Commission for the Comprehensive Nuclear–Test–Ban Treaty Organization (CTBTO PrepCom) for up to 10 yr prior to the time of interest. We discuss approaches for template selection, threshold setting, and event detection that are specialized for characterizing mining blasts using a sparse, global network. We apply the approaches to one week of data for each of the two regions to evaluate the potential for establishing a set of standards for waveform correlation processing of mining blasts that can be generally applied to operational monitoring systems with a sparse network. Here, we compare candidate events detected with our processing methods to the Reviewed Event Bulletin of the International Data Centre to assess potential reduction in analyst workload.
