Here, we present a wearable triboelectric impedance tomography (TIT) system for noninvasive imaging of various biological tissues. The imaging mechanism relies on the obtained impedance information from the different soft human tissues. A high-precision signal source is designed on the basis of a composite triboelectric nanogenerator, which exhibits a minimal total harmonic distortion of 0.03% and a peak output signal-to-noise ratio up to 120 decibels. The current density injected into human skin is around 79.58 milliamperes per square meter, far below the safety threshold for medical devices. The TIT system achieves time-resolved tomography of human limbs’ soft tissues, and many appealing functions can be realized by using this wearable system, including the observation of muscle movement, the motion intention recognition, and the identification of pathological changes of soft tissue. Hence, this TIT system with excellent biocompatibility can be integrated with various devices, such as medical-assistive exoskeletons and smart protective suit.","PeriodicalId":21609,"journal":{"name":"Science Advances","volume":"56 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":13.6,"publicationDate":"2024-12-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142867200","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"综合性期刊","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We present a global compilation of fluvial and glacial erosion rates alongside simple numerical experiments, which show that the “Sadler effect,” wherein geological rates show an inverse relationship with measurement timescale, comprises three distinct effects: a measurement thickness bias, a bias of erosion and redeposition, and a bias introduced by not observing quiescent intervals. Furthermore, we find that, globally, average glacial erosion rates exceed fluvial erosion rates through time by an order of magnitude, and that this difference cannot be explained by Sadlerian biases or by variations in hillslope, precipitation, or latitude. These findings support observations of increased erosion rates following Cenozoic cooling and glaciation, and reveal the importance of glacial erosion over millennial to orogenic timescales.","PeriodicalId":21609,"journal":{"name":"Science Advances","volume":"4 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":13.6,"publicationDate":"2024-12-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142867262","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"综合性期刊","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

For carbon monoxide oxidation on gold nanoparticles (NPs) supported on ceria surfaces, it is widely believed that carbon monoxide adsorbs on the gold particles, while the reaction occurs at the gold/ceria interface. Here, we have investigated the dynamic changes of supported gold NPs with various sizes in a carbon monoxide oxidation atmosphere using deep potential molecular dynamics simulations. Our results reveal that the structure of tiny gold particles in carbon monoxide atmospheres becomes highly disordered and undergoes phase transition. Such a liquid-like structure provides massive reactive sites, enabling facile carbon monoxide oxidation on the solid-state gold NP rather than just at the gold/ceria interface. This result is further corroborated by catalytic experiments. This work sheds light on both the size effects and activity in noble metal catalysis and provides insights for the design of more effective nanocatalysts.","PeriodicalId":21609,"journal":{"name":"Science Advances","volume":"79 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":13.6,"publicationDate":"2024-12-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142867298","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"综合性期刊","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A defining feature of specific cancers, notably triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) and particularly those deficient in BRCA1, is chromosomal instability (CIN). Here, we focused on understanding the mechanisms of docetaxel-induced cytotoxicity, especially in the context of BRCA1-deficient TNBC. Using functional genetic screens in CIN+ cells, we identified genes that mediate docetaxel response and found an interaction between Huntingtin (HTT) and BRCA1-associated protein-1 (BAP1). We employed <jats:italic>Brca1</jats:italic> <jats:sup>−/−</jats:sup> ; <jats:italic> p53 <jats:sup>−</jats:sup> </jats:italic> <jats:sup>/−</jats:sup> mammary tumor cells, derived from genetically engineered mouse tumors that closely mimic the human disease, to investigate the role of these genes in CIN+ BRCA1-deficient cells. Specifically, we observed that loss of HTT sensitizes CIN+ BRCA1-deficient mammary tumor cells to docetaxel by shortening mitotic spindle poles and increasing spindle multipolarity. In contrast, BAP1 depletion protected cells against these spindle aberrations by restoring spindle length and enhancing mitotic clustering of the extra centrosomes. In conclusion, our findings shed light on the roles of HTT and BAP1 in controlling mitotic spindle multipolarity and centrosome clustering, specifically in the absence of BRCA1. This affects the response to microtubule-targeting agents and suggests that further studies of the interaction of these genes with the mitotic spindle may provide useful insights into how to target CIN+ cells, particularly in the challenging therapeutic landscape of BRCA1-deficient TNBC.","PeriodicalId":20548,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America","volume":"11 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":11.1,"publicationDate":"2024-12-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142867590","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"综合性期刊","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
