These capabilities arise from the integrated knot geometry, which ensures a stable micro-liquid junction for localized extraction with a minimized sampling footprint and efficient mass transfer, while eliminating intricate probe alignment for robust operation.

The incorporation of Gd into Co sites is realized by zeolitic imidazolate framework-8, forming a Gd-modified Co─N─C catalyst (GdCo/NC).

Bioinformatic analysis of bacterial geosmin synthase (GeoA)-encoding gene clusters reveals that many are colocalized with genes encoding Family 2B encapsulin shell proteins. Here, we focus on the encapsulin-encoding geosmin gene cluster of the model myxobacterium Myxococcus xanthus and show that the two shell proteins form a two-component Family 2B encapsulin with GeoA as the internalized cargo. Structural analysis highlights that the shell contains characteristic, external cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) binding-fold domains (CBDs), and that mixed shells can adopt a previously unobserved closed two-fold pore conformation. We show that GeoA cargo loading is mediated by repeating, short cargo loading peptides (CLPs), and that GeoA encapsulation provides benefits for enzyme activity and stability.

Here, through integrated analysis of multi-omics data, we discovered that EBV infection induces marked hypermethylation at the ANGPTL4 promoter, leading to transcriptional silencing of ANGPTL4 in EBVaGC. Conversely, hypomethylation-mediated ANGPTL4 overexpression is clinically associated with poor prognosis and distant metastasis in EBVnGC. Mechanistically, the C-terminal secreted form (cANGPTL4) promotes GC progression by enhancing proliferation, epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT), and neutrophil recruitment. Clinically, ANGPTL4 expression is positively correlated with neutrophil infiltration and neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) levels in GC. Spatial transcriptomics and immunohistochemistry (IHC) analyses confirmed the spatial colocalization of ANGPTL4 with tumor-infiltrating neutrophils. cANGPTL4 mediates tumor-associated neutrophil (TAN) recruitment via the NF-κB/CXCL8 axis and directly binds and stabilizes neutrophil-derived ANXA5 to facilitate NET release, thereby driving GC progression. In conclusion, ANGPTL4 represents a potential intervention target for EBVnGC.
