Sodium-ion batteries are emerging as a highly promising technology for large-scale energy
storage applications. However, it remains a significant challenge to develop an anode with
superior long-term cycling stability and high-rate capability. Here we demonstrate that the
Na⁺ intercalation pseudocapacitance in TiO₂/graphene nanocomposites enables high-rate
capability and long cycle life...

Dysregulation of Sonic hedgehog (Shh) signaling has been implicated in glioma pathogenesis. Yet, the role of this pathway
in gliomagenesis remains controversial because of the lack of relevant animal models. Using the cytokeratin 5 promoter, we
ectopically expressed a constitutively active zebrafish Smoothened (Smoa1) in neural progenitor cells and analyzed...

A feedback between decomposition and litter chemical composition occurs with decomposition altering composition that in turn influences the decomposition rate. Elucidating the temporal pattern of chemical composition is vital to understand this feedback, but the effects of plant species and climate on chemical changes remain poorly understood, especially over multiple...

To determine how well DNA barcodes from the chloroplast region perform in forest dynamics plots
(FDPs) from global CTFS-ForestGEO network, we analyzed DNA barcoding sequences of 1277 plant
species from a wide phylogenetic range (3 FDPs in tropics, 5 in subtropics and 5 in temperate zone)
and compared the rates...

The exchange of carbon dioxide is a key measure of ecosystem metabolism and a critical intersection
between the terrestrial biosphere and the Earth’s climate. Despite the general agreement that
the terrestrial ecosystems in North America provide a sizeable carbon sink, the size and distribution
of the sink remain uncertain. We...

Environmental contributions to cancer development are widely accepted, but only a fraction of all pertinent exposures
have probably been identified. Traditional toxicological approaches to the problem have largely focused on the effects of
individual agents at singular endpoints. As such, they have incompletely addressed both the pro-carcinogenic contributions
of environmentally...

Background: Prenatal mercury (Hg) exposure is associated with adverse child neurobehavioral
outcomes. Because Hg can interfere with placental functioning and cross the placenta to target the
fetal brain, prenatal Hg exposure can inhibit fetal growth and development directly and indirectly.
Objectives: We examined potential associations between prenatal Hg exposure assessed...

Embryonic diapause is a reproductive strategy widespread in the animal kingdom. This phenomenon is defined by a temporary arrest in blastocyst growth and metabolic activity within a quiescent uterus without implantation until the environmental and maternal milieu become favorable for pregnancy to progress. We found that uterine Msx expression persists...
