Tumor is one of the major hazards for human health and life. With the cross-disciplinary fusion of immunology and cell biology, tumor immunotherapy technology has become an important means of anti-tumor treatment.Programmed death ligand-1 (PD-L1) is constitutively expressed on the surface of cancer cells. The interaction between PD-L1 and its receptor, programmed death protein-1 (PD-1), which is mainly expressed on the surface of T cells, results in cancer cell evasion from immune surveillance. ...

[Message from the editor: Prof. CHEN Yunmin, featured in the latest university video, found a solution to tackle soil settlement, increasing the high-speed rail safety.] Quotes from the interview: - The most challenging problem in building high-speed railways is that the speed of high-speed trains needs to reach the speed of wave transmission in the foundation. In this case, the so-called Mach effect will arise in the foundation, which is known as a reson...

Photosensitization reactions for the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) play crucial roles in many applications, including energy conversion, organic waste decomposition, and photodynamic therapy (PDT). Using near-infrared (NIR) light for photosensitization is attractive because NIR excitation offers deeper penetration through various media such as wastewater and biological tissues. However, conventional approaches for NIR photosensitization are hampered by low conversion efficiency and...

The cryo-EM structure of the bacterial flagellar motor-hook complex (Cover image)Many bacteria are capable of swimming 60 or even 100 times their own length in a second. This mobility constantly outdistances the cheetah—the fastest animal on the planet. Since Van Leeuwenhoek, known as the Father of Microbiology, first observed mobile bacteria in the 17th century, bacterial mobility and their mechanisms have attracted extensive research interests. A host of microbiologists, biochemists and b...
