The congenital immune response is the body’s first line of defense against exotic pathogens and stressors. This rapid non-specific response relies on the capability of pattern recognition receptors in recognizing pathogen-related molecular patterns and damage-related molecular patterns released by damaged cells in a quick manner.The cytosolic pattern recognition receptors (PRRs) nucleotide oligomerization domain 1 (NOD1) and NOD2 play crucial roles in host defense and survival, primarily by con...

The homeostasis of potassium, sodium and chlorine in human cells is subjected to rigorous regulation. Once the homeostasis is knocked off balance, it will trigger a series of diseases such as hypertension, depression and epilepsy. On the cell membrane, there is a kind of protein called cation-chloride cotransporter (CCC), which can take ions into and out of cells, thus effectively regulating the ion homeostasis in cells. However, for lack of precise information about its structure, people have l...

The ability of animal cells to sense and adapt to oxygen availability is essential for life activities. William G. Kaelin Jr., Peter J. Ratcliffe and Gregg L. Semenza are awarded the 2019 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for their discoveries of how cells sense and adapt to oxygen availability. Mitochondria are the most crucial oxygen-consuming organelles in cells and are also the core sites of cell metabolism, providing sufficient energy and substances for cells. Due to the rapid grow...

When a cup of dense saltwater is continuously heated, there will appear small crystalized particles. The research team led by Prof. TANG Ruikang of the Zhejiang University Department of Chemistry “intercepted” a special precursor—ionic oligomers in their endeavor to “suspend” this crystallization process. Amazingly, oligomers can be cross-linked like polymer materials, thereby forming continuous and bulky inorganic materials. This means that inorganic materials are expected to be m...
