Epigenetic multi-omics reveals the molecular regulatory mechanism underlying liver cold resistance in Hezuo pigs

Non-shivering thermogenesis is one of the adaptive modes of heat production in animals to maintain a constant core body temperature in cold environments, in which the liver plays a crucial role. However, the underlying molecular regulatory mechanisms of this process remain unclea...

Microstructural evolution of SIMP steel during martensitic transformation

SIMP steel, a reduced activation ferritic/martensitic heat–resistant steel, is a promising candidate for structural applications in future nuclear fusion reactors. Understanding the evolution of microstructure in SIMP steel is of practical importance for improving the structural...

Calibration of theMass Spectrometer of China’sChang’E-7 Lunar Soil Water Molecule Analyzer

Abstract The existence of water ice at the lunar south pole has become a major topic in contemporary deep-space exploration. China’s Chang’e-7 lunar mission is scheduled for launch in 2026. One of its primary scientific objectives is to conduct an in situ investigation of water i...

Tracking the baryon number with nuclear collisions

Baryon quantum number is found to be conserved since baryogenesis in the early Universe. Conventionally, each fractionally charged valence quark is understood to carry one-third of a baryon number. An alternative hypothesis posits that baryon number is instead carried by a baryon...

Cholesterol metabolism-immune gene prognostic model in colorectal cancer

To investigate the association between serum cholesterol and the occurrence of colorectal cancer (CRC), and to construct a prognostic model for CRC based on cholesterol metabolism-related genes (CMG), clarifying the model's relationship with immune infiltration. Serum cholesterol...
