The neocortex contains a vast collection of diverse neurons organized into distinct layers. While nearly all neocortical neurons are generated by radial glial progenitors(RGPs), it remains largely unclear how a complex yet organized neocortex is constructed reliably and robustly. Here, we show that the division behavior and neuronal output of RGPs are highly constrained with patterned variabilities to support the reliable and robust construction of the mouse neocortex. The neurogenic process of RGPs can be well-approximated by a consistent Poisson-like process unfolding over time, producing deep to superficial layer neurons progressively. The exact neuronal outputs regarding layer occupation are variable; yet, this variability is constrained systematically to support all layer formation, largely reflecting the variable intermediate progenitor generation and RGP neurogenic entry and exit timing differences. Together, these results define the fundamental features of neocortical neurogenesis with a balanced reliability and variability for the construction of the complex neocortex.

Cellular senescence and chronic inflammation in response to aging are considered to be indicators of brain aging; they have a great impact on the aging process and are the main risk factors for neurodegeneration. Reviewing the microglial response to aging and neuroinflammation in neurodegenerative diseases will help understand the importance of microglia in neurodegenerative diseases. This review describes the origin and function of microglia and focuses on the role of different states of the microglial response to aging and chronic inflammation on the occurrence and development of neurodegenerative diseases, including Alzheimer’s disease, Huntington’s chorea, and Parkinson’s disease. This review also describes the potential benefits of treating neurodegenerative diseases by modulating changes in microglial states. Therefore, inducing a shift from the neurotoxic to neuroprotective microglial state in neurodegenerative diseases induced by aging and chronic inflammation holds promise for the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases in the future.

In the ongoing arms race between bacteria and bacteriophages, bacteriophages have evolved anti-CRISPR proteins to counteract bacterial CRISPR-Cas systems. Recently, AcrIIA25.1 and AcrIIA32 have been found to effectively inhibit the activity of SpyCas9 both in bacterial and human cells. However, their molecular mechanisms remain elusive. Here, we report the cryo-electron microscopy structures of ternary complexes formed by AcrIIA25.1 and AcrIIA32 bound to SpyCas9-sgRNA. Using structural analysis and biochemical experiments, we revealed that AcrIIA25.1 and AcrIIA32 recognize a novel, previously-unidentified anti-CRISPR binding site on SpyCas9. We found that both AcrIIA25.1 and AcrIIA32 directly interact with the WED domain, where they spatially obstruct conformational changes of the WED and PI domains, thereby inhibiting SpyCas9 from recognizing protospacer adjacent motif(PAM) and unwinding double-stranded DNA. In addition,they may inhibit nuclease activity by blocking the dynamic conformational changes of the SpyCas9 surveillance complex. In summary, our data elucidate the inhibition mechanisms of two new anti-CRISPR proteins, provide new strategies for the modulation of SpyCas9 activity,and expand our understanding of the diversity of anti-CRISPR protein inhibition mechanisms.

To investigate the circuit-level neural mechanisms of behavior, simultaneous imaging of neuronal activity in multiple cortical and subcortical regions is highly desired. Miniature head-mounted microscopes offer the capability of calcium imaging in freely behaving animals. However, implanting multiple microscopes on a mouse brain remains challenging due to space constraints and the cumbersome weight of the ***, we present TINIscope, a Tightly Integrated Neuronal Imaging microscope optimized for electronic and opto-mechanical design. With its compact and lightweight design of 0.43 g, TINIscope enables unprecedented simultaneous imaging of behavior-relevant activity in up to four brain regions in ***-of-concept experiments with TINIscope recorded over 1000 neurons in four hippocampal subregions and revealed concurrent activity patterns spanning across these regions. Moreover, we explored potential multi-modal experimental designs by integrating additional modules for optogenetics, electrical stimulation or local field potential recordings. Overall, TINIscope represents a timely and indispensable tool for studying the brain-wide interregional coordination that underlies unrestrained behaviors.

Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer-related deaths worldwide,with an estimated 1.8 million deaths in 2020 alone.1 While several risk factors are associated with lung cancer,smoking remains the most significant environmental cause of the disease.1 One of the most potent carcinogens in tobacco smoke is 4-(methylnitrosoamino)-1-(3-pyridyl)-1-butanone(NNK),which is produced from nicotine through a series of metabolic reactions.

Tropical cyclones typically form over warm tropical and subtropical ocean surfaces, as their formation and intensification rely primarily on the energy provided by the ocean. Pioneering research by Gray (1968) revealed that the formation of tropical cyclones requires the sea surface temperature (SST) to be no less than 26.5℃. Consequently, SST is commonly recognized as a crucial parameter among the environmental factors influencing tropical cyclone formation(Gray, 1979;Emanuel and Nolan, 2004).
