In the comparison with SARS-CoVof 2003,SARS-CoV-2 is extremely well adapted to the human populations and its adaptive shift from the animal host to humans must have been even more *** the blind watchmaker argument,such an adaptive shift can only happen prior to the onset of the current pandemic and with the aid of step-by-step selection.

DNA damage-activated signaling pathways are critical for coordinating multiple cellular processes, which must be tightly regulated to maintain genome stability. To provide a comprehensive and unbiased perspective of DNA damage response (DDR) signaling pathways, we performed 30 fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS)-based genome-wide CRISPR screens in human cell lines with antibodies recognizing distinct endogenous DNA damage signaling proteins to identify critical regulators involved in DDR. We discovered that proteasome-mediated processing is an early and prerequisite event for cells to trigger camptothecinand etoposide-induced DDR signaling. Furthermore, we identified PRMT1 and PRMT5 as modulators that regulate ATM protein level. Moreover, we discovered that GNB1L is a key regulator of DDR signaling via its role as a co-chaperone specifically regulating PIKK proteins. Collectively, these screens offer a rich resource for further investigation of DDR, which may provide insight into strategies of targeting these DDR pathways to improve therapeutic outcomes.

The rapid progress of foundation models has led to the prosperity of autonomous agents, which leverage the universal capabilities of foundation models to conduct reasoning, decision-making, and environmental interaction. However, the efficacy of agents remains limited when operating in intricate, realistic environments. In this work, we introduce the principles of Unified Alignment for Agents (UA2), which advocate for the simultaneous alignment of agents with human intentions, environmental dynamics, and self-constraints such as the limitation of monetary budgets. From the perspective of UA2, we review the current agent research and highlight the neglected factors in existing agent benchmarks and method candidates. We also conduct proof-of-concept studies by introducing realistic features to Web-Shop (Yao et al., 2022a), including user profiles to demonstrate intentions, personalized reranking for complex environmental dynamics, and runtime cost statistics to reflect self-constraints. We then follow the principles of UA2 to propose an initial design of our agent and benchmark its performance with several candidate baselines in the retrofitted WebShop. The extensive experimental results further prove the importance of the principles of UA2. Our research sheds light on the next steps of autonomous agent research with improved general problem-solving abilities.

A series of Ca2-xSrxMgSi2O7: Ce3+, Eu2+ (x = 0, 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2) phosphors were synthesized on the basis of high temperature solid-state reaction strategy. Its phase composition, optical spectral properties, fluorescence lifetime and temperature sensitivity were investigated in detail. Under excitation at 342 nm, the emission spectra of Ca2MgSi2O7: Ce3+, Eu2+ exhibit a purple emission band (Ce3+ ions) and a green emission band (Eu2+ ions). The emission band of Ce3+ overlaps with the excitation band of Eu2+, indicating that there may be energy transfer (ET) between the two ions. The decreasing fluorescence lifetime of Ce3+ with increasing Eu2+ concentration further proves the existent of ET process in Ca2MgSi2O7: Ce3+, Eu2+ phosphor. In addition, Ca2-xSrxMgSi2O7: Ce3+, Eu2+ solid solution was designed and synthesized by Sr2+ substituting Ca2+. As Sr2+ gradually replaced Ca2+, the blue-shift of Ce3+ and Eu(2+)emission band were caused by the change of crystal field. With the increase of temperature, the fluorescence intensity of Ce3+ and Eu2+ emission bands decreased slowly and rapidly, respectively. Hence, in the Ce3+/Eu2+ co-activated Ca2-xSrxMgSi2O7 phosphor, Ce3+ ions and Eu2+ ions can be used as fluorescence intensity ratio (FIR) signals. The maximum relative sensitivity can reach 2.43% K-1 (at 293 K) under 342 nm excitation. The above results indicate that Ca2-xSrxMgSi2O7: Ce3+, Eu2+ phosphors are potential candidates for optical thermometer materials.
