Structure-function and mechanistic analyses of a nickel-dependent sulfonamide synthase
A cupin superfamily enzyme SbzM catalyzes the formation of sulfonamide moiety in the biosynthesis of a sulfonamide natural antibiotic altemicidin. Here, we report the structure-function and mechanistic analyses of AmSbzM by in vitro characterization, crystallization, mutagenesis and calculations.

Western Concepts and Arab Intellectual Autonomy. The Case of Mohammed Abed Al-Jabri
Mohammed Abed Al-Jabri sought to adapt Western political ideas to the Arab-Islamic context to support a modern Arab state. He critically engaged with secularism and aimed to revive indigenous political concepts, creating a cautious synthesis between Western paradigms and Islamic thought.
Stabilizing a cell state to restore immune recognition
In PDAC, tumor plasticity drives immune evasion and resistance. We show that MEKi induces GATA6-dependent MHCI upregulation in classical cells but also promotes loss of this immune-permissive state. Stabilizing GATA6 via HDACi preserves antigen presentation and boosts CD8âș T cell responses.
CdâAsâ Kinetic Inductance for Miniaturized Terahertz Circuits
Terahertz technologies and integrated systems remain constrained by geometry-dependent inductors. CdâAsâ spiral inductors harness giant kinetic inductance to enable compact, low-loss THz components and provide a scalable materials-driven route for next-generation on-chip circuits.
