Core Insights - The article discusses the unique longevity and cancer resistance of the bowhead whale, which can live over 200 years, and highlights the role of a specific protein, Cold-inducible RNA-binding Protein (CIRBP), in DNA repair and genomic stability [3][6][11]. Group 1: Bowhead Whale Longevity - The bowhead whale has a lifespan exceeding 200 years, which is significantly longer than that of other mammals, such as mice, which live only 2-3 years [2]. - Despite its large size (over 80 tons) and the expectation of high cancer rates due to DNA mutations, the bowhead whale exhibits low cancer incidence, suggesting a unique genetic mechanism for cancer prevention [2][11]. Group 2: Research Findings - A study published in Nature identified CIRBP as a key protein activated in cold environments that aids in repairing DNA double-strand breaks, contributing to the bowhead whale's longevity and low cancer risk [3][6]. - The research demonstrated that expressing CIRBP in human cells enhances DNA repair capabilities, and in fruit flies, it extends lifespan and increases resistance to DNA-damaging radiation [9][11]. Group 3: Implications for Human Health - The findings suggest that enhancing DNA repair mechanisms could provide significant opportunities for extending human lifespan and improving health [4][11]. - The study indicates that bowhead whales maintain genomic integrity not by relying on additional anti-cancer genes but through superior DNA repair processes [11].

Core Viewpoint - The research presents a novel "Plug-in" breeding strategy for potato late blight resistance, addressing a significant global food security threat posed by the pathogen Phytophthora infestans [2][6]. Group 1: Research Findings - The study constructed a potato disease resistance gene resource library, revealing the differentiation characteristics of two types of resistance genes and their co-evolution with pathogens [3]. - The research team identified three new late blight resistance genes through comparative and evolutionary genomics, proposing a new breeding strategy for developing durable resistant potato varieties [3][4]. - A comprehensive "potato NLRome" was created, encompassing 39,211 NLR class resistance genes from 31 wild and 21 cultivated potato genomes, representing a wide diversity of both wild and cultivated potatoes [4]. Group 2: Genetic Insights - The team successfully cloned the Rpi-cph1 and Rpi-cjm1 genes, with the former previously only found in American black nightshade, and demonstrated the widespread presence of atypical NLR integrated domains in the NLRome [4]. - The identification of the Rpi-brk1 gene, which recognizes pathogen effector proteins through its heavy metal-associated (HMA) domain, suggests that the "Plug-in" strategy can broaden the resistance spectrum of potato NLR genes [4]. Group 3: Implications for Agriculture - The findings provide a new solution for tackling potato late blight, a global challenge, and establish a paradigm for discovering resistance genes through comparative and evolutionary genomics [6].

Core Viewpoint - Solid-state lithium metal batteries are considered the next generation of power batteries due to their high energy density and safety, but they face significant challenges in practical working conditions [2]. Group 1: Research Findings - A new study published in Nature introduces the concept of a "ductile solid electrolyte interphase" (SEI), which enhances the mechanical and lithium-ion transport properties of solid-state batteries [3]. - The research team developed a novel plastic SEI that significantly improves cycling stability under high current density and low-temperature conditions [6]. - The plastic SEI maintains structural integrity while enabling rapid ion transport, achieving over 4500 hours of long cycle life at high current density (15 mA/cm²) and high capacity (15 mAh/cm²) [6]. Group 2: Implications and Innovations - This research shifts the traditional focus on "hard" SEI designs to a new emphasis on "ductility," providing a precise construction path from solid electrolyte components to ideal interfaces [7]. - The findings offer a new strategy to address interface failure issues in solid-state batteries and provide important theoretical support for the design of new interface layers, which is crucial for the practical development of solid-state batteries [7].

Nature Medicine:张康/陈香美合作开发AI生命时钟,准确预测从婴儿到老年的生物学年龄及疾病风险

Core Viewpoint - The article discusses the development of a comprehensive biological clock model, LifeClock, which can accurately predict biological age across the entire lifespan, from infancy to old age, based on routine clinical data [6][19]. Group 1: Biological Age vs. Chronological Age - Biological age (BA) is a more accurate measure of an individual's aging process compared to chronological age (CA), as it reflects the accumulated biological damage relative to average individuals of the same actual age [9][12]. - The study highlights the existence of two distinct biological clock models: a "developmental clock" before age 18, which governs growth, and an "aging clock" after age 18, which governs functional decline [7][18]. Group 2: Research Findings and Methodology - The research utilized nearly 25 million clinical visit records to develop LifeClock, which predicts biological age and assesses its association with disease risk and survival outcomes [5][16]. - The AI model EHRFormer was trained using data from 9,680,764 individuals, allowing for high-precision analysis of developmental and aging dynamics [16][21]. Group 3: Implications for Precision Medicine - The findings suggest that the LifeClock model can predict disease risk more accurately than using chronological age alone, potentially transforming the understanding of aging and its relationship with diseases [21]. - This technology is practical and accessible, as it relies on routine clinical data rather than expensive specialized tests, making it easier to implement in existing healthcare systems [23].
