Validation of Hv1 channel functions in BV2 microglial cells using small molecule modulators
Microglia are the first responders to insults or damages in the brain where they display both beneficial and detrimental effects. Excessively activated microglia aggravate the secondary damage by producing several proinflammatory mediators. Voltage-gated

AN INFLUENCE OF THE d311 EFFECT ON THE BEHAVIOR OF THE CANTILEVER BEAM-SHAPED PIEZOELECTRIC ACTIVATOR MADE OF TWO LAYERS OF PVDF WITH INVERSE POLARITY [PDF]
In the present work an example of the numerical modeling of electro-mechanical coupling of the activator in the form of cantilever beam made of two layers PVDF subjected to an inverse polarity is described.

Integration of circadian and hypoxia signaling via non‐canonical heterodimerization
CLOCK, BMAL1, and HIFs are basic helix‐loop‐helix and Per‐Arnt‐Sim domain (bHLH‐PAS) proteins, which function as transcription factors. bHLH‐PAS proteins are designated in two classes. Many class I proteins are regulated by environmental signals via their PAS domains, but such signals have not been identified for all.

Atmospheric neutrino data : Active-active × active-sterile oscillations [PDF]
I summarize here the results of a global fit to the full data set corresponding to 33.0 kt-yr of data of the Super-Kamiokande experiment as well as to all other experiments in order to compare the active-active and active-sterile neutrinos oscillation channels to the atmospheric neutrino anomaly.

Function‐driven design of a surrogate interleukin‐2 receptor ligand
Interleukin (IL)‐2 signaling can be achieved and precisely fine‐tuned through the affinity, distance, and orientation of the heterodimeric receptors with their ligands. We designed a biased IL‐2 surrogate ligand that selectively promotes effector T and natural killer cell activation and differentiation. Interleukin (IL) receptors play a pivotal role in

Mechanisms of parasite‐mediated disruption of brain vessels
Parasites can affect the blood vessels of the brain, often causing serious neurological problems. This review explains how different parasites interact with and disrupt these vessels, what this means for brain health, and why these processes matter. Understanding these mechanisms may help us develop better ways to prevent or treat brain infections in ...

Time after time – circadian clocks through the lens of oscillator theory
Oscillator theory bridges physics and circadian biology. Damped oscillators require external drivers, while limit cycles emerge from delayed feedback and nonlinearities. Coupling enables tissue‐level coherence, and entrainment aligns internal clocks with environmental cues.

Five ways to model active processes in elastic solids: Active forces, active stresses, active strains, active fibers, and active metrics [PDF]
An important contribution of Gerard Maugin was his study of anelasticity. It is well appreciated that in biological systems, anelasticity manifests itself through growth and remodeling and Maugin and his collaborators have helped build a general theory suitable to model such fundamental processes.

Multiple ETS family transcription factors bind mutant p53 via distinct interaction regions
Mutant p53 gain‐of‐function is thought to be mediated by interaction with other transcription factors. We identify multiple ETS transcription factors that can bind mutant p53 and found that this interaction can be promoted by a PXXPP motif. ETS proteins that strongly bound mutant p53 were upregulated in ovarian cancer compared to ETS proteins that ...
