The Moduli Space of Harnack Curves in Toric Surfaces

open access: yes, 2020
In 2006, Kenyon and Okounkov computed the moduli space of Harnack curves of degree $d$ in $\mathbb{C}\mathbb{P}^2$. We generalize to any projective toric surface some of the techniques used there. More precisely, we show that the moduli space $\mathcal{H}

Targeting Microglial CD49a Inhibits Neuroinflammation and Demonstrates Therapeutic Potential for Parkinson's Disease

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
This study shows that integrin receptor CD49a (Itga1 gene) is significantly upregulated in hyperactivated microglia and microglia‐specific knockdown of Itga1 rescues neuroinflammation and neurodegeneration in a chronic Parkinson's disease (PD) model by targeting PGAM5‐mediated mitochondrial dysfunction and NLRP3 activation. Targeted inhibition of CD49a

Amebaborne “Attilina massiliensis” Keratitis, France

open access: yesEmerging Infectious Diseases, 2018
We report a case of Acanthamoeba castellani keratitis in a person who wore contact lenses. The amebae hosted an ameba-resistant bacterial symbiont, provisionally named “Attilina massiliensis,” a yet undescribed α-Proteobacterium.

A tropical characterization of complex analytic varieties to be algebraic [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
In this paper we study a $k$-dimensional analytic subvariety of the complex algebraic torus. We show that if its logarithmic limit set is a finite rational $(k-1)$-dimensional spherical polyhedron, then each irreducible component of the variety is ...

Stimuli‐Responsive Supramolecular Biomaterials for Cancer Theranostics

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
The ultimate goal of cancer theranostics is to get imaging agents and therapeutic cargo to tumor sites when and where they are required. “Smart” systems should be developed. This review discusses the characteristics of physiological stimuli, types and action modes of external stimuli, construction approaches and working principles, as well as ...

Discovery of an Atypical Arp2/3 Complex in Malaria Parasites Sheds New Light on Nuclear Actin

open access: yesCytoskeleton, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The Arp2/3 complex is a key actin nucleator essential for cytoskeletal dynamics in eukaryotes. Previously believed absent in apicomplexan parasites, we recently identified an atypical Arp2/3 complex in malaria parasites consisting of five divergent subunits and a putative kinetochore‐associated factor.

A New Algivorous Heterolobosean Amoeba, Euplaesiobystra perlucida sp. nov. (Tetramitia, Discoba), Isolated from Pilot-Scale Cultures of Phaeodactylum tricornutum

open access: yesMicrobiology Spectrum, 2023
The diatom Phaeodactylum tricornutum is regarded as a prospective “cell factory” for the high-value products fucoxanthin and eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA). However, contamination with grazing protozoa is a significant barrier to its commercial cultivation.

Insect‐Derived Bioactives for Glycemic Control and Gut Health: A Review

open access: yesFood Frontiers, EarlyView.
Insect‐derived bioactive compounds (e.g., peptides, polysaccharides) effectively regulate blood glucose through dual mechanisms: directly inhibiting carbohydrate‐digesting enzymes and glucose transporters, and indirectly modulating gut microbiota to enhance intestinal barrier integrity.

Tumor Cell Migration May Be an Inherent “Foraging” Behavior

open access: yesMedicine Advances, EarlyView.
Tumor cells gradually form pseudopodia, migrate to necrotic cells, make contact with them, and absorb necrotic cell debris. During this migration, small vesicles formed by dying tumor cells also gradually migrate toward living tumor cells. Once the nutrients from the necrotic cells have been completely absorbed, the living tumor cells will leave ...
