Teaching Firefly: Companion Material. A Class Schedule for a Course on Joss Whedon and Philosophy
Journal of Science Fiction and Philosophy, 2018 This schedule, provided as a companion to my “Teaching Firefly” article, was used for a sophomore level philosophy course that was populated mostly by non-majors.

Advanced Science, EarlyView.Polycarbonate nanogels enable lipid‐free delivery of anti‐MFAP‐5 siRNA into cancer‐associated fibroblasts (CAF) in hepatocellular carcinoma. In a cirrhotic murine model, this approach silences MFAP‐5, reduces fibroblast activation, and suppresses tumor growth by inhibiting NOTCH/Hes1‐driven angiogenesis. CAF‐targeted MFAP‐5 RNAi and conserved signaling

Crossing classical thresholds: Gods, monsters and Hell dimensions in the Whedon universe
, 2009 This essay shows that Classics provides an enriching context for the hugely popular youth-oriented fantasies on US television. Taking two Joss Whedon created series Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Angel, I examine what additional nuances might be revealed ...

Pathogenic Role of FGFR3 Autoantibodies in Small Fiber Neuropathy
Advanced Science, EarlyView.Autoantibodies against fibroblast growth factor receptor 3 (FGFR3) are identified as pathogenic drivers of pain in small fiber neuropathy. By binding to sensory neurons in dorsal root ganglia, FGFR3 autoantibodies activate MAPK signaling and induce hyperexcitability and mechanical hypersensitivity, establishing FGFR3 autoantibodies as a therapeutic ...

Advanced Science, EarlyView.CircMT‐RNR2 promotes wound healing by enhancing fibroblast proliferation, migration, contraction, and extracellular matrix (ECM) production. It sustains mitochondrial redox balance by stabilizing the antioxidant protein PRDX3, thereby reducing ROS‐induced damage. In diabetic foot ulcers, hypoxia, hyperglycemia, and reduced FGF2 and EGF expression lower

PAF Triggered Pyroptotic NETosis Aggravates Myocardial Ischemia/Reperfusion Injury
Advanced Science, EarlyView.Platelet activating factor (PAF) secreted by cardiomyocytes during MI/R, drives NETs formation and subsequent NETosis. PAF/NETosis signaling activation is an initiative and causal factor in driving MI/R injury. This study identifies dapagliflozin as a potent NETosis inhibitor, and demonstrates that manipulating PAF‐NETosis signal by dapagliflozin or ...

Advanced Science, EarlyView.We propose an optical ferroelectric field‐effect transistor, composed of a MoS2/CIPS heterostructure, demonstrates the feasibility of all‐optical nonvolatile memory, neuromorphic computing, and logic‐in‐memory operations. The device exhibits reversible light‐controlled memory states, retina‐like synaptic plasticity, and wavelength‐selective ...

Advanced Science, EarlyView.This work proposes a reliable strategy to elucidate the structure and composition of conjugated donor‐acceptor block copolymers. The method, based on NMR analysis, allows to extract key structural information such as the number of heterojunctions (NoH) and the number of blocks (NoB) of the copolymers.

Advanced Science, EarlyView.WP(Pip) is a mixture of whey protein and piperine‐loaded nanoemulsion stabilized by WP through microfluidic homogenization. Acting as a “smart key,” piperine opens epithelial tight junctions to enhance absorption of whey protein and, thereby increasing circulating amino acid availability, synergistically up‐regulates the mTOR signaling pathway in ...
