Exploration, EarlyView.Selenium (Se) is a crucial element in selenoproteins, key biomolecules for physiological function in vivo. Central nervous system can express all 25 kinds of selenoproteins, which protect neurons by reducing oxidative stress and inflammatory response. Neuroprotection is being investigated through the biological study of Se.

Glia, EarlyView.Comprehensive analysis of cortical astrocyte gene expression across the lifespan. Profiling dynamic changes of key astrocyte genes reveals functional shifts. Astrocytes contribute to gene‐length‐dependent transcription decline in the aging brain. ABSTRACT Astrocytes are the most abundant glial cell type in the central nervous system (CNS).

arXiv, 2003 What determines the caliber of axonal branches? We pursue the hypothesis that the axonal caliber has evolved to minimize signal propagation delays, while keeping arbor volume to a minimum. We show that for a general cost function the optimal diameters of mother ($d_0$) and daughter ($d_1$, $d_2$) branches at a bifurcation obey a branching law: $d_{0}^{\

Nanomaterials for promoting axon regeneration after spinal cord injury: Mechanisms and prospects
Interdisciplinary Medicine, EarlyView.The effects of clinical therapies for spinal cord injury (SCI) are greatly limited due to poor axon regeneration. This review systematically discusses the ability of nanomaterials (NMs) to treat SCI and the mechanism underlying their therapeutic effects. The properties of NMs that are conducive to axon regeneration after SCI are outlined.

Bioelectronic Hydrogels: Exemplifying the Synergy Between Biopolymers and Conjugated Polymers
Macromolecular Materials and Engineering, EarlyView.This review aims to highlight the benefits of biopolymer‐based conductive hydrogels as soft bioelectronics for biointerface applications. Biopolymers deliver biocompatibility, commercial availability, low cost, and sustainability, whereas conjugated polymers provide electronic conductivity.

arXiv, 2019 Axons functionally link the somato-dendritic compartment to synaptic terminals. Structurally and functionally diverse, they accomplish a central role in determining the delays and reliability with which neuronal ensembles communicate. By combining their active and passive biophysical properties, they ensure a plethora of physiological computations.

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.Symbiotic gill and nonsymbiotic mantle of mussel Gigantidas haimaensis responded differently to deep‐sea sampling stress caused by acute environmental changes. Sharply increased transcription factors potentially play key roles in initiating the response of sampled deep‐sea macrobenthos to the sampling stress.
