Violence and warfare in prehistoric Japan [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
The origins and consequences of warfare or largescale intergroup violence have been subject of long debate. Based on exhaustive surveys of skeletal remains for prehistoric hunter-gatherers and agriculturists in Japan, the present study examines levels of

State‐of‐the‐Art, Insights, and Perspectives for MOFs‐Nanocomposites and MOF‐Derived (Nano)Materials

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
Different approaches to MOF‐NP composite formation, such as ship‐in‐a‐bottle, bottle‐around‐the‐ship and in situ one‐step synthesis, are used. Owing to synergistic effects, the advantageous features of the components of the composites are beneficially combined, and their individual drawbacks are mitigated.

Physics of Selective Targeting of Cancer Cells by Magnetoelectric Nanoparticles: Exploring the Role of Conductivity and Capacitance in Tumor‐Specific Attraction

open access: yesAdvanced Theory and Simulations, EarlyView.
Magnetoelectric nanoparticles exploit cancer cells' electrical vulnerabilities—altered membrane charge and higher capacitance—to achieve tumor‐specific targeting without bioreagents. MATLAB simulations reveal how electromagnetic forces create targeting specificity, while external magnetic fields enhance precision. This may enable wirelessly controlled,

Biallelic Variants in the DARS2 Gene as a Novel Cause of Axonal Charcot–Marie–Tooth Disease

open access: yesAnnals of Neurology, EarlyView.
Objective Charcot–Marie–Tooth (CMT) disease is a heterogeneous group of genetic neuropathies, with >90 genes identified. Several aminoacyl‐tRNA synthetases have been linked to CMT. DARS2, encoding the mitochondrial aspartyl‐tRNA synthetase, has been typically associated with leukoencephalopathy with brainstem and spinal cord involvement and lactate ...
