Targeting Endogenous Lipophagy: A Novel Strategy to Enhance MSC Osteogenesis and Mineralization for Senile Osteoporosis Therapy

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Schematic representation of the role of lipophagy in bone mesenchymal stem cells(MSCs). In healthy MSCs, functional lipophagy efficiently degrades lipid droplets to support oxidative phosphorylation and cellular energy production, thereby facilitating osteogenic differentiation and matrix mineralization.

Bribe-proof rules in the division problem [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
The division problem consists of allocating an amount of a perfectly divisible good among a group of n agents with single-peaked preferences. A rule maps preference profiles into n shares of the amount to be allocated.

Reinstating Combinatorial Protections for Manipulation and Bribery in Single-Peaked and Nearly Single-Peaked Electorates

open access: yes, 2015
Understanding when and how computational complexity can be used to protect elections against different manipulative actions has been a highly active research area over the past two decades.

Carboxyphenolate Coordination Frameworks for High‐Voltage Calcium Storage

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
A hexaanionic carboxyphenolate coordination framework, Ca2‐M‐THBPD (M = Mg, Ca, Ba), exhibits ligand‐centered enolate‐quinonoid redox activity enabling tunable, high‐voltage Ca2+ storage (3.5 V vs Ca2+/Ca) modulated by spectator cations. The amorphous structure accommodates reversible divalent‐ion insertion, contributing to enhanced cycling stability ...

Enhancing Biogenic Formic Acid Production in the Modified OxFA Process by Acetonitrile Addition

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
In this study, the beneficial effect of using acetonitrile as a co‐solvent in the modified OxFA process is shown, outperforming methanol, demonstrating improved reaction kinetics combined with high selectivity for the HPA‐2 (H5PV2Mo10O40) catalyzed oxidation of xylose to FA.

Bribery: Who Pays, Who Refuses, What Are the Payoffs? [PDF]

open access: yes
We provide a theoretical framework for understanding when an official angles for a bribe, when a client pays, and the payoffs to the client's decision. We test this framework using a new data set on bribery of Peruvian public officials by households. The

Ethical and Frugal Approaches to Animal Experimentation in Bioelectronics and Neural Engineering—An Invertebrate Renaissance?

open access: yesAdvanced Electronic Materials, EarlyView.
Invertebrates are the classic neuroscience models and should make a comeback. Invertebrate organisms can be a more ethical and cost‐effective way to move bioelectronics research forward more rapidly. ABSTRACT The accelerating development of bioelectronic neural interfaces has brought increased attention to ethical considerations surrounding in vivo ...

Strategic Aspects of Voluntary Disclosure Programs for Corruption Offences: Towards a Design of Good Practice [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
Even though high penalties for corruption offences have a deterrent and preventive effect, they also entrap bribe-takers and bribe-givers in their corrupt relationship.
