Vibration and jitter of free-flowing thin liquid sheets as target for high-repetition-rate laser-ion acceleration

Frontiers in Physics, 2023
Very thin free-flowing liquid sheets are promising targets for high-repetition-rate laser-ion acceleration. In this work, we report the generation of micrometer-thin free-flowing liquid sheets from the collision of two liquid jets, and study the ...

β‐hydroxy‐β‐methylbutyrate improves fast‐twitch muscle function, histopathology and mitochondrial respiration in the D2.mdx dystrophic mouse

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend β‐Hydroxy‐β‐methylbutyrate (HMB) enhances fast‐twitch muscle and mitochondrial function in D2.mdx mice. Male DBA/2J (wild‐type) and D2.mdx mice aged 3 or 6 months received daily β‐hydroxy‐β‐methylbutyrate (HMB; 1 mg g−1 day−1) via drinking water for 8 weeks. Fast‐twitch extensor digitorum longus (EDL) and slow‐twitch soleus (SOL)

Atomically precise metal cluster enzymes for pathological tissue regeneration

BMEMat, Volume 4, Issue 3, September 2026.
Schematic illustration of atomically precise metal cluster enzymes (MCEs) for pathological tissue regeneration. Atomically precise MCEs can modulate biological processes, such as attenuation of inflammatory responses, eradication of bacterial pathogens, regulation of angiogenesis, and promotion of cell development.

The Host Cell Factor Phosphatase‐2A Subunit PR130 Restricts Replication of Herpes Simplex Virus Type‐1

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 44, 7 August 2026.
Molecular, genetic, virological, and biochemical analysis in combination with global proteome and phosphoproteome profiling and functional assays were applied to study the role of PR130 in the context of HSV‐1 replication. The observations reveal that host‐intrinsic mechanisms regulate HSV‐1 replication and highlight PR130 as a susceptibility factor of
