Beauty and the Beastly Prime Minister [PDF]

, 2014
This essay examines the so-called “turn to beauty” in British fiction since the 1990s as a response to the political and social consequences of Thatcherism. Focusing primarily on four texts—Jonathan Coe’s What a Carve Up! (1994), Julian Barnes’s England,

Capture and Culture of Circulating Tumor Cells Using a Biodegradable 3D Scaffold for Patient‐Derived Xenograft Construction

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A self‐supporting, biocompatible, and biodegradable 3D cellulose scaffold has been developed for efficient isolation and in situ expansion of circulating tumor cells (CTCs) from patient blood. Subsequently, the 3D cellulose scaffold with cultured CTCs is directly implanted into immunodeficient mice for constructing patient CTC‐derived xenograft (CDX ...

Ultrasound Modulation of Visual Circuits in Mice Independent of Auditory Confound

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
In this study, Qiu et al. found that low‐intensity ultrasound can directly activate sparse ultrasound‐sensitive neurons (UNs) in the primary visual cortex (V1) of deafened mice. The proportion of these sparse UNs is pressure‐dependent. Furthermore, ultrasound modulates visual circuitry with distinct excitatory and inhibitory effects.

Physical Origin of Temperature Induced Activation Energy Switching in Electrically Conductive Cement

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
The temperature‐induced Arrhenius activation energy switching phenomenon of electrical conduction in electrically conductive cement originates from structural degradation within the biphasic ionic‐electronic conduction architecture and shows percolation‐governed characteristics: pore network opening dominates the low‐percolation regime with downward ...

Persistently Increased Expression of PKMzeta and Unbiased Gene Expression Profiles Identify Hippocampal Molecular Traces of a Long‐Term Active Place Avoidance Memory and “Shadow” Proteins

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Protein complexes like KIBRA‐PKMζ are crucial for maintaining memories, forming month‐long protein traces in memory‐tagged neurons, but conventional RNA‐seq analysis fails to detect their transcript changes, leaving memory molecules undetected in the shadows of abundantly‐expressed genes.

Fe2+‐ Induced Activation of Single and Dual Metal Site—Lattice Oxygen Mechanism in Fe Rich NiFe‐LDHs for Oxygen Evolution Reaction

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Fe‐rich NiFe‐LDH catalysts derived from MOFs, showing superior OER activity via lattice oxygen mechanism activation. ABSTRACT Developing a durable and efficient oxygen evolution reaction (OER) catalyst without noble metals is essential for the economical and sustainable production of hydrogen by alkaline water electrolysis.

Nanoparticle‐Mediated Immunometabolic‐Epigenetic Remodeling Enhances Schwann Cell‐Macrophage Interaction for Sciatic Nerve Regeneration

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A biomimetic Prussian White nanoparticle (PW) is engineered to achieve long‐term local retention and orchestrate immunometabolic‐epigenetic remodeling for sciatic nerve regeneration. PW directly targets hexokinase 2 to suppress glycolysis, thereby elevating α‐ketoglutarate and driving Kdm4a/b‐mediated demethylation of H3K9me3.
