A conserved element in the first intron of Cd4 has a lineage specific, TCR signal-responsive, canonical enhancer function that matches the timing of cell surface CD4 upregulation required to prevent lineage choice error

Frontiers in Immunology
IntroductionThe regulation of Cd4 expression during T-cell development and immune responses is essential for proper lineage commitment and function in the periphery.

Habitat loss and simplification lower arthropod richness but not diversity

Ecosphere
Habitat loss is rarely truly random and often occurs selectively with respect to the plant species comprising the habitat. Such selective habitat removal that decreases plant species diversity, that is, habitat simplification or homogenization, may have ...

Romantic Relationship Satisfaction and Parent-Infant Bonding During the Transition to Parenthood: An Attachment-Based Perspective

Frontiers in Psychology, 2020
An important element of well-being during the transition to parenthood is new parents’ relationships with their partners and babies. Attachment theory posits that early caregiving experiences influence close relationships throughout the lifespan ...

Tuning the Dielectric Properties of Individual Clay Nanosheets by Interlayer Composition: Toward Nano‐Electret Materials

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
The dielectric properties of clays are studied on the level of individual monolayers and functional double stacks. The material breakdown characteristics and charge storage performance are analyzed. For illustration, a defined charge pattern representing a cuneiform character is produced, written into a microscopic clay tile, referencing the origins of

Electroactive Liquid Crystal Elastomers as Soft Actuators

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Electroactive liquid crystal elastomers (eLCEs) can be actuated via electromechanical, electrochemical, or electrothermal effects. a) Electromechanical effects include Maxwell stress, electrostriction, and the electroclinic effect. b) Electrochemical effects arise from electrode redox reactions.

The Application of Metaphor in Philosophical Hermeneutics of Gadamer and Pragmatism of Davidson [PDF]

Journal of Philosophical Investigations
Many theorists have been developing their concepts on metaphor, among which Gadamer and Davidson are two thinkers for whom metaphor plays a key role in their philosophical project—and, interestingly, both disagree with Aristotle’s view which considers ...

Block Copolymers: Emerging Building Blocks for Additive Manufacturing

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
This review addresses how block copolymer (BCP) physics and rheology have led to the widespread use of BCPs in advanced additive manufacturing techniques, with particular emphasis on the untapped potential of these nanostructured materials toward achieving multi‐scale architected materials with unique, programmable material properties.

Intestinal peroxisome proliferator‐activated receptor α‐fatty acid‐binding protein 1 axis modulates nonalcoholic steatohepatitis

Hepatology, EarlyView., 2022
Abstract Background and Aims Peroxisome proliferator‐activated receptor α (PPARα) regulates fatty acid transport and catabolism in liver. However, the role of intestinal PPARα in lipid homeostasis is largely unknown. Here, intestinal PPARα was examined for its modulation of obesity and NASH. Approach and Results Intestinal PPARα was activated and fatty
