Crosstalk Between CTSB+ Glioblastoma Cells and S100A10+ Macrophages: A Self‐Reinforcing Circuit Promotes Immune Evasion and Limits Response to Immunotherapy

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
In glioblastoma, M2‐polarized macrophages secrete IL‐6, which activates STAT3 signaling in tumor cells to upregulate CTSB. Tumor‐derived CTSB binds the C‐terminus of macrophage S100A10, reinforcing M2 polarization and further IL‐6 secretion, thereby establishing a feedforward IL‐6/STAT3/CTSB/S100A10 loop. This cascade drives tumor growth, invasion, and

Induction of Autopolyploidy and Preliminary Investigation of the Dwarfing Mechanism in Hedychium coccineum

Plants
In this study, Hedychium coccineum tetraploid plants and octaploid plants induced by colchicine were used as materials. The ploidy levels were precisely identified by combining root tip squash and flow cytometry analyses, and the differences between ...

The Arabidopsis Gain-of-Function Mutant ssi4 Requires RAR1 and SGT1b Differentially for Defense Activation and Morphological Alterations

Molecular Plant-Microbe Interactions, 2008
A gain-of-function mutation in resistance (R) gene SSI4 causes constitutive activation of defense responses, spontaneous necrotic lesion formation, enhanced resistance against virulent pathogens, and a severe dwarf phenotype.

Enhancing Near‐Room‐Temperature Thermoelectric Performance of n‐Type Mg3(Sb, Bi)2‐Based Materials via ZrB2 Heterointerface Engineering

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A conductive ZrB2 ceramic composite strategy was developed for Mg3(Sb, Bi)2 thermoelectrics to regulate carrier transport and phonon scattering through heterointerface engineering. The 1.0 wt.% ZrB2 composite achieved enhanced room‐temperature performance, with a power factor of 28.51 µW cm−1 K−2 and a peak ZT of 1.22 at 573 K.

Hate speech and dwarfism: The influence of cultural representations.

, 2019
Dwarfism has strong links to the entertainment industry. However, how people with dwarfism are represented within the entertainment industry often encourages unwanted attention towards them (Pritchard, 2017), including in the form of hate speech.

Bamboo‐Slip‐Inspired Conformal Reconfigurable Metasurfaces

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Bamboo‐slip‐inspired conformal reconfigurable metasurface system. The structure is mainly composed of three parts, which are conformal metasurface, pattern reconfigurable antenna, and control components (such as Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA)). Conformal metasurfaces draw inspiration from the design of ancient Chinese bamboo slips.

Dwarfism and gigantism in historical picture postcards

, 1998
A collection of 893 historical picture postcards from 1900 to 1935, depicting dwarfs and giants, was analysed from medical and psychosocial viewpoints. In conditions such as ‘bird headed dwarfism’, achondroplasia, cretinism, so-called Aztecs or pinheads,
