Degradable Magnetic Composites from Recycled NdFeB Magnets for Soft Actuation and Sensing

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
This work presents a degradable soft magnetic composite made from recycled NdFeB particles embedded in a gelatin‐based organogel. The material is processed into magnetic sensors and soft robotic components, which can later be dissolved in a green solvent to recover NdFeB magnetic particles.

A frameshift variant in FAM129C contributes to achalasia through B cell responses against the GABAA receptor

Nature Communications
Achalasia is a rare esophageal motility disorder of poorly understood etiology. Here, we perform a large trio-based whole-genome sequencing study of achalasia and identify a recessively inherited frameshift variant in FAM129C (p.Ala454fs).
