Connexin43 Deficiency Leads to Ventricular Arrhythmias by Reprogramming Proline Metabolism
Advanced Science, EarlyView.The study demonstrated that connexin43 (Cx43) knockout caused arrhythmic phenotype and decreased proline content in vitro and in vivo. Mechanistically, Cx43 interacts with the amino acid transporter SNAT2 (sodium‐dependent neutral amino acid transporter), and its deficiency disrupts proline transport and metabolism.

Dorsal Raphe VIP Neurons Are Critical for Survival‐Oriented Vigilance
Advanced Science, EarlyView.DRNVIP neurons in mice and primates are strategically positioned to influence the central extended amygdala via feedback loops. They regulate the excitability of PKC‐δ neurons in the ovBNST and CeA through glutamate release. Their ablation heightens activity in these regions, disrupts active‐phase sleep architecture, enhances risk assessment behaviors ...

Wearable Metamaterials with Embodied Intelligence for Programmable Control of Human Limbs Tremor
Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.Resulting from alternating muscle contractions, tremors can severely limit human ability to perform everyday tasks like walking or talking, due to their disruptive nature. Medication and surgery may not always effectively address tremor control. A wearable device embodying programmable smart metamaterials with adaptable intelligence to meet the demand ...
