Reflection and transmission of shear elastic waves through periodically stratified piezoelectric reflector with imperfect interfaces [PDF]
The effect of imperfect contact interfaces is studied in the problem of reflection and transmission of elastic waves in an elastic homogeneous medium with a sandwiched layer/reflector made of piezoelectric material of cubic or hexagonal symmetry.

Bacteria use structural imperfect mimicry to hijack the host interactome.
Bacteria use protein-protein interactions to infect their hosts and hijack fundamental pathways, which ensures their survival and proliferation. Hence, the infectious capacity of the pathogen is closely related to its ability to interact with host ...

Heat Production in a Simply Supported Multilayer Elliptic Annulus Composite Plate and Its Associated Thermal Stresses [PDF]
This paper is concerned with the theoretical treatment of thermoelastic problem in multilayer elliptical composite plate and the generation of heat in the body as well as at the interfaces with imperfect thermal contact under arbitrary initial ...

Ultrasonic Spectroscopy of two Parallel Imperfect Interfaces [PDF]
The ultrasonic method is promising for the nondestructive characterization of imperfect interfaces in many joined structures (for example solid state bonds, adhesive joints, etc.) When the interphasial layer containing imperfections is thin and the ...

Gut microbiome and aging—A dynamic interplay of microbes, metabolites, and the immune system
Age‐dependent shifts in microbial communities engender shifts in microbial metabolite profiles. These in turn drive shifts in barrier surface permeability of the gut and brain and induce immune activation. When paired with preexisting age‐related chronic inflammation this increases the risk of neuroinflammation and neurodegenerative diseases.

Proteostasis and the gut microbiota play a key role in shaping host physiology. Microbiota‐derived metabolites, vitamins, and RNA modulate host proteostasis. Findings from model systems, including C. elegans, indicate microbes can either stabilize or disrupt host proteostasis.

Investigating transcription factor dynamics in health and disease using FRAP
FRAP analysis of GFP‐tagged transcription factors reveals how molecular mobility and target engagement change in response to drug treatment. By combining live‐cell imaging, quantitative model fitting, and statistical analysis, this approach uncovers transcription factor dynamics linked to disease mechanisms, providing a powerful framework for ...

Microbiome‐blood–brain barrier interactions in aging — mechanisms and therapeutic potential
Aging reshapes the gut microbiome (↓SCFA‐producing commensals; ↑pro‐inflammatory outputs), shifting circulating metabolites (↓SCFAs; ↑LPS, ↑TMAO, ↑PAA) that act at the BBB to increase nonspecific transcytosis, alter transport, and promote astrocyte reactivity, heightening brain vulnerability.

Liver organoids: modelling complexity in homeostasis and disease
Studying liver in vitro has been challenging because simple 2D cell cultures fail to capture liver's cellular and architectural complexity. To bridge this gap, scientists increasingly use organoids, 3D liver models which better mimic liver composition and function. This review examines recent advances in liver organoid complexity and realism, discusses

On the Thermoelectric Effect of Interface Imperfections
Ordinary thermocouples use the well-known Seebeck effect to measure the temperature at the junction of two different conductors. The electromotive force generated by the heat depends on the difference between the respective thermoelectric powers of the contacting metals and the junction temperature.
