Mechanosensitive Piezo1/Osteocalcin/Irisin Axis Protects Against Disuse‐Induced Muscle Atrophy

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Mechanical unloading suppresses bone Piezo1 expression, which reduces circulating undercarboxylated osteocalcin (unOCN). unOCN reduction subsequently exacerbates IMM‐induced Fndc5/Irisin decrease and drives severe muscle atrophy. Bone Piezo1 activation or exogenous osteocalcin/Irisin ameliorate muscle atrophy, while muscle‐specific Gprc6a or Fndc5 ...

Role of PINCH during early Xenopus embryogenesis [PDF]

, 2012
In the Xenopus embryo, cell rearrangements during early development require the dynamic modulation of adhesion. Cells primarily use the integrin family of transmembrane receptors for attachment to and interpretation of the extracellular environment ...

Giant Conductivity Modulation and Chemical Neuromodulation via Proton‐Electron Coupling in a Hydrogen‐Bonded Coordination Polymer

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A “de‐doping” strategy positions mixed protonic–electronic conductors (MPECs) as adaptive neuromorphic platforms with dynamically tunable transport. Co‐BAND achieves giant conductivity modulation (>106) and chemically tunable synaptic plasticity. Analogous to biological neuromodulation, solvent vapors dynamically reprogram the device's learning rules ...

Resource Allocation for Pinching-Antenna Systems: State-of-the-Art, Key Techniques and Open Issues

CoRR
Pinching antennas have emerged as a promising technology for reconfiguring wireless propagation environments, particularly in high-frequency communication systems operating in the millimeter-wave and terahertz bands. By enabling dynamic activation at arbitrary positions along a dielectric waveguide, pinching antennas offer unprecedented channel ...
