Quantum Decoherence of Nitrogen‐Vacancy Spin Ensembles in a Nitrogen Spin Bath in Diamond Under Dynamical Decoupling

Advanced Optical Materials, EarlyView.
Combining high‐order cluster‐correlation expansion with experiment, it is revealed that P1‐driven NV decoherence under dynamical decoupling deviates from semi‐classical scaling laws. The coherence‐time exponent depends on pulse number and bath conditions, demonstrating the necessity of a full quantum bath description.

Sleep Alters the Velocity of Physiological Brain Pulsations in Humans

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Sleep alters I/CSF oscillatory flow, driven by increased respiratory (29%) and vasomotor pulsation (21%) velocities, while cardiovascular pulsations decreased by (22%). Velocity is quantified using optical flow analysis of MREG data. Spectral power increases alongside these pulsations (spatial correlation, r = 0.35 and r = 0.39, respectively ...

CDK4/6 Inhibition Induces CD8+ T Cell Antitumor Immunity via MIF‐Induced Functional Orchestration of Tumor‐Associated Macrophages

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
CDK4/6 inhibition promotes CD8+ T cell expansion through tumor‐macrophage crosstalk by activating HIF‐1α and enhancing MIF‐CD44/CD74 signaling. This reprograms TAMs to boost MHC‐I antigen presentation, and CDK4/6 inhibitor‐trained M1 TAM supernatant therapy synergizes with low‐dose PD‐1 blockade to restore antitumor immunity.

Pathogenic Role of FGFR3 Autoantibodies in Small Fiber Neuropathy

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Autoantibodies against fibroblast growth factor receptor 3 (FGFR3) are identified as pathogenic drivers of pain in small fiber neuropathy. By binding to sensory neurons in dorsal root ganglia, FGFR3 autoantibodies activate MAPK signaling and induce hyperexcitability and mechanical hypersensitivity, establishing FGFR3 autoantibodies as a therapeutic ...

“I think we don't have a really good way to talk about intelligibility”: An interview with John Levis

Ilha do Desterro
In his influential paper, John Levis (2005) argued that pronunciation teaching is influenced by two conflicting ideologies: the nativeness principle, which suggests learners should strive to sound like native speakers, and the intelligibility principle,
