Correlating Sediment Erosion in Rotary–Stationary Gaps of Francis Turbines with Complex Flow Patterns

open access: yesEnergies
Secondary flows in Francis turbines are induced by the presence of a gap between guide vanes and top–bottom covers and rotating–stationary geometries. The secondary flow developed in the clearance gap of guide vanes induces a leakage vortex that travels ...

Forelimb Motor Learning and Memory Consolidation Drives Distinct Oligodendrocyte Plasticity to Regulate Task‐related Neuronal Activity

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Genetic and chemical tracking of oligodendrogenesis, combining fiber photometric neuronal activity recording, reveals that distinct oligodendrocyte plasticities are adopted during different phases of motor learning to fine‐tune task‐related neuronal activity, with a preferential involvement of oligodendrogenesis suppression and node lengthening (type 2

Microglial Deletion of Hrh4 Alleviates Alzheimer's Disease Pathologies by Enhancing Microglial Phagocytosis of Amyloid‐β and Tau

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Histamine H4 receptor (H4R) antagonist VUF6002 mimics low‐dose X‐ray irradiation in aged Alzheimer's disease (AD) mice, enhancing microglial clearance of amyloid‐beta/hyperphosphorylated tau aggregates and restoring cognition. Microglial H4R deletion activates cAMP/TGF‐β1/Smad3 pathway, enhancing phagocytosis, while TGF‐β receptor 1 deletion abolishes ...
