Advanced Science, EarlyView.This study explores the opposing effects of the mGluR2 and mGluR3 receptors on amyloid precursor protein processing. mGluR2 promotes amyloidogenic cleavage, while mGluR3 favors non‐amyloidogenic pathways. Using a brain‐penetrant nanobody as a mGluR2 positive allosteric modulator, the study uncovers how its chronic activation aggravates amyloid‐β burden

A lichen protected by a super-hydrophobic and breathable structure [PDF]
, 2006 A species of lichen, Lecanora conizaeoides, is shown to be super-hydrophobic. It uses a combination of hydrophobic compounds and multi-layered roughness to shed water effectively.

Thermo-responsive liquid marbles [PDF]
Polymer Journal, 2013 Thermo-responsive liquid marbles can be prepared using poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) powder and Na2SO4 aqueous solution, which were transferred to the surface of bulk water containing Na2SO4 aqueous solution. They remained stable at room temperature. When the bulk aqueous solution was cooled, the liquid marbles disintegrated because powder wettability ...

Broadening the semiaquatic scene: Quantification of long bone microanatomy across pinnipeds
The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Abstract Investigations of bone microanatomy are commonly used to explore lifestyle strategies in vertebrates. While distinct microanatomical limb bone features have been established for exclusively aquatic and terrestrial lifestyles, identifying clear patterns for the semiaquatic lifestyle remains more challenging.

Multifunctional Liquid Marble Compound Lenses
ACS Applied Materials & Interfaces, 2019 Mosquito compound eyes are elaborate multifunctional hierarchical structures. The presence of ordered curved features spanning length scales of nanometers to millimeters provides the mosquito eye with a wide field of view, an infinite depth of field, and antifogging properties.

The E3 Ubiquitin Ligase UBE3B Regulates Synaptic Development and Cortical Network Activity
Autism Research, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by impaired communication, abnormal social interactions, and restricted, repetitive behaviors. Pathogenic mutations in UBE3B result in neurodevelopmental disease, including intellectual disability, lack of speech, and ASD.

Electromagnet polarity dependent reversible dynamic behavior of magnetic liquid metal marble
Materials Research Express, 2020 We report reversible dynamic behavior of a magnetic liquid metal marble by changing magnetic field polarity. We coated iron (Fe) particles on the surface of the oxidized liquid metal by HCl-based chemical reaction to make it to be magnetized and to be ...

Self-organization of hydrophobic soil and granular surfaces [PDF]
, 2007 Soil can become extremely water repellent following forest fires or oil spillages, thus preventing penetration of water and increasing runoff and soil erosion. Here the authors show that evaporation of a droplet from the surface of a hydrophobic granular
