Shared and Unique Neural Codes for Biological Motion Perception in Humans and Macaque Monkeys
Advanced Science, EarlyView.Cross‐species fMRI studies reveal distinct neural mechanisms for biological motion (BM) processing. In humans, the posterior superior temporal sulcus (hpSTS) selectively responds to conspecific BM, while monkeys process BM from both species in the middle temporal area (MT).

Microgravity and evasion of plant innate immunity by human bacterial pathogens
npj Microgravity, 2023 Spaceflight microgravity and modeled-microgravity analogs (MMA) broadly alter gene expression and physiology in both pathogens and plants. Research elucidating plant and bacterial responses to normal gravity or microgravity has shown the involvement of ...

Diamagnetic Levitation Using High-Temperature Superconducting Wires for Microgravity Research and Mitigation in Human Spaceflight Applications [PDF]
arXiv, 2020 A novel use of high temperature superconducting (HTS) electromagnets for human sized microgravity research and mitigation is outlined. Recent advances in HTS technology have resulted in electromagnets that potentially could levitate large diamagnetic targets, such as human organs, for additive manufacturing or entire humans for microgravity training ...

Compact cold atom clock for on-board timebase: tests in reduced gravity [PDF]
Physical Review APPLIED 10, 064007 (2018), 2018 We present a compact atomic clock using cold rubidium atoms based on an isotropic light cooling, a Ramsey microwave interrogation and an absorption detection. Its technology readiness level is suitable to industrial transfer. We use a fibre optical bench, based on a frequency-doubled telecom laser.

Advanced Science, EarlyView.A novel “prof” cocktail therapy is designed. It screens antigens, selects personalized antigen panels, engineers optimized CAR‐Vδ1 T cells, and tests in patient‐derived GBM organoids, offering hope for effective CAR‐T drugs against heterogeneous solid tumors. Abstract Various challenges, including tumor heterogeneity and inadequate T cell infiltration,
