Ion beam sputter-etched ventricular catheter for hydrocephalus shunt [PDF]

open access: yes, 1983
A cerebrospinal fluid shunt in the form of a ventricular catheter for controlling the condition of hydrocephalus by relieving the excessive cerebrospinal fluid pressure is described.

Modeling the Effects of Drug Binding on the Dynamic Instability of Microtubules

open access: yes, 2011
We propose a stochastic model that accounts for the growth, catastrophe and rescue processes of steady state microtubules assembled from MAP-free tubulin.

Role of Tunneling Nanotubes in Arachidonic Acid Transfer and Macrophage Function Reprogramming in Intrahepatic Cholangiocarcinoma

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Tunneling nanotubes facilitate the transfer of long‐chain fatty acids, primarily arachidonic acid, from tumor cells to macrophages, leading to lipid accumulation and activation of the PI3K‐Akt pathway. This drives a shift from the anti‐tumor CD5L⁺ phenotype to a pro‐tumor TREM2⁺ phenotype.

Revisiting the microtubule based quantum models of mind: tubulin bound GTP cannot pump microtubule coherence or provide energy for alpha <-> beta computation in stable microtubules [PDF]

open access: yes, 2003
The current paper investigates the biological models of stable brain microtubules as quantum or classical computers whose function is based on electron hopping associated with kinking of the tubulin dimer. Hameroff (1998a, 1998b, 2003a, 2003b), Tuszynski

ATF3 Deficiency Exacerbates Ageing‐Induced Atherosclerosis and Clinical Intervention Strategy

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Targeting ATF3 with terazosin to against VSMC Senescence and atherosclerosis. TZ reduces the binding affinity of YTHDF2 to Atf3 mRNA, while enhancing mRNA stability. ATF3 promotes Atg7 transcription, enhancing autophagy. ATG7 binds to ATF3 in the cytoplasm, facilitating ATF3 translocation to the nucleus and establishing positive feedback. By modulating

PFKFB2‐Driven Glycolysis Promotes Dendritic Cell Maturation and Exacerbates Acute Lung Injury

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Paraquat (PQ) or lipopolysaccharide (LPS) exposure activates the HIF‐1α–PFKFB2 pathway, driving glycolysis in dendritic cells (DCs). This metabolic shift enhances DC maturation and immune activation, exacerbating acute lung injury (ALI). This study demonstrates that PFKFB2‐driven glycolytic reprogramming in DCs plays a critical role in the pathogenesis

Regenerative Hair Pigmentation via Skin Organoids: Adaptive Patterning Mediated by Collagen VI and Semaphorin 3C

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
The release of COL6A3 by fibroblasts is sensed by the CD44 receptor on melanocytes, activating glutathione (GSH) metabolism and increasing melanocyte survival during skin organoid culture. SEMA3C released by bulge cells binds to the NRP1 receptor on melanocytes, regulating microtubule stability and promoting melanocyte recruitment and function during ...

Physiological pH Transition‐Driven Protein Corona Dynamics Regulate Cellular Uptake and Inflammatory Responses of Silica Nanoparticles

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Physiological pH transitions modulate protein corona dynamics on nanoparticles, altering their cellular uptake and inflammatory responses. Acidic pHs enhance protein adsorption, induce structural changes, and promote cellular uptake. Simultaneously, inflammatory responses are reduced due to altered protein composition, including decreased ...
