Morphometrics Reveals Complex and Heritable Apple Leaf Shapes

bioRxiv, 2017
Apple (Malus spp.) is a widely grown and valuable fruit crop. Leaf shape and size are important for flowering in apple and may also be early indicators for other agriculturally valuable traits.

Immunomodulatory Hydrogel Coating with SeNPs and Lithium Silicate Synergistically Promotes Osseointegration and Prevents Infection on Titanium Implants

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study introduces a multifunctional hydrogel coating (Lap‐CMCSMA/GelMA@SeNPs) that scavenges ROS, modulates immune responses, and shows strong antibacterial activity. It effectively restores the peri‐implant microenvironment. The coating exhibits excellent biocompatibility and promotes osteogenic differentiation.

Astrocytic PCBP1 Suppresses Ferroptosis to Restore Glutamatergic Homeostasis and Mitigate Stress‐Induced Depression in Male Mice

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study demonstrates that polyC‐RNA‐binding protein 1 (PCBP1) in ventral hippocampal astrocytes modulates depressive‐like behaviors by regulating glutathione peroxidase 4‐mediated ferroptosis and synaptic glutamatergic transmission. PCBP1 overexpression intervention in the chronic unpredictable mild stress model rescues behavioral deficits ...

Material‐Induced Nuclear Deformation Controls Chromatin Architecture in Adipose Stem Cells

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Tuning cell and cytoskeleton mechanics modulated nuclear shape and heterochromatin organization in ASCs. Distinct cytoskeletal architectures induced nuclear morphologies from oblate to prolate ellipsoids. Large elongated cells with a structured actin cap exhibited high nuclear strain, driving nuclear envelope deformation and heterochromatin ...

Stepwise Regulation of Cellular Oxidative Stress via Conductive‐Piezoelectric Integrated Microstructured Conduits for Enhanced Nerve Regeneration

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study presents a conductive‐piezoelectric integrated microstructured conduit for peripheral nerve regeneration. The conduit combines reduced graphene oxide with a piezoelectric nanofiber membrane, enhancing nerve repair through physical guidance, oxidative stress inhibition, and ultrasound‐activated electrical stimulation.
