Atomic Force Microscopy Reveals Differences In Mechanical Properties Linked To Cortical Structure In Mouse And Human Oocytes

open access: yesSmall, EarlyView.
Using Atomic Force Microscopy, the link between oocyte mechanical properties and actin cortex organization is investigated. In mouse oocytes, a thin actin cortex results in stiffer oocytes, while a thicker cortex leads to softer ones. Maternal age affects oocyte mechanics by altering cortex structure.

Near‐Infrared Fluorescent Single‐Walled Carbon Nanotubes for Biosensing

open access: yesSmall, EarlyView.
Near‐infrared fluorescent single‐walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) stand out as versatile biosensors due to their spectral overlap with the biological transparency window, surface‐sensitive fluorescence emission, and chemical modularity. This review offers a concise guide to understanding the photophysics of SWCNTs, various functionalization strategies,

Treponema pallidum Protein Tp0136 Induces Spheroidization of Vascular Endothelial Cells, Resulting in Widened Intercellular Junctions and Enhanced Vascular Permeability

open access: yesSmall Science, EarlyView.
Treponema pallidum protein Tp0136 enhances vascular permeability by upregulating CSRP1, which induces MYO10 exon 19 skipping, reducing MYO10 expression and triggering endothelial spheroidization. This study reveals a novel RNA splicing‐mediated dissemination mechanism, proposing CSRP1/MYO10 as therapeutic targets to limit bacterial dissemination in ...

Autonomous Changes in Polymer Materials Driven by Chemical Fuels

open access: yesChemSystemsChem, EarlyView.
Inspired by out‐of‐equilibrium reaction networks in biochemical systems, chemical fuel reactions have been developed that impart time‐dependent properties to polymer materials. This review describes recent advances in the development of materials exhibiting transient changes in phase, mechanical properties, swelling, self‐healing, and self‐assembly ...

Effect of NF‐κB on Myosin Heavy Chain Content and Muscle Atrophy After Laryngeal Muscle Denervation

open access: yesWorld Journal of Otorhinolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective To investigate the role of NF‐κB in regulating myosin heavy chain (MyHC) content and muscle atrophy following laryngeal muscle denervation. Methods Rats were divided into five groups: (1) recurrent laryngeal nerve injury (RLNI), (2) RLNI with NF‐κB inhibition, (3) sham operation, (4) sham operation with injection, and (5) blank ...
