Extracting impedance changes from a frequency multiplexed signal during neural activity in sciatic nerve of rat: preliminary study in-vitro [PDF]

, 2019
Objective: Establish suitable frequency spacing and demodulation steps to use when extracting impedance changes from frequency division multiplexed (FDM) carrier signals in peripheral nerve. Approach: Experiments were performed in-vitro on cadavers immediately following euthanasia.

Eosinophils‐Induced Lumican Secretion by Synovial Fibroblasts Alleviates Cartilage Degradation via the TGF‐β Pathway Mediated by Anxa1 Binding

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Eosinophils play a crucial role in the progression of temporomandibular joint osteoarthritis (TMJOA). This study demonstrates that eosinophils, induced by OVA/IL‐5, promote Lumican secretion in the synovium, which binds to Annexin A1 in chondrocytes, inhibiting transforming growth factor β2 and Smad2/3 phosphorylation.

MTCH2 Suppresses Thermogenesis by Regulating Autophagy in Adipose Tissue

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study demonstrates that MTCH2 acts as an evolutionarily conserved regulator of energy homeostasis across Drosophila, rodents, and humans. Adipose‐specific MTCH2 ablation enhances brown/beige adipose thermogenesis through Bcl‐2‐dependent autophagy, promoting energy expenditure and counteracting obesity‐associated metabolic disorders. These findings

Passive Scalar Evolution in Peripheral Region [PDF]

, 2003
We consider evolution of a passive scalar (concentration of pollutants or temperature) in a chaotic (turbulent) flow. A universal asymptotic behavior of the passive scalar decay (homogenization) related to peripheral regions (near walls) is established.

Are Passive Spiral Galaxies Truly "Passive" and "Spiral"? : Near-Infrared Perspective [PDF]

Mon.Not.Roy.Astron.Soc. 352 (2004) 815, 2004
Passive spiral galaxies -- unusual galaxies with spiral morphology without any sign of on-going star formation -- have recently been discovered to exist preferentially in cluster infalling regions (at about the virial radius, or at a local galaxy density of $\sim 1$ Mpc$^{-2}$). The discovery directly connects the passive spiral galaxies to the cluster

The velar chord and dynamic integration of the gular valve in crocodylians

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Crocodilians have a unique gular valve that forms a seal between the oral cavity and the pharynx. The gular valve has traditionally been treated as two parts: a mobile ventral flap associated with the tongue and a fixed dorsal velum palatini. This work describes a connective tissue band, the velar chord, which functionally integrates the two parts of ...

Role of STING Deficiency in Amelioration of Mouse Models of Lupus and Atherosclerosis

Arthritis &Rheumatology, EarlyView.
Objective Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a systemic autoimmune syndrome characterized by autoreactive responses to nucleic acids, dysregulation of the type I interferon (IFN‐I) pathway, and accelerated atherosclerosis. The stimulator of IFN genes (STING), a cytosolic DNA sensor, has pathogenic implications in various inflammatory diseases ...

Hyperbaric Oxygen Regulates Tumor pH to Boost Copper‐Doped Hydroxyethyl Starch Conjugate Nanoparticles Against Cancer Stem Cells

Exploration, EarlyView.
Hypoxia and acidic microenvironments are characteristic features of solid tumors, driving tumor growth, drug resistance, and metastasis. To address these issues, we combined hyperbaric oxygen therapy with rational designed hydroxyethyl starch‐doxorubicin‐copper nanoparticles to modulate the acidic microenvironment of tumors while enhancing the efficacy
