Investigation of Passive Controlled Post-Tensioning System on the Structural Behaviour of Precast Reinforced Concrete Beam–Column Connections

Buildings
Precast structures are widely used in many parts of the world. This construction technique is more commonly preferred for low-rise industrial buildings than multi-story structures. The most commonly used column–beam connection in precast buildings is the

Evaluation of Web Shear Design Procedures for Precast Prestressed Hollow Core Slabs

Buildings, 2022
Precast, prestressed hollow core slabs (HCS) are commonly used by the construction industry for floor and roof systems worldwide. Generally, the web shear strength governs the shear design of such members.

A Retinal Matrix Stiffening Model Reveals FAK‐Dependent Mechanotransduction in Pericytes Underlies Vascular Destabilization

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
In this study, we show that retinal matrix stiffness is increased in diabetic mice. Using engineered human vascular models with controlled matrix stiffness, we demonstrate that stiffening activates focal adhesion kinase (FAK) signaling in pericytes, suppresses Notch signaling, and disrupts vascular morphology.

Molecular Editing Reveals a Bilobalide Chemotype that Attenuates Prolyl Endopeptidase (PREP)‐Linked Neuroinflammation

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Molecular editing of bilobalide uncovers BB56, a PREP‐engaging chemotype with enhanced anti‐inflammatory activity in microglia. Integrated CETSA‐MS, SAR, and pathway analyses link BB56 to attenuation of p38 MAPK/NF‐κB and NLRP3‐associated inflammatory signaling, highlighting bilobalide editing as a strategy for developing neuroinflammation‐modulating ...

Experimental Research on Interfacial Bonding Strength between Vertical Cast-In-Situ Joint and Precast Concrete Walls

Crystals, 2021
In the monolithic precast concrete shear-wall structure, the bonding property of cast-in-situ joints to precast concrete walls is important to ensure the entire structural performance.

An Engineered HR1‐Stem Helix‐HR2 Trimeric Platform for Developing Broad‐Spectrum Coronavirus Vaccines

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Sun et al. report a self‐assembling trimeric subunit vaccine platform termed RHS, which integrates the JN.1 receptor‐binding domain (RBD) with the heptad repeat 1 (HR1), stem helix (SH), and heptad repeat 2 (HR2) regions. The SARS‐CoV‐2 RHS vaccine elicits variant‐reactive RBD‐specific antibodies and cross‐reactive SH‐specific antibodies against ...

Single‐Molecule Imaging of Endogenous RNA Using a Miniaturized and Circularly Permuted CRISPR‐Cas13 Degron‐Masking System CDegSR

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
CDegSR, a new tool for imaging RNA at single molecule level in living cells was developed by researchers. Background noise was eliminated by protein engineering and making it degrade when not bound to its target. This allowed individual RNA molecules to be clearly imaged and tracked.

Asymmetric Structure‐Driven Functional Synergy: A Multistimuli‐Activated Janus Nanomotor for Self‐Amplifying NO Cascade Therapy

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
The Janus nanomotors leverage an “asymmetric structure‐driven functional synergy” strategy to orchestrate spatiotemporally coordinated catalytic functions, in situ self‐amplifying NO generation, and deep tumor penetration, thereby enabling controllable, sustained, and uniform NO generation within the tumor microenvironment.

SPRED2 Negatively Regulates CD8+ T Cell‐Mediated Antitumor Immunity in Breast Cancer

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Sprouty‑related EVH1 domain containing 2 (SPRED2) restrains Ras/Raf/ERK signaling in CD8+ T cells. Host SPRED2 deficiency enhances T‐cell survival, cytotoxicity, and memory‐like phenotypes, reducing primary tumor growth and endpoint lung metastatic burden in breast cancer models.
