The primary cilium is a gravity sensor

open access: yesThe FASEB Journal, 2008
Life on Earth evolved in a gravitational field that shows very small cyclic changes in magnitude due to the moon, the same changes that contribute to tides. While there is evidence that animal cells can detect and respond to dramatic changes in gravitational force, such as microgravity, there is little if any evidence that animal cells can directly ...

Exploring the Use and Impact of Composite Materials in Robotics: A Systematic Review

open access: yesJournal of Field Robotics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Lightweight and high‐strength materials are important in robotics, as structural design impacts efficiency, payload capacity, and energy consumption. Composite materials, with their superior stiffness‐to‐weight ratios and multifunctional properties, offer clear advantages over conventional metals and polymers.

Camels as a Climate‐Resilient Linchpin for Sustainable Development in Global Drylands

open access: yesSustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Camels represent a significant, yet underutilized, asset for advancing integrated sustainable development in the world's expanding drylands. Previous reviews have examined camels' physiology, milk composition, or pastoral systems in isolation; this review examines their potential as a climate‐resilient linchpin for food systems by synthesizing

The miR‐669a‐5p/G3BP/HDAC6/AKAP12 Axis Regulates Primary Cilia Length

open access: yesAdvanced Science
Primary cilia are conserved organelles in most mammalian cells, acting as “antennae” to sense external signals. Maintaining a physiological cilium length is required for cilium function.

Exploiting Device Deformability for Fluid and Particle Manipulation

open access: yesSmall, EarlyView.
Deformable devices enable fluid and particle manipulation modes that are inaccessible to rigid platforms. This review examines soft materials and architectures that translate controlled deformation into microscale fluid operations such as pumping, valving, mixing, and particle handling.

“Excluded Participation”: Some Observations of Non‐Reciprocal Interaction in a Danish Fifth Grade Classroom

open access: yesSymbolic Interaction, EarlyView.
This article introduces the concept of excluded participation to examine how inclusion and exclusion are negotiated in real time within a Danish fifth‐grade classroom. Using a micro‐sociological framework, particularly the work of Erving Goffman, the study focuses on the case of Anders, a student whose participation is symbolically recognized yet ...

A mechanical approach to study the bending of the primary cilium in response to fluid flow [PDF]

open access: yes
The primary cilium, a hair-like projection from the cellular membrane, is involved in fluid flow sensing. Bending the primary cilium is known to trigger several signaling pathways.

“I'm a Good Guy Who Deserves Better, Yet Nobody Wants to Give me Better”: The Accounts of Nice Guys

open access: yesSymbolic Interaction, EarlyView.
Within Western popular culture and online discourse, a “Nice Guy” is someone who enacts niceness for which they believe they are owed, deserving of, or entitled to something in return—especially the romantic or sexual attention of women. In this study, we examine the use of accounts in personal narratives told in an anonymous online discussion forum ...

Obesity and Its Impact on Endoscopic Sinus Surgery Outcomes in Patients With Chronic Rhinosinusitis With Nasal Polyps

open access: yesWorld Journal of Otorhinolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Purpose The rising prevalence of obesity introduces challenges in surgical contexts, including endoscopic sinus surgery (ESS) for chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP). However, the impact of obesity on ESS outcomes remains underexplored. This study aims to evaluate the association between obesity and surgical complexity, operative

Identification and Validation of Biomarkers in Chronic Rhinosinusitis With Nasal Polyps and Study of Their Associated Mechanisms

open access: yesWorld Journal of Otorhinolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Cell senescence (CS) and lipid metabolism (LM) disorders have been reported in chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP). However, the mechanism is still unclear. Methods Data were obtained from public databases; differential expression analysis and machine learning were performed to identify biomarkers and to understand the
