Volcano: An interactive sword generator [PDF]

, 2015
In this work, we introduce Volcano, a tool for the procedural generation of 3D models of swords. Unlike common procedural content generation tools, it exploits interactive evolution to reduce as much as possible the effort of the users during the ...

IL‐15 Links Muscle–Kidney Crosstalk to Preserving Podocyte Mitochondrial Fusion and Attenuating Diabetic Nephropathy

Journal of Cachexia, Sarcopenia and Muscle, Volume 17, Issue 2, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Objectives High glucose induces mitochondrial dysfunction in podocytes, contributing to the development of diabetic nephropathy (DN). There is increasing evidence that muscles play a protective role by secreting myokines into the kidneys. Here, we investigated how skeletal muscle influences podocyte health via muscle–kidney crosstalk.

Enabling High‐Fidelity Wave‐Particle Interaction Studies: A Novel Filtering for Isolating Whistlers From Spacecraft Noise

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 5, 16 March 2026.
Abstract Resolving the mixture of natural plasma waves and persistent spacecraft interference is a fundamental challenge in space physics, as it obstructs the analysis of wave‐particle interactions and energy transport processes. Traditional signal decomposition methods often fail to adequately separate these components due to their time‐varying ...

Day/night variations of myeloid and lymphoid cell subsets in the murine inguinal lymph node

FEBS Open Bio, Volume 16, Issue 3, Page 487-495, March 2026.
The circadian system is involved in the temporal regulation of the immune system. Our study reveals that two innate immune populations, NKT cells and neutrophils, predominate at the beginning of the day in healthy mice, highlighting how the time of day influences immune responses.

Evaluating the Expressive Range of Super Mario Bros Level Generators

Algorithms
Procedural Content Generation for video games (PCG) is widely used by today’s video game industry to create huge open worlds or enhance replayability. However, there is little scientific evidence that these systems produce high-quality content.

miR‐185‐5p Derived From hUC‐MSC Exosomes via Suspension Culture Under Hypoxic Conditions Promotes Scarless Wound Healing in Mice by Precisely Regulating Collagen I/III Regeneration

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 17, 23 March 2026.
miR‐185‐5p derived from UC‐MSC exosomes via hypoxic suspension culture promotes scarless wound healing in mice by precisely regulating collagen I/III regeneration. Exosomes derived from UC‐MSCs under a three‐dimensional bioreactor and hypoxic conditions were injected into the skin wounds of mice.

Radiographic Assessment of Spinal Degeneration in Vervet Monkeys (Chlorocebus aethiops): Prevalence, Patterns, and Relevance to Primate Aging Models

American Journal of Primatology, Volume 88, Issue 3, March 2026.
Radiographic evaluation of 70 vervet monkeys (Chlorocebus aethiops) maintained under human care revealed a high prevalence of age‐related spinal degeneration. Osteophytes emerged earliest and most prominently in the lumbar region. These region‐specific patterns parallel those reported in other catarrhine primates, supporting C.

Carya luodianensis (Juglandaceae), a New Species From Guizhou Province, Southern China, Revealed by Morphological and Plastid Evidence

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 3, March 2026.
Carya luodianensis (Juglandaceae), a new species, is described and illustrated. We combined morphological characteristics, comparative plastome analyses, and phylogenetic analysis, all of which support the recognition of C. luodianensis as a new species and highlight its evolutionary divergence within Carya. ABSTRACT Carya luodianensis Y.B. Yang & M.T.
