When Cellulose Moves: Smart Sensors and Actuators

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
This review highlights cellulose‐derived soft actuators alongside with cellulose‐based sensors. Emphasis is placed on their integration into multifunctional devices that couple sensing and actuation to mimic natural motion and adaptability. We also discuss the challenges of achieving robust, reversible, and multi‐stimuli‐responsive motion, and outline ...

Adolescent methylphenidate treatment differentially alters adult impulsivity and hyperactivity in the Spontaneously Hypertensive Rat model of ADHD [PDF]

, 2016
Impulsivity and hyperactivity are two facets of attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Impulsivity is expressed as reduced response inhibition capacity, an executive control mechanism that prevents premature execution of an intermittently ...

Parathyroid Gland Carcinoma in a Wistar Rat [PDF]

Veterinary Pathology, 2003
An anaplastic carcinoma was found in one of the two parathyroids of a 2-year-old male Wistar rat, which was sacrificed at the end of a carcinogenicity study. Morphologically, it was characterized by the presence of nodular areas of pleomorphic and dense cells with numerous atypical mitoses and large regions of smaller and dark monomorphic cells devoid

Deficiency of SCAMP5 Triggers Pancreatic β‐Cell Secretory Dysfunction and Apoptosis

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study demonstrates that hyperglycemia in diabetes activates ChREBP, which epigenetically represses SCAMP5 expression in pancreatic β‐cells. This SCAMP5 deficiency impairs insulin secretion by downregulating the calcium channel CaV1.2. Furthermore, reduced SCAMP5 triggers β‐cell apoptosis by stabilizing VDAC1 and enhancing its interaction with Bax,

Targeted Expansion of Treg Cells to Induce Immune Tolerance after Kidney Transplantation

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A dual‐targeting nanoparticle platform that selectively engages graft stromal cells via CD248 receptors while employing kidney‐ specific promoters (NPHS2) to drive localized IL‐ 2/TGF‐βexpression is developed. This approach achieves three therapeutic objectives:1) intragraft Treg polarization without systemic cytokine exposure;2) reduced dependence on ...
