Théophile Gautier’s fantastical smile: humour, incongruity and reflexivity
, 2013 The aim of this article is to analyse the relationship between humour and the Fantastic in Théophile Gautier’s fantastic short stories. Humorous tales such as “La Cafetière”, “Omphale” or “Le Pied de momie” as well as more serious stories like “Avatar”, “

'Only joking' Negotiating offensive humour in interaction
In this special issue, we view ‘offensive humour’ as a purposefully broad, catch-all category that includes teasing, sarcasm, put downs and jocular insults (e.g., Dynel & Sinkeviciute 2021).

Where Angels Fear to Tread: Communication Strategies in an Intercultural Family
, 2014 The paper discusses the differences in communication strategies used by members of intercultural families, which include: the degree of explicitness that is largely dependent on whether the communicator belongs to a high-context or a low-context culture;

Temporal Interference Stimulation Enhances Neural Regeneration
Advanced Science, EarlyView.Temporal interference (TI) stimulation is proposed as a non‐invasive approach to enhance neural regeneration in the deep brain. Theta‐band TI modulation selectively promotes neural progenitor cell differentiation in vitro and augments hippocampal neurogenesis in amouse model of Alzheimer's disease‐like amyloidosis.

Advanced Science, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Healthy pelvic floor muscles (PFMs) are essential for proper pelvic floor function. The biggest risk factor for PFM dysfunction is injury sustained during vaginal childbirth, yet the factors that facilitate or impair PFM recovery from birth injury remain unknown.

Advanced Science, EarlyView.High glucose triggers corneal endothelial dysfunction by impairing FOXO1‐mediated ITPR1 transcription, leading to disrupted mitochondria‐associated membrane (MAM) integrity and defective ER‐to‐mitochondria Ca2+ transfer. This study develops an innovative viscous DES‐AAV‐Foxo1 delivery system with enhanced transfection efficiency. This non‐invasive gene

Advanced Science, EarlyView.SSR4, a TRAP component induced in B cells, governs BAFFR N‐glycosylation via DDOST to sustain NF‐κB signaling, B‐cell differentiation, and TLS maturation. Its loss impairs anti‐tumor immunity, while overexpression improves antibody glycosylation and ADCC, revealing a critical regulator for cancer immunotherapy.

Advanced Science, EarlyView.Low‐level ambient benzene exposure is associated with increased risks of multiple brain disorders in urban adults. Genetic susceptibility modifies these associations, while plasma proteomics points to potential biological pathways linking benzene exposure to adverse brain health.

Advanced Science, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Vascularization remains a major obstacle in tissue engineering. Here, we introduce a bioprinting strategy to generate centimeter‐scale, self‐organizing “mother vessel” constructs from iPSC‐derived hiMPCs. By optimizing bioink composition, printing was accomplished in a single‐step approach. Within one week, hiMPCs differentiated into both CD31+
