Colloidal Heterostructures Enable Interfacial Transport of Immiscible Molecules in Printable Organohydrogels

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Multiphase printable organohydrogels with tunable microstructures are developed to control molecular transport pathways for immiscible cargo. The tortuosity and domain size of the colloidal phases are tuned by adjusting temperature and shear during processing, which enables the tailoring of diffusion kinetics due to different transport pathways.

Soft Robotic Snake with Tunable Undulatory Gait for Efficient Underwater Locomotion

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
This study designs an underwater soft snake robot using 3D‐printed soft actuators, controlled by specific signals to generate sinusoidal undulation. Results show a positive correlation between speed and swing amplitude, with optimal performance at 2/3π phase offset, PLA tail, 1.2 voltage growth rate, and 6s undulation period achieving a maximum speed ...

Integrin α8‐Mediated Pericyte Morphogenesis Controls Blood‐Brain Barrier Integrity

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study highlights that ITGA8 impacts pericyte morphology and function, both crucial for BBB integrity, via RhoA/ROCK signaling, thus influencing TGF‐β1 activation through cytoskeletal tension and ECM interactions. Notably, in post‐ischemic recovery models, ITGA8 deficiency exacerbates vascular dysfunction by impairing pericyte‐mediated BBB ...

Investigation and Analysis of the Present Teaching Situation of College Teachers From the Perspective of the Scholarship Theory of Teaching and Learning

Proceedings of the 4th International Conference on Contemporary Education, Social Sciences and Humanities (ICCESSH 2019), 2019
A self-designed questionnaire was used to investigate 327 teachers in 67 universities in China. The results show that 86.43% of the teachers surveyed had 7-12 teaching hours per week or more; 58.1% of the teachers believe that most of their colleagues ...

Geometrically Encoded Positioning of Introns, Intergenic Segments, and Exons in the Human Genome

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study introduces a new hypothesis: exons, introns, and intergenic segments are non‐random projections of the functional layers of 3D structure of chromatin packing domains. Evidence is presented that this “geometric code” may encode volumetric structure, reconciling epigenetic patterns, correlates with oncogenic mutations, acting as a potential ...

Shannon Entropy of Gray Matter Eigenmodes: A Novel Biomarker for Alzheimer's Disease and Heterogeneous MCI Trajectories

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Entropy derived from gray matter eigenmodes captures cortical disorganization in Alzheimer's disease. Using multimodal MRI and amyloid‐PET data, this novel structure–function coupling biomarker enables accurate classification of clinical stages, predicts Aβ burden, and stratifies mild cognitive impairment subtypes.
