arXiv, 2020 Schr\"{o}dinger's Cat was proposed by Erwin Schr\"{o}dinger, the infamous thought experiment in which a cat in a box was both alive and dead simultaneously illustrating a quantum phenomenon known as superposition. In 2013, Yakir Aharonov and his co-authors conceived of an experiment suggesting that a particle can be separated from its property.

New J. Phys. 15, 113015 (2013), 2012 In this paper we present a quantum Cheshire Cat. In a pre- and post-selected experiment we find the Cat in one place, and its grin in another. The Cat is a photon, while the grin is its circular polarization.

Population dynamics of Schrödinger cats
SciPost PhysicsWe demonstrate an exact equivalence between classical population dynamics and Lindbladian evolution admitting a dark state and obeying a set of certain local symmetries. We then introduce quantum population dynamics as models in which this local symmetry

On the Topological Complexity of Maps [PDF]
arXiv, 2020 We define and develop a homotopy invariant notion for the topological complexity of a map $f:X \to Y$, denoted TC($f$), that interacts with TC($X$) and TC($Y$) in the same way cat($f$) interacts with cat($X$) and cat($Y$). Furthermore, TC($f$) and cat($f$) satisfy the same inequalities as TC($X$) and cat($X$).

Bilirubin Targeting WNK1 to Alleviate NLRP3‐Mediated Neuroinflammation
Advanced Science, EarlyView.At physiological concentrations, bilirubin binds to the kinase domain of WNK1, thereby augmenting its activity and facilitating the phosphorylation of downstream SPAK/OSR1. This phosphorylation inhibits KCC2 activity, leading to elevate intracellular chloride levels in neurons.

Closed subsets of a CAT(0) 2-complex are intrinsically CAT(0) [PDF]
Algebr. Geom. Topol. 21 (2021) 1723-1744, 2019 Let k be at most 0, and let X be a locally-finite CAT(k) polyhedral 2-complex X, each face with constant curvature k. Let E be a closed, rectifiably-connected subset of X with trivial first singular homology. We show that E, under the induced path metric, is a complete CAT(k) space.

Advanced Science, EarlyView.A new amphipathic molecule, S416 is discovered, that locks the SARS‐CoV‐2 spike protein in its closed state, blocking viral entry. S416 acts as a molecular bolt, binding six sites: three between adjacent RBDs and three connecting NTDs to RBDs. This dual‐locking mechanism stiffens the spike structure and reduces its flexibility.

Advanced Science, EarlyView.Under cold stress, MdDSK2a‐like is degraded via the 26S proteasome pathway, thereby alleviating the degradation of MdMTA induced by the 26S proteasome and autophagy pathways mediated by MdDSK2a‐like. The accumulated MdMTA increases the m6A levels of cold‐responsive genes, thereby contributing to increased ROS detoxification, deposition of cell wall, as
