BDNF/TrkB Signaling in the Brain–Kidney Axis Under Functional Stress
Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) and its high-affinity receptor tropomyosin receptor kinase B (TrkB) are classically associated with neuroplasticity, but increasing evidence suggests a broader role for BDNF/TrkB signaling in systemic stress ...

CD34+ Progenitors Promote Ageing‐Associated Valve Sclerosis through the PDGFR–JNK–JUNB Pathway
In age‐related aortic valve sclerosis, non‐bone marrow CD34+ progenitor valvular interstitial cells (VICs) undergo transdifferentiation into periostin+ myofibroblast‐like VICs via the PDGFR‐JNK‐JUNB axis, driving leaflet thickening and fibrosis. Ablating non‐bone marrow CD34+ cells attenuates this remodeling.

In stiff extracellular matrix (ECM), integrin αVβ3 transduces mechanical cues of ECM stiffness to promote recycling endosome formation, creating a signaling platform for yin yang 1 (YY1)/p21‐activated kinase 4 (PAK4) binding, but not in soft ECM. Then, this triggers PAK4‐mediated YY1 phosphorylation at S118, subsequent YY1 nuclear translocation and ...

A straightforward method is introduced to produce ion‐gel films with very low surface roughness by employing a solution‐shearing coating process. These ion‐gel films permit the growth of crystalline thin films of various small molecule organic semiconductor molecules directly on top of the ion‐gel layer, thereby enabling “inverted” small molecule ...

Diol Chain‐Length Effects in Adipate and Succinate Polyesters for Thermoplastic Polyurethanes
This study examines 20 aliphatic polyesters as soft segments for thermoplastic polyurethanes (TPU), synthesized from adipic or succinic acid and diols (C2, C3, C4, C5, and C6). A pronounced odd‐even effect shows that even diols crystallize, while odd diols remain amorphous.

Abstract Ardea alba (Linnaeus, 1758) is widely distributed, yet knowledge of its ocular morphology remains limited. This study described the morphometry and morphology of the eyeball and its accessory glands in six specimens using radiography, morphometry, light and scanning electron microscopy, and 3D scanning.
