Exploiting Device Deformability for Fluid and Particle Manipulation

Small, EarlyView.
Deformable devices enable fluid and particle manipulation modes that are inaccessible to rigid platforms. This review examines soft materials and architectures that translate controlled deformation into microscale fluid operations such as pumping, valving, mixing, and particle handling.

Polysulfide Immobilization and Sulfur Conversion Kinetics Promotion via a Tetrathiafulvalene–Crown Ether COF@Graphene Layer for High‐Rate Lithium–Sulfur Batteries

Small, EarlyView.
A polysulfide‐regulating covalent organic framework (TUS‐44) integrating tetrathiafulvalene and crown‐ether linkers forms an electron‐delocalized, ion‐coordinative network that synergistically mediates Li–S redox chemistry. When interfaced with graphene, the TUS‐44@G layer functions as a catalytic and chemisorptive interface, enabling efficient ...

Podocytes: recent biomolecular developments

Biomolecular Concepts, 2014
Podocytes are postmitotic renal glomerular cells with multiple ramifications that extend from the cell body. Processes departing from a podocyte interdigitate with corresponding projections from neighboring cells and form an intricate web that enwraps ...

Genetic specification of left–right asymmetry in the diaphragm muscles and their motor innervation

eLife, 2017
The diaphragm muscle is essential for breathing in mammals. Its asymmetric elevation during contraction correlates with morphological features suggestive of inherent left–right (L/R) asymmetry.

Mobile electromagnetic levitator for time‐resolved in situ X‐ray diffraction studies of high‐temperature phase transformations

Journal of Synchrotron Radiation, EarlyView.
A mobile electromagnetic levitator combined with time‐resolved synchrotron X‐ray diffraction enables in situ studies of high‐temperature phase transformations without container‐induced contamination and reveals the first direct observation of metastable phase formation in undercooled Fe–Co alloys.In situ observations of high‐temperature transformations,

Normal and Dysregulated Sphingolipid Metabolism: Contributions to Podocyte Injury and Beyond

Cells
Podocyte health is vital for maintaining proper glomerular filtration in the kidney. Interdigitating foot processes from podocytes form slit diaphragms which regulate the filtration of molecules through size and charge selectivity. The abundance of lipid

Computed tomography findings of peritoneal tumour in the absence of primary lesions: preliminary study

Australian Veterinary Journal, EarlyView.
Primary peritoneal tumours are uncommon and include mesothelioma and carcinoma. Mesothelioma identification is challenging, as there are no established rapid diagnostic methods. In the absence of a simple means of diagnosis, evaluation often requires several invasive biopsies, highlighting the need to develop a definitive diagnostic method.

Renal‐vascular axis: unmasking its role in vascular endothelial growth factor‐inhibitor vascular toxicity in cancer patients

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Abstract Vascular toxicity is a growing concern in cancer patients receiving vascular endothelial growth factor inhibitor (VEGFi) therapy, posing a significant threat to patient prognosis. While the primary mechanism of VEGFi‐induced vascular toxicity is linked to redox‐sensitive reactions that disrupt vascular tone, leading to hypertension and ...

Inhibitory Effects of Robo2 on Nephrin: A Crosstalk between Positive and Negative Signals Regulating Podocyte Structure

Cell Reports, 2012
Robo2 is the cell surface receptor for the repulsive guidance cue Slit and is involved in axon guidance and neuronal migration. Nephrin is a podocyte slit-diaphragm protein that functions in the kidney glomerular filtration barrier.

Giants in the cold: Morphological evidence for vascular heat retention in the viscera but not the skeletal muscle of the basking shark (Cetorhinus maximus)

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Fewer than 50 of the over 30,000 extant species of fishes have developed anatomical specializations facilitating endothermy in specific body regions. The plankton‐feeding basking shark (Cetorhinus maximus), traditionally classified as an ectotherm, was recently shown to have regionally endothermic traits such as centralized red muscle (RM ...
