Scattering of non-uniform incident fields by long cylinders [PDF]

open access: yes, 2003
Copyright University of BremenWe investigate experimentally far-field scattering from cylinders with illumination non-uniform along the axis of the cylinder. Scattered intensity as a function of angle in two orthogonal directions is examined.

Neural Patterns of Social Pain in the Brain‐Wide Representations Across Social Contexts

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Empathy arises from both physiological and social pain, yet their shared and context‐specific neural mechanisms remain unclear. Combining fMRI and multivariate pattern analysis, this study decodes overlapping empathy networks and distinct representations for social exclusion versus separation.

PRMT1‐Mediated SWI/SNF Complex Recruitment via SMARCC1 Drives IGF2BP2 Transcription to Enhance Carboplatin Resistance in Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
PRMT1 drives carboplatin resistance and tumor progression in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) through a novel, methyltransferase‐independent mechanism. It recruits the SWI/SNF complex to activate IGF2BP2, promoting tumor growth and carboplatin resistance. PBX2 upregulates PRMT1, reinforcing this pathway. This study uncovers a non‐catalytic

Accurate and Noninvasive Dysphagia Assessment via a Soft High‐Density sEMG Electrode Array Conformal to the Submental and Infrahyoid Muscles

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
A stretchable, breathable, large‐area high‐density sEMG (HD‐sEMG) electrode array is reported, which enables seamless integration to the complex surface of the submental and infrahyoid muscles to detect high‐fidelity HD‐sEMG signals during swallowing.

Timeline of hypoglossal motor neuron death and intrinsic tongue muscle denervation in high-copy number SOD1G93A mice

open access: yesFrontiers in Neurology
In amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) postmortem tissue and the SOD1 mouse model at mid-disease, death of hypoglossal motor neurons (XII MNs) is evident. These XII MNs innervate the intrinsic and extrinsic tongue muscles, and despite their importance in
