Targeting β2‐Adrenergic Receptor Stability With Lycorine Reveals a Host‐Directed Pathway for Antiviral Defense Against Poxviruses

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Chronic stress drives autophagy‐mediated β2‐AR degradation, impairing antiviral immunity and promoting poxvirus lethality. Lycorine directly stabilizes β2‐AR to restore host defense, suppress excessive inflammation and improve survival. ABSTRACT Psychological stress is a pervasive yet poorly understood modulator of infectious disease outcomes. Here, we

Ouverture: Connais-toi toi-même

HYBRIDA, 2021
"Comme Barthes qui pensait que la littérature devait céder la place à l’auto-écriture de tous, je pense que tout le monde devrait faire la même chose : raconter sa vie. Connais-toi toi-même. Mets-toi en forme. Mets-toi en ordre". Dustan, Guillaume (1999). Nicolas Pages (p. 400). Balland.   Guillaume Dustan et sa particulière vision de la littérature

Synergistic Regulation of Deep‐Cycling‐Induced Zn Pulverization and Resting Galvanic Corrosion in Practical Lean Zinc Anodes

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Benzotriazole (BTA) regulates Zn reduction kinetics and suppresses galvanic corrosion, simultaneously mitigating Zn pulverization during cycling and self‐corrosion during storage, thereby enabling lean Zn anodes with enhanced cycling stability and extended calendar life.

Interactive Prompt‐Guided Robotic Grasping for Arbitrary Objects Based on Promptable Segment Anything Model and Force‐Closure Analysis

Advanced Intelligent Systems, Volume 7, Issue 3, March 2025.
A laser pointer‐guided robotic grasping method for arbitrary objects based on promptable segment anything model and force‐closure analysis is presented. Grasp generation methods based on force‐closure analysis can calculate the optimal grasps for objects through their appearances. However, the limited visual perception ability makes robots difficult to

Haptic In‐Sensor Computing Device Based on CNT/PDMS Nanocomposite Physical Reservoir

Advanced Intelligent Systems, Volume 7, Issue 3, March 2025.
Using a porous carbon nanotube‐polydimethylsiloxane nanocomposite, a sensor array integrated with a physical reservoir computing paradigm capable of in‐sensor computing is demonstrated. The device is able to classify between nine objects with an accuracy above 80%, opening the possibility for low‐power sensing/computing for future robotics.

Characterization and Selection of Contractile Actuators for Soft Robotics Operating in the Quasistatic Regime

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
We developed methods to characterize soft contractile actuators using force–displacement measurements in the passive state and the total force in the active state and define the operational range of thermal, electrothermal, and pneumatic muscles. A graphical method enables the selection of an actuator based on the required mechanical force–displacement
