Thermal spin-transfer in Fe-MgO-Fe tunnel junctions
We compute thermal spin transfer torques (TST) in Fe-MgO-Fe tunnel junctions using a first principles wave function-matching method. At room temperature, the TST in a junction with 3 MgO monolayers amounts to 10^-7J/m^2/K, which is estimated to cause ...

Midbrain PAG Astrocytes Modulate Mouse Defensive and Panic‐Like Behaviors
Astrocytes in the midbrain periaqueductal gray (PAG) dynamically encode threat intensity and shape defensive action selection in mice. Real‐time Ca2+ imaging reveals robust astrocytic activation during predator odor and CO2 exposure. Aberrant astrocytic Ca2+ overactivation disrupts goal‐directed escape, biases behavior toward freezing, and induces ...

The Role of Thiosulfate Sulfurtransferase in Oxidative Stress for Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus
BACKGROUND: Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is associated with oxidative stress, leading to insulin resistance. Thiosulfate sulfurtransferase (TST) is mitochondrial enzyme involved in the reaction with cyanide, endogenous hydrogen sulfide (H₂S), and ...

Yang-Baxter deformations and string dualities [PDF]
We further study integrable deformations of the AdS$_5\times$S$^5$ superstring by following the Yang-Baxter sigma model approach with classical $r$-matrices satisfying the classical Yang-Baxter equation (CYBE). Deformed string backgrounds specified by $r$

Gut Bacteria Improve Depressive Symptoms by Degrading Cortisol into Androgen
Chronic stress is an important risk factor for stress‐related disorders such as depression. Stress hormone cortisol is essential for the pathogenesis of stress‐related disorders such as depression. Some gut microbiota degraded cortisol, and improve depressive symptoms.
