Effects of unilateral sciatic neurectomy on growing rat femur as assessed by peripheral quantitative computed tomography, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and bending test

The Journal of Medical Investigation, 2004
We studied the effects of unilateral sciatic neurectomy (USN) on the development of the femoral shaft in the 30 growing Wistar-derived rats aged 5 weeks. Rats were allocated to three groups. One of these was immediately used for measurements, and the remaining 2 groups underwent USN of internal control.

Engineering Polar Nanoregions in COFs via Controlled Symmetry Breaking Toward Piezocatalysis

Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
Polar nanoregions (PNRs) are engineered within covalent organic frameworks via asymmetric grafting of highly polar polyfluoroalkyl chains, which enables controlled symmetry breaking. These randomly oriented artificial PNRs dynamically respond to mechanical stimuli and impart relaxation behavior to the COFs (TFB‐TAPT‐FA).

A Gut‐Brain Axis Underlying Succinate‐Associated Compulsive‐Like Behavior

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Gut‐derived succinate is associated with an excitatory‐inhibitory imbalance in dmPFC glutamatergic neurons, involving microglial SUCNR1 activation and vagal afferent signaling via upregulated gut 5‐HT4 receptors along the DVC‐CeA‐dmPFC circuit, changes that are linked to excessive compulsive‐like behavior.

Modulation of the TGF‐β/Smad Signaling Pathway by a Bioactive Oxidized Polygonati Rhizoma Polysaccharide Crosslinked Chitosan Hydrogel as Therapeutic Carrier for Parkinson's Disease Treatment

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
An injectable, self‐healing COPRP hydrogel integrates structurally defined oxidized Polygonati rhizoma polysaccharide with carboxymethyl chitosan through dynamic Schiff‐base crosslinking. The bioactive matrix scavenges reactive oxygen species, suppresses neuroinflammation, protects dopaminergic neurons, and supports sustained levodopa release.

Modulation of Presynaptic Inhibitory Retinal Circuits for Retinal Ganglion Cell Neuroprotection in Glaucoma

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Ocular hypertension induces early hyperactivity in inner retinal inhibitory circuitry before substantial retinal ganglion cell loss. Sustained pharmacological inhibition of GABAergic/glycinergic neurotransmission and Vgat‐targeted Lin28 expression suppress this hyperactivity and improve RGC survival without reducing intraocular pressure. These findings

Astrocyte‐Associated ABCA1/APOE Responses Accompany Hippocampal Lipid Remodeling and Ectopic Neuronal Accumulation During Epileptogenesis

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
During kainic acid‐induced epileptogenesis, astrocyte‐associated ATP‐binding cassette transporter A1 (ABCA1) and apolipoprotein E (APOE) responses accompany ectopic neurons and exploratory lipid alterations. In separate cohorts, bexarotene pretreatment and treatment on days 14–21 are associated with fewer ectopic hilar neurons and lower chronic seizure

New Series of Hydrogen-Bonded Liquid Crystal with High Birefringence and Conductivity

Molecules
Liquid crystals with high dielectric anisotropy, low operational thresholds, and significant birefringence (Δn) represent a key focus in soft matter research. This work introduces a novel series of hydrogen-bonded liquid crystals (HBLCs) derived from 4-n-

Sports Activity Recognition Using Textile‐Based Sensor Fusion and Complex‐Valued Residual Convolutional Neural Networks

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
Motion artifacts in electrocardiographic signals, conventionally dismissed as noise, are shown to encode discriminative activity information. A smart t‐shirt fusing textile strain sensors with textile ECG electrodes, processed through a complex‐valued residual network, recognizes 12 sport activities.
