Single Fusion Pore Analysis via Single Cell Amperometry Uncovers Impaired Pore Expansion That Restricts Insulin Exocytosis in Human Type 2 Diabetes

Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
The final step in insulin exocytosis from pancreatic beta cells is the formation of the fusion pore. We combined single‐cell amperometry with microsensors and fluorescence microscopy to monitor insulin exocytosis from different perspectives. Our results reveal a link between impaired fusion pore function and diminished insulin secretion, highlighting ...

Remorphable Architectures: Reprogramming Global Bistability through Locally Bistable Metamaterials

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Local bistable reconfiguration in mechanical metamaterials is leveraged in globally bistable architectures to enable in situ reprogrammable transition pathways through state flip of individual building blocks. The local‐to‐global correspondence of instabilities empowers soft robotic systems with on‐demand morphing traits, as well as aerospace ...

Polyhalogenated Carbazole Impairs Dopaminergic Neurons through Dysregulation of Liquid–Liquid Phase Separation in Caenorhabditis elegans

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Polyhalogenated carbazoles (PHCZ), persistent environmental contaminants, preferentially accumulate in neuronal tissues. Studies using Caenorhabditis elegans and human neuronal cell lines reveal that PHCZ induce dopaminergic neurodegeneration by promoting liquid–liquid phase separation of α‐synuclein, reducing condensate fluidity, impairing ...

Growth and Survival Outcomes for Immature Gopher Tortoises in Contrasting Habitats: A Test of Drone‐Based Habitat Assessment

Ecology and Evolution
Juvenile growth rate is a critical demographic parameter, as it shortens the time to maturity and often dictates how long individuals remain vulnerable to predation.

Temporal Stretch‐Induced Nuclear Mechanosensing Coordinates Early Chromatin Accessibility and Genome Protection

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Cyclic stretching of fibroblasts triggers coordinated nuclear mechanosensing events, including calcium ion release, perinuclear actin assembly, emerin translocation, and H3K9me3 loss, increasing chromatin accessibility for specific genes related to mechanotransduction and repair.
