Evidence for cleavage of the metalloprotease Vsm from Vibrio splendidus strain JZ6 by an M20 peptidase (PepT-like protein) at low temperature

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2016
Metalloprotease Vsm is a major extracellular virulence factor of Vibrio splendidus. The toxicity of Vsm from V. splendidus strain JZ6 has been characterized, and production of this virulence factor proved to be temperature-regulated.

Topology‐Enabled Finite‐Band Absorption Framework Based on a Bioinspired Nested Dual‐Loop Architecture

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A nuclear‐pore‐inspired nested dual‐loop architecture redistributes electromagnetic energy through coupled transport, confinement, and dissipation pathways. Integrated with Co/Fe3O4 dual‐magnetic composites and topology optimization, the 11‐mm‐thick absorber delivers continuous 2–40 GHz attenuation, raises finite‐band structural utilization to 82%, and

Atomically Modulating Competing Exchange Interactions in Centrosymmetric Skyrmion Hosts GdRu2X2 (X = Si and Ge)

Advanced Electronic Materials, EarlyView.
Our work bridges the gap between skyrmion discovery and material design by demonstrating how atomic‐scale control of exchange interactions enables tunable skyrmion phase transitions in centrosymmetric magnetic metals. ABSTRACT Magnetic skyrmions are topologically protected spin states that hold promise for shaping the future of electronics.

Inhibition of Vascular Smooth Muscle Growth via Signaling Crosstalk between AMP-Activated Protein Kinase and cAMP-Dependent Protein Kinase

Frontiers in Physiology, 2012
Abnormal vascular smooth muscle (VSM) growth is central in the pathophysiology of vascular disease yet fully effective therapies to curb this growth are lacking.

Dynamic Obstacle Avoidance of Metamorphic Microrobots Using Concentric Sector Navigator

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
Metamorphic magnetic microrobots are navigated using a concentric sector navigator for dynamic obstacle avoidance in both microroller and swarm states. After microroller transport, citrate‐triggered dissolution releases nanoparticles that reassemble into a controllable swarm.

Microstructural Considerations on the Magnetostriction Enhancement in Dy Doped Fe81Al19 Alloys

Advanced Physics Research, EarlyView.
Dy additions induce significant microstructural modifications in Fe–Al alloys, evolving from Dy‐rich agglomerates to columnar grains that promote preferential orientation, particularly along the (200) plane. These changes reduce microstrains and modify crystallite shape, leading to enhanced magnetostriction.

Vascular Smooth Muscle Contractile Function Declines With Age in Skeletal Muscle Feed Arteries

Frontiers in Physiology, 2018
Aging induces a progressive decline in vasoconstrictor responses in central and peripheral arteries. This study investigated the hypothesis that vascular smooth muscle (VSM) contractile function declines with age in soleus muscle feed arteries (SFA ...

NiFe‐NO3 Layered Double Hydroxide as a Novel Anode for Sodium Ion Batteries

Batteries &Supercaps, Volume 8, Issue 3, March 2025.
This study demonstrates, for the first time, the effectiveness of using LDH as an anodic material in SIB. The material is stable and show high specific capacity, the reaction mechanism has been thoroughly investigated and comprehensively described and involves a phase change reaction followed by sodium intercalation.

Agentic Insight Generation in VSM Simulations

CoRR
Extracting actionable insights from complex value stream map simulations can be challenging, time-consuming, and error-prone. Recent advances in large language models offer new avenues to support users with this task. While existing approaches excel at processing raw data to gain information, they are structurally unfit to pick up on subtle situational
