A Biomimetic Interface with High Adhesion, Tailorable Modulus for On-Skin Sensors, and Low-Power Actuators by Song Chen (69646)

“…In addition to the adhesion function, the interface can also help lock the actuator states thanks to the tunable modulus of the interface, which is highly valuable for decreasing the power consumption of the actuator. This work provides a new avenue to address both sensing and actuating bottlenecks by focusing on the interface.…”

The Selective SGLT2 Inhibitor Ipragliflozin Has a Therapeutic Effect on Nonalcoholic Steatohepatitis in Mice by Yasushi Honda (679225)

“…<div><p>Background & Aims</p><p>In recent years, nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) has become a considerable healthcare burden worldwide. Pathogenesis of NASH is associated with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and insulin resistance. …”

Easy-to-Use Osmosis-Based Microfluidic Chip for Protein Crystallization: Application to a Monoclonal Antibody by Sandy Morais (10723660)

“…The water chemical activity fixed by the reservoir makes it possible to modify the volume of the droplets in a controlled way (reduction or increase). Because PDMS is only permeable to water, the imposed water activity therefore increases or decreases the concentration of the solutes present in the droplet and consequently the supersaturation of the solution. …”

Control of the Speed of a Light-Induced Spin Transition through Mesoscale Core-Shell Architecture by Slimani, Ahmed

“…Isothermal relaxation from the optically induced high spin state of the core back to the low spin state and activation energies associated with the transition between these states were measured. The presence of a shell decreases the activation energy, which is associated with the elastic properties of the core. …”

Shortest-Path Network Analysis Is a Useful Approach toward Identifying Genetic Determinants of Longevity by J. R. Managbanag (269125)

“…Here we report that the single-gene deletion strains identified by our shortest-path longevity analysis are significantly enriched for mutations conferring either increased or decreased replicative life span, relative to a randomly selected set of 564 single-gene deletion strains or to the current data set available for the entire haploid deletion collection. …”

The Association between Malaria and Iron Status or Supplementation in Pregnancy: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis by Laura Sangaré (251012)

“…Iron deficiency was associated with a decreased malaria risk in pregnancy only when measured with ferritin. …”

Data_Sheet_1_Microbial Community Response to a Novel Salmon Resource Subsidy.PDF by Courtney E. Larson (8278182)

“…<p>Salmon decomposition is traditionally viewed through the lens of energy and nutrient subsidies, but not as a potential “microbial subsidy.” Microbial communities residing on and within spawning salmon are directly introduced into streams after host death. …”

Image_2_TNAP—a potential cytokine in the cerebral inflammation in spastic cerebral palsy.TIF by Xiao-Kun Wang (5745635)

“…In contrast, compared with the sham rats, the model rats demonstrated a significant increase in osteopontin and proinflammatory biomarkers in both the plasma and cerebral cortex on the ischemic side whereas serum 25 hydroxyvitamin D and IL-10 were significantly decreased. …”
