The researchers have succeeded in demonstrating the influence of a brain region responsible for emotions, the amygdala, on the manifestation of anxiety symptoms by specifically altering the communication between nerve cells.

Traditional genomic profiling and mutation analysis of single cells like Circulating Tumor Cells (CTCs) fails to capture post-translational and functional alterations of proteins, often leading to limited treatment efficacy.

Animal studies and clinical trials suggest that maintenance of gammaaminobutyric acid (GABA)-ergic activity may be crucial in coping with stressful conditions, anxiety and mood disorders. Drugs highly efficient in promoting anxiolysis were shown to activate this system, particularly via the α2-subunit of type A receptors (GABAA α2).

Cardiac hypertrophy is characterized by remodeling of the myocardium, which involves alterations in the ECM (extracellular matrix) and cardiomyocyte structure. These alterations critically contribute to impaired contractility and relaxation, ultimately leading to heart failure.

Recently updated COVID-19 mRNA vaccines encode the spike protein of the omicron subvariant XBB.1.5 and are recommended for patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) on immunosuppressive treatment. Nonetheless, their immunogenicity in patients with IBD against rapidly expanding virus variants remains unknown.

The generation of small electron probes is the basis for various techniques in which such a probe is scanned across a sample, and special probe shapes like vortices can be desirable, e.g., to gain insight into magnetic properties. 

C₆₀ fullerenes encapsulated between graphene sheets were investigated by aberration-corrected high-resolution transmission electron microscopy at different temperatures, namely about 93 K, 293 K and 733 K, and by molecular dynamics simulations. We studied beam-induced dynamics of the C₆₀ fullerenes and the encapsulating graphene, measured the critical doses for the initial damage to the fullerenes and followed the beam-induced polymerization. We find that, while the dose

Spherical high quality, industrial-relevant LNMO materials developed. LNMO/electrolyte interface stabilized with borate-based interphase layer. Borate-modified LNMO exhibits superior electrochemical performance. The primary aging mechanism stems from LNMO/electrolyte interface instability.
