Insect hormone PTTH regulates lifespan through temporal and spatial activation of NF-κB signaling during metamorphosis

This study shows that PTTH loss-of-function in Drosophila extends lifespan by repressing NF-κB signaling in oenocytes during metamorphosis.

Soft and stretchable organic bioelectronics for continuous intra-operative neurophysiological monitoring during microsurgery

This paper introduces a soft, stretchable organic bioelectronic system for continuous intra-operative neurophysiological monitoring during microsurgery, demonstrating improved signal quality and reduced post-operative complications in animal models.

Significantly amplified photoacoustic effect for silica-coated gold nanoparticles by interface heat transfer mechanisms

This study demonstrates a 4-fold photoacoustic amplification in silica-coated gold nanoparticles using picosecond laser excitation, attributed to interface heat transfer mechanisms.

Connexin43 Overexpression Promotes Bone Regeneration by Osteogenesis and Angiogenesis in Rat Glucocorticoid-Induced Osteonecrosis of the Femoral Head

This study shows that overexpressing connexin43 in bone marrow-derived stromal stem cells promotes osteogenesis and angiogenesis, enhancing bone regeneration in a rat model of glucocorticoid-induced osteonecrosis.

Single Pulse Heating of Nanoparticle Array for Biological Applications

This study develops a computational model to investigate single-pulsed nanoparticle array heating and its effects on protein denaturation and activation, identifying key parameters for targeted protein manipulation.

Nanoparticle fragmentation at solid state under single picosecond laser pulse stimulation

This study shows that picosecond laser pulses cause gold nanoparticle fragmentation that differs from known mechanisms, occurring below melting point and producing a bimodal size distribution.

Physachenolide C induces complete regression of established murine melanoma tumors via apoptosis and cell cycle arrest

This study shows that physachenolide C induces complete regression of established murine melanoma tumors through apoptosis and cell cycle arrest, with durable responses in some mice.

Computational investigation of protein photoinactivation by molecular hyperthermia

This study uses a numerical model to investigate parameters affecting protein inactivation via molecular hyperthermia, identifying key factors that influence the impact zone of nanoscale heating.

Embedded Enzyme Nanoclusters Depolymerize Polyesters via Chain-End Mediated Processive Degradation

This paper demonstrates that enzyme nanoclusters can depolymerize polyesters via chain-end mediated processive degradation, enabling scalable bioactive plastics for efficient sorting.

Inhibitory effect of the TSG-6 on the BMP-4/Smad signaling pathway and odonto/osteogenic differentiation of dental pulp stem cells

This study investigates how TSG-6 affects BMP-4/Smad signaling and odonto/osteogenic differentiation of DPSCs in an inflammatory environment.

Impaired peroxisomal import in Drosophila hepatocyte-like cells induces cardiac dysfunction through the pro-inflammatory cytokine Upd3

This study shows that impaired peroxisomal import in Drosophila oenocytes increases Upd3, causing cardiac arrhythmia, and that restoring peroxisomal import prevents this effect.
