Although the voice-sensitive neural system emerges very early in development, it has yet to be demonstrated whether neonatal brain is sensitive voice perception. We measured EEG mismatch response (MMR) elicited by emotionally spoken syllables "dada" along with correspondingly synthesized nonvocal sounds, whose fundamental frequency contours were matched, 98 full-term newborns aged 1-5 days. In Experiment 1, happy relative sounds an MMR lateralized right hemisphere. 2, fearful stronger...
Mesenchymal stem/stromal cells (MSCs) are promising potential candidates for the treatment of immunological diseases because their immunosuppressive functions. However, molecular mechanisms that mediate MSCs' activity remain elusive. In this article, we report first time, to our knowledge, secreted growth-regulated oncogene (GRO) chemokines, specifically GRO-γ, in human MSC-conditioned media have an effect on differentiation and function monocyte-derived dendritic cells. The were driven...
Hyperpolarized carbon-13 (HP-13C) MRI is a non-invasive imaging technique for probing brain metabolism, which may improve clinical cancer surveillance.

Delaying mitotic cell cycle progression has been proposed as a strategy to potentiate the effects of anti-mitotic anti-cancer drugs that induce multipolar spindles. Toward this end, we have performed an in silico docking screen targeting anaphase-promoting complex/cyclosome subunit 1 (APC1) at conserved 10-amino acid surface site was modeled interact via single hydrogen bond with essential (APC/C) co-factor division 20 (CDC20). Five molecules were identified after screening 15,000 small...
Lunar rock fragments, particularly those deemed pristine, have long been considered vital records of the Moon's formation and magmatic evolution. These fragments were thought to largely escaped intense impact history, offering a window into early lunar crust. However, concept "pristine" is increasingly debated, as traditional criteria for identifying pristine samples—based on texture, mineral content, siderophile element abundances—may overlook extensive effects reworking. In this study, we...

T follicular helper (Tfh) cell-derived signals promote activation and proliferation of antigen-primed B cells. It remains unclear whether epigenetic regulation is involved in the cell responses to Tfh signals.

Paclitaxel induces multipolar spindles at clinically relevant doses but does not substantially increase mitotic indices. Paclitaxel's anti-cancer effects are hypothesized to occur by promoting chromosome mis-segregation on leading apoptosis, necrosis and cyclic-GMP-AMP Synthase-Stimulator of Interferon Genes (cGAS-STING) pathway activation in daughter cells, secretion type I interferon (IFN) immunogenic cell death. Eribulin vinorelbine have also been reported cause increases cancer cells....
Flood disasters often result in significant losses of life and property, making them among the most devastating natural hazards. Therefore, reliable accurate water level forecasting is critically important. Rainfall-runoff modeling, which a complex nonlinear time series process, plays key role this endeavor. Numerous studies have demonstrated that data-driven methods, particularly deep learning approaches such as convolutional neural networks (CNNs), long short-term memory (LSTM) networks,...
Hydrogels provide three-dimensional (3D) frames with tissue-like elasticity and high water content for tissue scaffolds.
