Demography, Pleasure, State, and Market in Socialist Sexology: Medical-Sexological and Sexual-Psychological Public Discourse in Socialist Hungary Through Counseling Books From a Social-Political Perspective.

This paper analyzes medical-sexological and sexual-psychological public discourse in Hungary between the Second World War and the regime change, through counseling and science communication books. It engages with works on the history of Hungarian socialist sexual discourse. It differs from such works in two main respects.

The design space of E(3)-equivariant atom-centred interatomic potentials.

Molecular dynamics simulation is an important tool in computational materials science and chemistry, and in the past decade it has been revolutionized by machine learning. This rapid progress in machine learning interatomic potentials has produced a number of new architectures in just the past few years. Particularly notable among these are the atomic cluster expansion, which unified many of the earlier ideas around atom-density-based descriptors, and Neural Equivariant Interatomic Potentials (NequIP), a message-passing neural network with equivariant features that exhibited state-of-the-art accuracy at the time.

Smooth muscle cell-specific CD47 deletion suppresses atherosclerosis.

Background: Recent smooth muscle cell (SMC)-lineage tracing and single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) experiments revealed a significant role of SMC-derived cells in atherosclerosis development. Further, thrombospondin-1 (TSP1), a matricellular protein, and activation of its receptor cluster of differentiation (CD) 47 have been linked with atherosclerosis. However, the role of vascular SMC TSP1-CD47 signaling in regulating VSMC phenotype and atherogenesis remains unknown.

Activation of receptor-independent fluid-phase pinocytosis promotes foamy monocyte formation in atherosclerotic mice.

Atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) is the leading cause of death worldwide. Clinical and experimental data demonstrated that circulating monocytes internalize plasma lipoproteins and become lipid-laden foamy cells in hypercholesterolemic subjects. This study was designed to identify the endocytic mechanisms responsible for foamy monocyte formation, perform functional and transcriptomic analysis of foamy and non-foamy monocytes relevant to ASCVD, and characterize specific monocyte subsets isolated from the circulation of normocholesterolemic controls and hypercholesterolemic patients.
