Article Synopsis
  • Neuroanatomy is crucial for understanding how the nervous system works, especially focusing on dendritic spines important for synaptic communication and their response to injury or disease.
  • Advances in imaging technology have improved 3D visualization of dendritic spines, but current analysis tools are lacking.
  • The newly developed open-source VR-SASE software provides a user-friendly method for analyzing dendritic spine morphology and has proven more accurate than existing techniques; it also complies with NIH standards for data sharing through integration with the Neurodata Without Borders format.

Various noncollinear spin textures and magnetic phases have been predicted in twisted two-dimensional CrI due to competing ferromagnetic (FM) and antiferromagnetic (AFM) interlayer exchange from moiré stacking-with potential spintronic applications even when the underlying material possesses a negligible Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya or dipole-dipole interaction. Recent measurements have shown evidence of coexisting FM and AFM layer order in small-twist-angle CrI bilayers and double bilayers. Yet, the nature of the magnetic textures remains unresolved and possibilities for their manipulation and electrical readout are unexplored.

Background: Fabry disease (FD) causes cold-evoked pain and impaired cold perception through small fiber damage, which also occurs in polyneuropathies (PNP) of other origins. The integrity of thinly myelinated fibers and the spinothalamic tract is assessable by cold-evoked potentials (CEPs). In this study, we aimed to assess the clinical value of CEP by investigating its associations with pain, autonomic measures, sensory loss, and neuropathic signs.

Use of nutrients recycled from societal waste streams in agriculture is part of the circular economy, and in line with organic farming principles. Nevertheless, diverse contaminants in waste streams create doubts among organic farmers about potential risks for soil health. Here, we gather the current knowledge on contaminant levels in waste streams and recycled nutrient sources, and discuss associated risks.

Background: Physical exercise exerts a positive effect on many chronic conditions, specifically lifestyle-related diseases such as overweight and obesity, type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), cardiovascular conditions and osteoarthritis (OA). As a result of common risk factors, most of these patients present with multiple conditions. Exercise- and disease-related biomarkers, such as adipokines, are emerging tools in training supervision and regulation; however, their significance in subjects with multimorbidities is unknown.
