Article Synopsis
- Polaritons are quasiparticles formed from light and matter that influence how quantum materials respond optically, making them useful for technologies like communication and sensing at the nanoscale.
- The study focuses on Landau-phonon polaritons (LPPs) found in magnetized, charge-neutral graphene that is encapsulated in a material called hexagonal boron nitride (hBN), revealing new interactions between different particle modes.
- Using a technique called infrared magneto-nanoscopy, researchers discovered that they can completely stop the movement of LPPs at specific magnetic fields, which challenges traditional optical rules and provides insights into critical phenomena related to electrons in the material.
It remains to be elucidated whether Ca antagonists induce pharmacological preconditioning to protect the heart against ischemia/reperfusion injury. The aim of this study was to determine whether and how pretreatment with a Ca antagonist, azelnidipine, could protect cardiomyocytes against hypoxia/reoxygenation (H/R) injury in vitro. Using HL-1 cardiomyocytes, we studied effects of azelnidipine on NO synthase (NOS) expression, NO production, cell death and apoptosis during H/R.

In this study, we explored the role of NC cells in thymic T cell development. In double-transgenic mice expressing NC-specific Cre and the Cre-driven diphtheria toxin receptor, plasma noradrenaline and adrenaline levels were significantly reduced, as were thymic T cell progenitors, when NC-derived cells were ablated with short-term administration of diphtheria toxin.
