Enzymatic Reaction Network-driven Polymerization-induced Transient Coacervation.

A living cell has a highly complex microenvironment whereas numerous enzyme-driven processes are active at once. These procedures are incredibly accurate and efficient, although comparable control has not yet been established in vitro. Here, we design an enzymatic reaction network (ERN) that combines antagonistic and orthogonal enzymatic networks to produce adjustable dynamics of ATP-fueled transient coacervation.

Harnessing Competitive Interactions to Regulate Supramolecular "Micelle-Droplet-Fiber" Transition and Reversibility in Water.

The supramolecular assembly of proteins into irreversible fibrils is often associated with diseases in which aberrant phase transitions occur. Due to the complexity of biological systems and their surrounding environments, the mechanism underlying phase separation-mediated supramolecular assembly is poorly understood, making the reversal of so-called irreversible fibrillization a significant challenge. Therefore, it is crucial to develop simple model systems that provide insights into the mechanistic process of monomers to phase-separated droplets and ordered supramolecular assemblies.

Ultrahigh-speed absolute temperature sensing using ferroelectric HfO enabled by transient negative differential capacitance.

Conventional ferroelectric polarization-driven temperature sensors, like pyroelectric sensors, often face challenges such as slow response times, limited compatibility with conventional nanoelectronics, and inability to operate under constant temperature conditions. These shortcomings hinder their adaptability to a broad range of applications, especially when compared to thermal and optical sensors. To address these challenges, we introduce a proof-of-concept methodology that enables ferroelectric-based pyroelectric sensors to measure absolute temperatures with high accuracy and speed.

A Single-Pixel Event Photoactive Device for Real-Time, In-Sensor Spatiotemporal Optical Information Processing.

The increasing demand for energy-efficient, sophisticated optical sensing technologies in various applications, from machine vision to optical communication, highlights the necessity for innovations in spatiotemporal information sensing and processing at a nearly single-pixel scale. Traditional methods, including multi-pixel photodetector arrays and event-based camera systems, often fail to provide rapid, real-time detection and processing of dynamic events within the sensor. This shortcoming is particularly notable in handling high-dimensional spatiotemporal data, where the dependency on sequential data input and external processing tools leads to latency, reduced throughput, and heightened energy consumption, thereby impeding real-time parallel data processing capabilities.

On the role of geometric phase in the dynamics of elastic waveguides.

The geometric phase provides important mathematical insights to understand the fundamental nature and evolution of the dynamic response in a wide spectrum of systems ranging from quantum to classical mechanics. While the concept of geometric phase, which is an additional phase factor occurring in dynamical systems, holds the same meaning across different fields of application, its use and interpretation can acquire important nuances specific to the system of interest. In recent years, the development of quantum topological materials and its extension to classical mechanical systems have renewed the interest in the concept of geometric phase.

Post-traumatic stress disorder in maxillofacial trauma victims- A systematic review and meta-analysis.

Background: Maxillofacial trauma often results in visible facial disfigurements and can lead to psychological complications such as post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). However, PTSD often remains unrecognized and un/undertreated. The goal of the current systematic review was to determine the incidence of PTSD after maxillofacial trauma, associated risk factors, assessment tools employed, and management.

Design and assessment of tractor-driven chopping tilling and mixing machine for in-situ management of paddy straw.

In many Indian regions, paddy wheat is the main crop rotation and facing the problem of straw incorporation for seed bed preparation in short period. The handling of straw in combine harvested paddy fields is a significant issue in the paddy wheat rotation. In order to solve this issue, efforts were carried out to cut paddy straw into small pieces by the newly proposed counter-rotating blades, followed by the simultaneous incorporation of a rotary tiller into the soil.

Evolutionary transfer optimization-based approach for automated ictal pattern recognition using brain signals.

The visual scrutinization process for detecting epileptic seizures (ictal patterns) is time-consuming and prone to manual errors, which can have serious consequences, including drug abuse and life-threatening situations. To address these challenges, expert systems for automated detection of ictal patterns have been developed, yet feature engineering remains problematic due to variability within and between subjects. Single-objective optimization approaches yield less reliable results.

Roles of cMyBP-C phosphorylation on cardiac contractile dysfunction in mice.

Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a metabolic disease and comorbidity associated with several conditions, including cardiac dysfunction leading to heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF), in turn resulting in T2DM-induced cardiomyopathy (T2DM-CM). However, the molecular mechanisms underlying the development of T2DM-CM are poorly understood. It is hypothesized that molecular alterations in myopathic genes induced by diabetes promote the development of HFpEF, whereas cardiac myosin inhibitors can rescue the resultant T2DM-mediated cardiomyopathy.
