Comparative effects of 3,5-diiodo-L-thyronine and 3,5,3'-triiodo-L-thyronine on mitochondrial damage and cGAS/STING-driven inflammation in liver of hypothyroid rats.

Maintaining a well-functioning mitochondrial network through the mitochondria quality control (MQC) mechanisms, including biogenesis, dynamics and mitophagy, is crucial for overall health. Mitochondrial dysfunction caused by oxidative stress and further exacerbated by impaired quality control can trigger inflammation through the release of the damage-associated molecular patterns (mtDAMPs). mtDAMPs act by stimulating the cyclic GMP-AMP synthase (cGAS) stimulator of interferon genes (STING) pathway.

Berry Curvature Dipole in Strained Graphene: A Fermi Surface Warping Effect.

It has been recently established that optoelectronic and nonlinear transport experiments can give direct access to the dipole moment of the Berry curvature in nonmagnetic and noncentrosymmetric materials. Thus far, nonvanishing Berry curvature dipoles have been shown to exist in materials with substantial spin-orbit coupling where low-energy Dirac quasiparticles form tilted cones. Here, we prove that this topological effect does emerge in two-dimensional Dirac materials even in the complete absence of spin-orbit coupling.

Phase Separation from Electron Confinement at Oxide Interfaces.

Oxide heterostructures are of great interest for both fundamental and applicative reasons. In particular, the two-dimensional electron gas at the LaAlO_{3}/SrTiO_{3} or LaTiO_{3}/SrTiO_{3} interfaces displays many different properties and functionalities. However, there are clear experimental indications that the interface electronic state is strongly inhomogeneous and therefore it is crucial to investigate possible intrinsic mechanisms underlying this inhomogeneity.
