We discuss a method to derive all symmetry-distinct oriented 2-cell embeddings of a given graph and classify them based on their symmetry. As an example, we apply the algorithm to the highly symmetrical trivalent Möbius-Kantor graph. Considering the derived 2-cell embeddings as carbon networks leads to some interesting negative curvature carbon allotropes.

Germline mutations in SMCHD1, DNMT3B and LRIF1 can cause facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy type 2 (FSHD2). FSHD is an epigenetic skeletal muscle disorder in which partial failure in heterochromatinization of the D4Z4 macrosatellite repeat causes spurious expression of the repeat-embedded gene in skeletal muscle, ultimately leading to muscle weakness and wasting. All three proteins play a role in chromatin organization and gene silencing; however, their functional relationship has not been fully elucidated.

Electrochemical alkaline water electrolysis offers significant economic advantages; however, these benefits are hindered by the high kinetic energy barrier of the water dissociation step and the sluggish kinetics of the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) in alkaline media. Herein, the ensemble effect of binary types of Rh single atoms (Rh-N and Rh-O) on TiO-embedded carbon nanofiber (Rh-TiO/CNF) is reported, which serves as potent active sites for high-performance HER in anion exchange membrane water electrolyzer (AEMWE). Density functional theory (DFT) analyses support the experimental observations, highlighting the critical role of binary types of Rh single atoms facilitated by the TiO sites.

Biomimetic 3D models emerged some decades ago to address 2D cell culture limitations in the field of replicating biological phenomena, structures or functions found in nature. The fabrication of hydrogels for cancer disease research enables the study of cell processes including growth, proliferation and migration and their 3D design is based on the encapsulation of tumoral cells within a tunable matrix. In this work, a platform of gelatin methacrylamide (GelMA)-based photocrosslinked scaffolds with embedded colorectal (HCT-116) or pancreatic (MIA PaCa-2) cancer cells is presented.

Article Synopsis
- Zygotic genome activation (ZGA) initiates embryonic development in totipotent embryos, leading to the formation of the inner cell mass (ICM) and trophectoderm, yet the connection to early lineage segregation is unclear.
- Researchers found that the nuclear receptor transcription factor NR5A2 is crucial for linking ZGA to lineage segregation, as its absence disrupts gene activation specifically in later embryonic stages (4-8 cells) while initial development proceeds normally.
- NR5A2 influences the activation of important genes for pluripotency and early cell fate decisions during the 8-cell stage, distinguishing its specific regulatory role from that of other master pluripotency factors present in embryonic stem cells.
Enhancing oral bioavailability of insulin through bilosomes: Implication of charge and chain length on apical sodium-dependent bile acid transporter (ASBT) uptake.

This study investigates the impact of charge and chain length of bile salts in the bilosomes on the oral bioavailability of insulin (IN) by examining their uptake via the apical sodium-dependent bile acid transporter (ASBT). Deoxycholic acid bile salt was conjugated with different amino acids to create conjugates with varying charge and chain length, which were then embedded in liposomes. The resulting bilosomes had a particle size <400 nm, a PDI of 0.
