Self-assembled monolayers of 2-anthracenethiol and 2-naphthalenethiol on gold (111) were irradiated with low-power UV light. Scanning tunneling microscope images recorded in situ show unusual structural changes. In the case of 2-anthracenethiol, structures measuring 4-7 nm wide and 30-40 nm in length are formed. Images taken 10 min after irradiation ceased to show further surface reorganization. With 2-naphthalenethiol SAMs, smaller structures form upon irradiation, which subsequently revert to resemble the original structure after time.

Conserved multisensory integration of social cues in the thalamus.

The recognition of conspecifics, animals of the same species, and keeping track of changes in the social environment is essential to all animals. While molecules, circuits, and brain regions that control social behaviors across species are studied in-depth, the neural mechanisms that enable the recognition of social cues are largely obscure. Recent evidence suggests that social cues across sensory modalities converge in a thalamic area conserved across vertebrates.

Background: Collaborative Workspaces are rapidly growing and evolving across the world. Traditionally understood as an urban phenomenon, most research understands them as either 'entrepreneurial-led', as profit-driven and commercial spaces such as business incubators and accelerators, or 'community-led' as being bottom-up, not-for-profit ventures aimed at catering for the needs of their community. Recent years however have seen their diffusion beyond large urban agglomerations to small towns and villages, with their functions assumed to be more community-orientated.

Within green plants, the derived condition of heterosporous reproduction has emerged from the ancestral condition of homospory in disparate locations on the phylogenetic tree at least 11 times, of which three lineages are extant. In all green plant lineages where heterospory has emerged, there has been a significant downsizing in chromosome numbers.

Objectives: Dyslipidemias are major risk factors for cardiovascular disease, and other comorbidities. The focus on food and nutrition to prevent and treat cardiovascular risk factors including dyslipidemia is a paradigm shift. This is the first meta-analysis to assess the association of dates fruit and dyslipidemia in Type-2 diabetes.

Objective: To identify the disease-causing variant in a family with tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC).
Methods: This study including a Han-Chinese pedigree recruited from the Third Xiangya Hospital, Central South University, Changsha, Hunan, China was conducted between February, 2019 and January, 2023. Detailed clinical examinations were performed on the proband and other family members of a Han-Chinese family with TSC.
