Ageing dynamics of a re-entrant ferromagnet stage-2 Cu(0.8)Co(0.2)Cl(2) graphite intercalation compound has been studied using DC magnetization measurements. This compound undergoes successive transitions at the transition temperatures T(c) (≈8.7 K) and T(RSG) (≈3.3 K). The relaxation rate S(ZFC)(t) exhibits a characteristic peak at t(cr) below T(c). The peak time t(cr) at constant t(w) shows a local maximum around 5.5 K, indicating a slow dynamics arising from a frustrated nature of the ferromagnetic phase. It drastically increases with decreasing temperature below T(RSG). The spin configuration imprinted at the stop and wait process at a stop temperature T(s) (

Aging often triggers dental pulp fibrosis, resulting in clinical repercussions such as increased susceptibility to dental infections, compromised tooth vitality, and reduced responsiveness to dental interventions. Despite its prevalence, the precise molecular mechanisms underlying this condition remains unclear. Leveraging single-cell transcriptome analysis from both our own and publicly available datasets, we identified Ccrl2 macrophages as particularly vulnerable during the early stages of aging.

Biomolecular condensates are dynamic intracellular entities defined by their sequence- and composition-encoded material properties. During aging, these properties can change dramatically, potentially leading to pathological solidlike states, the mechanisms of which remain poorly understood. Recent experiments reveal that the aging of condensates involves a complex interplay of solvent depletion, strengthening of sticker links, and the formation of rigid structural segments such as beta fibrils.

The PnuC gene plays a crucial role in the complex processes related to the absorption and synthesis of the nicotinamide mononucleotide (NMN) precursor. NMN, a nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD) precursor, is important for cellular energy metabolism, DNA repair, and antiaging. This study focuses on elucidating the precursor absorption mechanism and the specific function of the PnuC gene in encoding membrane transport proteins, as well as its impact on the regulation and dynamics of NMN within the cell.

Poly-N-isopropylacrylamide (PNIPAm), a thermorresponsive polymer, highly soluble in water below its lower critical solution temperature (LCST), is widely used in biomedical applications like drug delivery. Being able to measure PNIPAm size and aggregation state in solution quickly, inexpensively, and accurately below the LCST is critical when stoichiometric particle or molecular ratios are required. Dynamic light scattering (DLS) is probably the most widely available, and inexpensive nanoparticle sizing technique, but there are limitations with respect to sample polydispersity.

HFpEF is a prevalent and complex type of heart failure. The concurrent presence of conditions such as obesity, hypertension, hyperglycemia, and hyperlipidemia significantly increase the risk of developing HFpEF. Mitochondria, often referred to as the powerhouses of the cell, are crucial in maintaining cellular functions, including ATP production, intracellular Ca regulation, reactive oxygen species generation and clearance, and the regulation of apoptosis.
