The electro-optical behavior of deformed helix ferroelectric liquid crystal in reflective mode is described in this paper. The electrically controlled reflectance has been measured at subkilohertz driving voltage frequency for different polarizations of the incident light and compared quite successfully with the simulation results.

Metabolic syndrome (MetS) is a cluster of metabolic abnormalities, including visceral obesity, dyslipidemia, and insulin resistance. In this regard, visceral white adipose tissue (vWAT) plays a critical role, influencing energy metabolism, immunomodulation, and oxidative stress. Adipose-derived stem cells (ADSCs) are key players in these processes within vWAT.

Many of these proteins recognize not only the chemical structure of the membrane lipids, but the curvature of the surface, binding more strongly to more highly curved surfaces, or 'curvature sensing'. Curvature sensing by amphipathic helices is known to vary with membrane bending rigidity, but changes to lipid composition can simultaneously alter membrane thickness, spontaneous curvature, and leaflet symmetry, thus far preventing a systematic characterization of lipid composition on such curvature sensing through either experiment or simulation.

Background: Prominent ears are a prevalent aesthetic concern, with numerous surgical techniques utilized in otoplasty procedures, without a widely approved gold standard. Traditional methods often leave residual deformities, reducing patient satisfaction.
Methods: We conducted a retrospective case series analysis involving 38 patients (30 Female, 8 Male) who underwent otoplasty to correct prominent ears for aesthetic purposes from January 2019 to December 2022.

Article Synopsis
- UBE3A/E6AP expression abnormalities are linked to neurological disorders like Angelman syndrome and autism, with three protein isoforms existing that have unique functions and cellular roles.
- Research shows the isoforms differ structurally, particularly in their N-terminal regions, affecting their ability to bind to the proteasome and multimerize, which is crucial for their proper activation.
- Advanced techniques, including NMR spectroscopy, reveal that some isoforms have dynamic features that could influence their response to oxidative stress, enhancing the understanding of UBE3A's functions and potential therapeutic targets for related disorders.
A DNA Origami Pivot Hinge Driven by DNA Intercalators.
ACS Nano
December 2024
Department of Mechanical Engineering, Seoul National University, 1 Gwanak-ro, Gwanak-gu, Seoul 08826, Korea.
Article Synopsis
- The DNA origami technique allows for the creation of nanoscale structures that can change shape dynamically.
- A new design features a hinge mechanism that pivots based on the concentration of DNA intercalators, using gold nanoparticles for support.
- This pivoting motion can be adjusted and repeated, potentially leading to the development of advanced nanosensors and actuators that amplify tiny movements caused by molecular interactions.
