We study dynamical phase transitions in a model supercooled liquid. These transitions occur in ensembles of trajectories that are biased towards low (or high) dynamical activity. We compare two different measures of activity that were introduced in recent papers and we find that they are anti-correlated with each other. To interpret this result, we show that the two measures couple to motion on different length and time scales. We find that "inactive" states with very slow structural relaxation nevertheless have increased molecular motion on very short scales. We discuss these results in terms of the potential energy landscape of the system and in terms of the liquid structure in active/inactive states.

Background: Neurodegenerative diseases, including Alzheimer's disease (AD), have been long thought to be independent of the peripheral immune system, but their pathogenesis status is functionally influenced by various T cell subsets in the periphery. Especially Treg cells are emerging as an important dynamic population in the brain, but the detailed immunological molecular and cellular processes are poorly characterized METHOD: We reported that the cell surface protein Lrig1 is enriched in Treg cells and is an essential regulator of the functions of Treg cells in vitro and in vivo. To evaluate the functional importance of Treg cells in AD pathogenesis, the modulating mAb specific to Lrig1 (GTC 310-01) via intravenous injection route was administered into 5xFAD or 6xTg mice, the genetic mouse model of AD, and the various AD symptoms were investigated.

Aβ peptides exist in a dynamic continuum of conformational states from monomeric Aβ, to soluble progressively larger Aβ assemblies that include a range of low molecular weight oligomers to higher molecular weight protofibrils, and finally to insoluble fibrils (plaques). Various lines of evidence support the "amyloid hypothesis" that Aβ plays a central role in the pathogenesis of AD, and several immunotherapies have been developed to interact with this cascade in various different places which may reduce the number of soluble aggregates and insoluble Aβ fibrils deposited in the brain.

The packing of organic molecular crystals is often dominated by weak non-covalent interactions, making their rearrangement under external stimuli challenging to understand. We investigate a pressure-induced single-crystal-to-single-crystal (SCSC) transformation between two polymorphs of 2,4,5-triiodo-1-imidazole using machine learning potentials. This process involves the rearrangement of halogen and hydrogen bonds combined with proton transfer within a complex solid-state system.
