A theoretical study of the emergence of helices in the wake of precipitation fronts is presented. The precipitation dynamics is described by the Cahn-Hilliard equation and the fronts are obtained by quenching the system into a linearly unstable state. Confining the process onto the surface of a cylinder and using the pulled-front formalism, our analytical calculations show that there are front solutions that propagate into the unstable state and leave behind a helical structure. We find that helical patterns emerge only if the radius of the cylinder R is larger than a critical value R>R(c), in agreement with recent experiments.

Article Synopsis
- The research aimed to compare two existing stereotactic brain biopsy (SBB) methods (3D-SCG and neuronavigation with Brainsight) against a new method using Brainsight with a 3D-printed headframe (BS3D-HF) for canine cadavers.
- The study involved five canine cadavers, with initial CT scans taken, followed by the placement of pins at selected target points using each method, and then a repeat CT to assess accuracy.
- Results showed that both 3D-SCG and neuronavigation had comparable median deviations (2.48 mm and 3.28 mm), while the BS3D-HF had a much larger median deviation (14.8 mm), indicating

Transcription-coupled supercoiling of DNA is a key factor in chromosome compaction and the regulation of genetic processes in all domains of life. It has become common knowledge that, during transcription, the DNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RNAP) induces positive supercoiling ahead of it (downstream) and negative supercoils in its wake (upstream), as rotation of RNAP around the DNA axis upon tracking its helical groove gets constrained due to drag on its RNA transcript. Here, we experimentally validate this so-called twin-supercoiled-domain model with in vitro real-time visualization at the single-molecule scale.

The neuropeptides orexin A and B regulate various vital functions of the body, such as sleep/wake states, metabolism, and energy homeostasis. A loss of their physiological activity, with reduced ability to recognize their receptors, is suspected to be associated with oxidative stress conditions. These are related to excessive presence of reactive oxygen and nitrogen species, as well as of reactive lipoxidation byproducts.

Nanoparticles based on bovine serum albumin (BSA), which shares 76% homology with human serum albumin (HSA), have emerged as a promising candidate for the efficient delivery of anticancer drugs. Thermal-driven self-assembly is a novel organic solvent-free approach to produce albumin nanoparticles. In our previous study, some features of this nanoparticle such as drug loading efficiency, drug encapsulation efficiency and drug release kinetics have been evaluated.
