Surface receptors can link binding of ligands to changes in the actin-based cell cytoskeleton. Chia et al. and Chen et al. provide evidence for direct binding between the cytoplasmic tails of receptors and the WAVE complex, a regulator of the actin nucleator Arp2/3 complex, which might help to explain how environmental signals are translated into changes in morphology and motility.

Neural specialization for 'visual' concepts emerges in the absence of vision.

Cognition

January 2025

Department of Psychological & Brain Sciences, Johns Hopkins University, Baltimore, MD, USA. Electronic address:

The 'different-body/different-concepts hypothesis' central to some embodiment theories proposes that the sensory capacities of our bodies shape the cognitive and neural basis of our concepts. We tested this hypothesis by comparing behavioral semantic similarity judgments and neural signatures (fMRI) of 'visual' categories ('living things,' or animals, e.g.

Smoke is a critical indicator of forest fires, often detectable before flames ignite. Accurate smoke identification in remote sensing images is vital for effective forest fire monitoring within Internet of Things (IoT) systems. However, existing detection methods frequently falter in complex real-world scenarios, where variable smoke shapes and sizes, intricate backgrounds, and smoke-like phenomena (e.

What makes routine maternal and neonatal health data to be 'good quality'? That depends on whom you ask - the people collecting and reporting these data across health system levels have different priorities and face varying constraints. Data are constructed by people, about people, and they both reflect and impact human interactions. This study analyses the power dynamics shaping how routine health data are collected and reported in labour wards of two hospitals in Southern Tanzania.

Exploring Technology Acceptance of Healthcare Devices: The Moderating Role of Device Type and Generation.

Sensors (Basel)

December 2024

School of Hospitality & Tourism Management, Kyungsung University, Busan 48434, Republic of Korea.

The increasing adoption of healthcare devices necessitates a deeper understanding of the factors that influence user acceptance in this rapidly evolving area. Therefore, this study examined the factors influencing the technology acceptance of healthcare devices, focusing on radar sensors and wearable devices. A total of 1158 valid responses were used to test hypotheses, mediation, and moderation effects using SmartPLS 4.

Density Functional Theory Insights into Conduction Mechanisms in Perovskite-Type RCoO Nanofibers for Future Resistive Random-Access Memory Applications.

Molecules

December 2024

Inner Mongolia Key Lab of Solid State Chemistry for Battery, Inner Mongolia Engineering Research Center of Lithium-Sulfur Battery Energy Storage, College of Chemistry and Materials Science, Inner Mongolia Minzu University, Tongliao 028000, China.

In the era of artificial intelligence and Internet of Things, data storage has an important impact on the future development direction of data analysis. Resistive random-access memory (RRAM) devices are the research hotspot in the era of artificial intelligence and Internet of Things. Perovskite-type rare-earth metal oxides are common functional materials and considered promising candidates for RRAM devices because their interesting electronic properties depend on the interaction between oxygen ions, transition metals, and rare-earth metals.
