As one of the most widely discussed fields, the assembly of nanomaterials has always been extensively studied. However, its inverse process, namely disassembly, is still limited in the ambit of biomolecules. Specifically, in the emerging 2D research field, disassembly still remains unexplored. Inspired by the disassembly of DNA molecules via breaking intermolecular hydrogen bonds, the disassembly of 2D vertical heterostructures (2DVHs) is first achieved through the weakening of the interlayer van der Waals interactions. As a demonstration, ReS /WS VHs is successfully disassembled into individual building blocks. Density functional theory calculations are performed to study the disassembly of the 2DVHs, which simulate that 2DVHs are first activated by the disassembly promoters and then disassembled with weakened interlayer van der Waals interactions. Such a disassembly process demonstrates that it has great potential to be expanded as a general strategy to achieve the disassembly of other 2D superstructures.

The process of mammalian myogenesis is fundamental to understanding muscle development and holds broad relevance across multiple fields, from developmental biology to regenerative medicine. This review highlights two key aspects: myoblast proliferation and the role of cilia in this process. Myoblasts, as muscle precursor cells, must undergo tightly regulated cycles of proliferation and differentiation to ensure proper muscle growth and function.

With the rapid increase in end-of-life smartphones, enhancing the automation and intelligence of their recycling processes has become an urgent challenge. At present, the disassembly of discarded smartphones predominantly relies on manual labor, which is not only inefficient but also associated with environmental pollution and high labor intensity. In the context of end-of-life smartphone recycling, complex situations such as stacking and occlusion are commonly encountered.

Meiosis in mammalian oocytes is interrupted by a prolonged arrest at the germinal vesicle stage, during which oocytes have to repair DNA lesions to ensure genome integrity or otherwise undergo apoptosis. The FIRRM/FLIP-FIGNL1 complex dissociates RAD51 from the joint DNA molecules in both homologous recombination (HR) and DNA replication. However, as a type of non-meiotic, non-replicative cells, whether this RAD51-dismantling mechanism regulates genome integrity in oocytes remains elusive.

This study focuses on selecting a suitable 3D printer and defining experimental methods to gather the necessary data for determining the optimal filament material for printing components of the VEX GO and VEX IQ robotic kits. The aim is to obtain the required data to identify an appropriate filament material and set 3D printing parameters to achieve the desired mechanical properties of the parts while maintaining cost-effectiveness. Another key objective is achieving optimal operational functionality, ensuring the required part performance with minimal printing costs.
