Coexistence of superconductivity with partially filled stripes in the Hubbard model.

The Hubbard model is an iconic model in quantum many-body physics and has been intensely studied, especially since the discovery of high-temperature cuprate superconductors. Combining the complementary capabilities of two computational methods, we found superconductivity in both the electron- and hole-doped regimes of the two-dimensional Hubbard model with next-nearest-neighbor hopping. In the electron-doped regime, superconductivity was weaker and was accompanied by antiferromagnetic Néel correlations at low doping.

The Importance of Both Individual Differences and Dyadic Processes in Children's Emotion Expression.

Although children display strong individual differences in emotion expression, they also engage in emotional synchrony or reciprocity with interaction partners. To understand this paradox between trait-like and dyadic influences, the goal of the current study was to investigate children's emotion expression using a Social Relations Model (SRM) approach. Playgroups consisting typically of four same-sex unfamiliar nine-year-old children ( = 202) interacted in a round-robin format (6 dyads per group).

Unusual Upper Gastrointestinal Bleeding Due to a Neuroendocrine Tumor Arising in Meckel Diverticulum.

Meckel diverticulum is the most common congenital variation of the gastrointestinal tract arising from incomplete obliteration of the vitelline duct during gestation. In most cases, individuals are asymptomatic. This is a case of a 38-year-old patient with hematochezia in whom Meckel diverticulum was diagnosed.

Skin keratinocyte-derived SIRT1 and BDNF modulate mechanical allodynia in mouse models of diabetic neuropathy.

Diabetic neuropathy is a debilitating disorder characterized by spontaneous and mechanical allodynia. The role of skin mechanoreceptors in the development of mechanical allodynia is unclear. We discovered that mice with diabetic neuropathy had decreased sirtuin 1 (SIRT1) deacetylase activity in foot skin, leading to reduced expression of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) and subsequent loss of innervation in Meissner corpuscles, a mechanoreceptor expressing the BDNF receptor TrkB.

An Integrated Approach Including CRISPR/Cas9-Mediated Nanopore Sequencing, Mate Pair Sequencing, and Cytogenomic Methods to Characterize Complex Structural Rearrangements in Acute Myeloid Leukemia.

Complex structural chromosome abnormalities such as chromoanagenesis have been reported in acute myeloid leukemia (AML). They are usually not well characterized by conventional genetic methods, and the characterization of chromoanagenesis structural abnormalities from short-read sequencing still presents challenges. Here, we characterized complex structural abnormalities involving chromosomes 2, 3, and 7 in an AML patient using an integrated approach including CRISPR/Cas9-mediated nanopore sequencing, mate pair sequencing (MPseq), and SNP microarray analysis along with cytogenetic methods.

accelerates stem cell recruitment to human skeletal muscle after exercise.

is a parasitic fungus known to induce immune responses. The impact of supplementation on stem cell homing and expansion to human skeletal muscle after exercise remains unexplored. In this study, we examined how pre-exercise supplementation influences cell infiltration, CD34 cell recruitment, and Pax7 cell expansion in human skeletal muscle after high-intensity interval exercise (HIIE) on a cycloergometer.

Resetting thermal limits: 10-year-old white sturgeon display pronounced but reversible thermal plasticity.

While many ectotherms improve thermal tolerance in response to prolonged thermal stress, little is known about the lasting effects of warm acclimation after returning to cooler temperatures. Furthermore, thermal stress may disproportionately impact threatened and endangered species. To address this, we repeatedly measured critical thermal maxima (CT; °C) and associated stress responses (hematocrit, hemoglobin concentration, plasma cortisol) of endangered subadult white sturgeon (Acipenser transmontanus) in response to control temperature (pre-acclimation; 14°C), after 1 month at either control or warm temperature (acclimation; 14°C or 20°C), and after one smonth following return to control temperature (post-acclimation; 14°C).

New species of Monomitopus (Ophidiidae) from Hawaii, with the description of a larval coiling behavior.

In 1985, Carter and Cohen noted that there are several yet-to-be described species of Monomitopus (Ophidiidae), including one from Hawaii. Recently, blackwater divers collected a larval fish off Kona, Hawaii, similar to the previously described larvae of M. kumae, but DNA sequence data from the larva does not match any of the six previously sequenced species within the genus.

Disrupting the Dorsolateral Prefrontal Cortex Attenuates the Difference in Decision-Making for Altruistic Punishment Between the Gain and Loss Contexts.

Altruistic punishment is a primary response to social norms violations; its neural mechanism has also attracted extensive research attention. In the present studies, we applied a low-frequency repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) to the bilateral dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) while participants engaged in a modified Ultimatum Game (Study 1) and third-party punishment game (Study 2) to explore how the bilateral DLPFC disruption affects people's perception of violation of fairness norms and altruistic punishment decision in the gain and loss contexts. Typically, punishers intervene more often against and show more social outrage towards Dictators/Proposers who unfairly distribute losses than those who unfairly share gains.

Understanding Pseudophosphatase Function Through Biochemical Interactions.

Pseudophosphatases have been solidified as important signaling molecules that regulate signal transduction cascades. However, their mechanisms of action remain enigmatic. Reflecting this mystery, the prototypical pseudophosphatase STYX (phospho-serine-threonine/tyrosine-binding protein) was named with allusion to the river of the dead in Greek mythology to emphasize that these molecules are "dead" phosphatases.

COVID-19 Boosters: If The US Had Matched Israel's Speed And Take-Up, An Estimated 29,000 US Lives Would Have Been Saved.

Israel was the first country to launch COVID-19 boosters, in late July 2021, with strong public health messaging. The booster campaign reversed rising infection rates from the Delta variant and reduced hospitalizations and deaths. The US booster rollout was slower, and public health messaging was mixed.

Introduction: Oxygen is pivotal for wound healing. Its lack or hypoxia can delay this process, especially in individuals with comorbidities, potentially resulting in complex or hard-to-heal wounds. The Colombian Association of Diabetes (ACD) and the Colombian Association of Internal Medicine (ACMI) collaborated with a diverse group of experts to provide recommendations on the efficacy and best practices of continuous transdermal oxygen therapy (TOTc) in the care of such wounds.

Selection on plastic adherence leads to hyper-multicellular strains and incidental virulence in the budding yeast.

Many disease-causing microbes are not obligate pathogens; rather, they are environmental microbes taking advantage of an ecological opportunity. The existence of microbes whose life cycle does not require a host and are not normally pathogenic, yet are well-suited to host exploitation, is an evolutionary puzzle. One hypothesis posits that selection in the environment may favor traits that incidentally lead to pathogenicity and virulence, or serve as pre-adaptations for survival in a host.
