Bioinspired neuromorphic computing strategies offer a promising solution, characterized by features of in-memory computing, massively parallel processing, and event-driven operations. Compared to traditional rigid silicon-based devices, flexible neuromorphic devices are lightweight, thin, and highly stretchable, garnering considerable attention.

Prevalence of Heritable Symbionts in Parisian Bedbugs (Hemiptera: Cimicidae).

Like many insects, the biology of bedbugs is impacted by a range of partner heritable microbes. Three maternally inherited symbionts are recognised: Wolbachia (an obligate partner), Symbiopectobacterium purcellii strain SyClec, and Candidatus Tisiphia sp. (facultative symbionts typically present in some but not all individuals).

An Argument for More High-Quality Research Focused on Mental Health in the Post-Secondary Context.

We argue that while a substantial proportion of emerging adults are in post-secondary education, there is relatively little consideration of this context within research and policy around youth mental health. The unique challenges young adults face in post-secondary education overlay underlying risk factors experienced by emerging adults. While post-secondary education facilitates social mobility, it also introduces stressors such as academic demands, financial insecurity and social isolation.

Rooted in routine: Fostering higher order vegetable-shopping habits using a randomised simple planning intervention.

Spray-Assisted Fabrication of Cellulose Photonic Pigments on Superhydrophobic Surfaces.

Photonic pigments, especially those based on naturally-derived building blocks like cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs), are emerging as a promising sustainable alternative to absorption-based colorants. However, the proposed manufacturing methods for CNC pigments, via either grinding films or emulsion-based production, usually require several processing steps. This limits their commercialization by increasing the costs, timescales, and environmental impacts of production.

A cellular model of TDP-43 induces phosphorylated TDP-43 aggregation with distinct changes in solubility and autophagy dysregulation.

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is an incurable neurodegenerative disease that affects neurons in the brain and spinal cord, causing loss of muscle control, and eventually leads to death. Phosphorylated transactive response DNA binding protein-43 (TDP-43) is the major pathological protein in both sporadic and familial ALS, forming cytoplasmic aggregates in over 95% of cases. Of the 10-15% of ALS cases that are familial, mutations in TDP-43 represent about 5% of those with a family history.
