Discovering the rules of synaptic plasticity is an important step for understanding brain learning. Existing plasticity models are either (1) top-down and interpretable, but not flexible enough to ...

Abstract: Functional rehabilitation of the hand is a complex and difficult process involving a large number of degrees of freedom (DOFs). Soft wearable hand-rehabilitation robots have assisted hand ...

Pathological heart injuries such as myocardial infarction induce adverse ventricular remodeling and progression to heart failure owing to widespread cardiomyocyte death. The adult mammalian heart is ...

Macrophages are key components of the innate immune system and exhibit extensive plasticity and heterogeneity. They play a significant role in the non-pregnant cycling uterus and throughout gestation ...

Total energy intake, diet composition, and length of fasting between meals contribute to oscillations in the ratios of the levels of the bioenergetic sensors nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD +) ...

Neuronal innervation in the adipose tissues plays a crucial role in regulating adipose thermogenic capacity and metabolic homeostasis. The tissue-wide nerves display a large extent of structural ...

Plasticity of thermoset polymers has been realized by introducing exchangeable bonds, and the plasticity is mostly triggered via heat or UV light. Visible light is a relatively mild trigger that has ...

Not surprisingly, the potential of this cytoplasmic mechanism of gene expression regulation has been best exemplified in biological contexts. Examples of these situations are when a rapid and ...
