Unlike conventional electromechanical sensors, NIR sensors precisely capture vibrational frequencies propagated from the actuators without needing ultraclose contact, enhancing wearing comfort. Demonstrated examples include ANIRPs for comprehensively moduli mapping of artificial tissues with varied mechanical properties emulating tumorous fibrosis.

To overcome these obstacles, an acoustofluidic RR-based tweezing method is developed to manipulate micro-sized particles that can enhance particle trapping through the resonance interaction of acoustic waves with high <i>Q</i> factor (>3000), more than 20 times greater than traditional acoustic transducers. Particles can be precisely manipulated within the RR by adjusting the signal phase, with trapping amplified by enlarging the connected waveguide. Rapid particle mixing is achieved when particles are placed between the waveguide and RR. The signal path is strengthened by strategically positioning the RR in a two-dimensional plane.

Despite established roles in multiple cellular processes, neither INF2 knockout mice nor mice with a disease-associated point mutation display an evident kidney or neurologic phenotype. Here, we compared responses to puromycin aminonucleoside (PAN)–induced kidney injury between INF2 R218Q and INF2 knockout mice.

Colocalization, coimmunoprecipitation analyses, and cellular actin measurements showed that INF2 R218Q confers a gain-of-function effect on the actin cytoskeleton.

Both podocytes from INF2 R218Q mice and human kidney organoids with an INF2 mutation (S186P) recapitulate adhesion and mitochondrial phenotypes.

Here, we mapped and analyzed the global WUI at 30-meter resolution in 2000, 2010, and 2020.

Constraints intensify when nutrient supply is limited and surplus energy is directed toward pathogen defense and reproduction, as occurred throughout hominin evolution. This paper reviews evidence linking exposomes to musculoskeletal health in subsistence populations, focusing on effects of physical activity, pathogens, diet, and reproduction. Chronic musculoskeletal conditions are common for humans and possibly prehistoric hominins but rarer in quadrupedal apes. We propose that transition to bipedalism ~6 to 8 million years ago constituted an early “mismatch scenario,\" increasing hominin susceptibility to musculoskeletal conditions vis-à-vis quadrupedal apes due to changes in mechanical loading environments.
